Hi, all, been a long time since I've been around here, and found my old PD the other day, circa 2005. It's been a really good light, it has signs of wear, which means it got a lot of use back in those days. I was actually looking for a new light a few days ago while on here, when I ran across it. I thought, you know, this really still has a great design, small and compact, and functions really well, has two levels, which to be honest, is all most people need.
So, in my research, I was delighted to find the Wiz2x2 driver that was used in mine, is compatible with RCR123a's (which is what I'm wanting to use, since primary's are so expensive). So, really all I need to be back up and running, is a few RCR123a's and a charger.
This got me to wondering though, as I did several years ago, if the PD could be upgraded somehow. It currently has a LuxeonIII TYOJ emitter in it. If memory serves me, the driver is setup to provide CC 30mA on low, and ~530mA on high. Is there anything easy that could be done to upgrade the emitter (get a little more output, maybe slightly warmer color), without upgrading the entire light? Like could I get away with just the emitter, maybe a reflector change?
If so, is this something I could DIY (I have experience soldering and what not), or would this be a service Don provides?
Thanks for reading!
