It will match my orange Lemax light, and orange Rv. On a serious note, my Lemax has been a lifesaver for us in the Arizona desert.
Why jeepers bulbmogul, I do believe I may have offended your ego! So, so sorry! You inquired about the possible correlation of the two lights and, I do believe I gave you some sage advice--search the forums. Now, since you've asked so nicely, "please" not to contact you via PM, I'll be only too happy to oblige! As my mailbox shows, I did send you one PM on 3/23/2018 but, I'd not sent you any others as far as I can tell. I'm presuming you may have found that one offensive as well...might touchy it appears! I just reread it though and I THOUGHT (certainly was my intention!) it was informative. Ah well, best intentions!
I don't believe I have "pushed" any particular product. Now, I will admit I certainly have and do indicate my experiences with the lights I have purchased and, when I believe it may be useful to other members, give direction but, I don't have employ with XeVision rather have a hobby-oriented relationship with them. Bulbmogul, considering you started this thread---within which all were inasmuch invited to participate, I thought the references to Dan and XeVision were appropriate. He and his company are the only business I am aware of who have come forward in regards to possible modification of the very topic here, the LEMAX series of fine lights. Now, I could be wrong and, if I am, I'll sure say so and, become better informed....but, I don't think there are others. I know you, as well as many others "here", INCLUDING myself, collect some of these "big guns" of lighting apparatus. Many of us as well, enjoy the prospect of squeezing out every last lumen, just as would like any of our possessions performing as well as possible. I'll say, thanks for starting this thread since, after I saw it, I've followed it religiously, so to speak. I'd hoped that my creating another thread specific to the possible upgrade of the LEMAX lights might be useful and yet, not stray too far off topic. Referencing that thread provided a segway to more information. That has been accomplished. Lord only knows I wouldn't dare "force" a modification upon you, providing you a better performing light than that which you so dearly love! Providing the mod service reaches fruition, I'm sure you will still maintain comfort in a lesser-performing though still, amazing light!
Now, please don't (see, I'm TRYING to be nice!) mis-identify this as being bragging but, I really have more dang lights than I know what to do with! Quite frankly, I should sell a big bunch of them and use the proceeds to move to Dubai! We could test our powerful lights on that runway where you were piloting your fine bicycle! We could switch off doing beamshots!!!
Anyway, to get to my reference of "on" and "off" switches being somewhat elusive, I'll confess there are some (most ?) of my lights I haven't used in quite some time and anything more complex than a simple switch forces me back here or to an operator's manual to figure 'em out! I'll be honest as well however, I really haven't "dusted" them off though---can't see the dust in the dark doncha know!!? I suspect I'm not (completely) alone on this one.
To conclude, should I have irked you with my tongue-in-cheek humor, so be it! "Please" don't read my posts! You'll feel much better soon...I'm certain of it!
Excuse me, I've got to go, have to check the tire pressure on my Maserati!!

Awesome collection!
I used to have 1ds mark III (amazing full frame 1 series canon) with many L lenses including 50mm f1.0. I now have 5d mark III with 35l, 50 1.2l, 85l, 100l, 24 tse, 1635, 2470 and a 300mm 2.8 IS II and 2x adaptor
Time to setup that camera on tripod and take some beam shot of the light reaching the moon
Night shooting beamshots is not easy. For me, lots of trial and error. I usually take multiple shots with multiple exposures and find that in the end, by the time I post it to CPF, I have to use an over-exposed shot to make it appear as it does to my eye when taking the shot. IIRC, for my Canon S5IS, I end up using about 4-5 seconds at f3 or so.
Oh my , my kind of talk. I was a Canon guy for a few years and had the entire lineup of lenses to include all the Super Telephotos. Had the stuff for about 5 years got tired of it, sold it all off but the body as they have no value then one day several years ago I wanted a new Nikon D5. I know have 2 Nikon D5's along wit the ENTIRE Nikkor Lens Lineup including all the newest Super Telephotos from the 200 F/2 all the way up to the new Nikon 800MM F/5.6 FLED (CHA CHING) I also have a Leica SL Type 601 and just recently bought the new Hasselblad X1D MF Camera Black Body Limited Edition. Have not yet open or used either the new Leica or Hassie yet but do use or mess with my Nikon D5& Nikkor 200MM F/2 VR2..That is a BEAST of a lens.. The lens mounted to my 1DSMK# is a Canon 400MM F/4 DO..
My newest lens is the Leica Noctilux 50MM F/0.95 It is now the fastest 50MM Lens in the world along with the price tag it commands. Leica just released a new Noctilux 75MM F/1.25 that has not yet hit the market for $12,750.00
I have a issue trying to upload pictures directly from my computer to the forum as it appears you have to put the pictures on a hosting site first..? Is there ny way pictures can be directly posted to the forum..? I was going to try my IPHONE this morning when i videoed the beamshot but figured i would be unable to post pictures directly here. I have no problem posting my youtube videos but pictures are a issue for me..
I'm into astronomy and even with my new lens (scope) I don't think I would see the light of a LX70 superpower from the moon. View attachment 7240
