3d mag-lite sst-90 pic pesado

1. SST-90 from Kaidomain Luminus SST-90 WM W65S F3 LED Star
2. Massive 9A driver made by Der Wichtel here. I actually ordered it from our resident mag expert jayrob:beer: thanks Jay:bowdown:
3. Aluminum reflector like this one also sourced from jayrob.
4. Borofloat lens and yes jay man sourced again muhaaa:eg:
5. MAG-LITE from WalyWorld 19.99US special.:na:


Now I have tested the driver and it is pulling 2.64A out of the cells and delivering 8.89A to the emitter. I'm using 32600 KD cells for a little over 12V, well 12.6V on fully charged cells. While the unit gets warm in NO time, after 3 to 4 minutes your like WOW that's hot:wtf:. I have future plans which includes a aspherical lens and eventually a different reflector I don't know at this point from what I've read I could use the aspherics with no reflector... you tell me LPF:thinking:.

Thank you in advance for looking have a good day:thanks:

That's a great looking light!

You don't need a reflector to use with an aspheric lens, but you would need a very large aspheric lens. The SST90 is a BIG led.

If you are looking for a beam like this, link you would need a huge lens.

Easier way to go would with an XML2, or for even tighter beam XPG2.

Mag 1D SST-90 build
SST-90 Mag 2D aspheric build, low resistance, direct drive

a few things to read through. You won't get laser throwiness, but it won't be a slouch either.

You might see if you can find some bergquist copper stars for the sst90, if you can reflow

Very tidy looking "pill" you got, there, nice work

Thanks man... I have some lenses on the way just have to sit tight.

iono if anybody has a host @ 2.5" or 3" diameters, but you might consider searching for clear replica lenses. "clear replica lens" is a term used in the headlight retrofitting community by the folks who actually modify the optics of the OEM projector, rather than reusing halogen optics for the wrong light source. For example, Acura TL used to have the best 3" bixenon projector all around. Modders are looking for a crisp cutoff, though, so they swapped out the frosted/textured aspheric that comes on the Koito TL projector with a clear lens that was found on an older ZKW projector from a BMW.

When these old lenses were discovered, their price skyrocketed, and someone had the idea of making replicas of the commonly used lenses, but make them clear for that sharp cutoff.

Don't know if the price is right, but if you are into aspherics, might be worth looking at.

the distance between the cutoff shield and the back of the lens is a good indication of focal length.
