Mystery sky ray mod

I got this flashlight from wallbuys on their instant kill sale a
while back for $25 I modded the carrier from 3 parallel to 3
series and dropped in 3 de-domed XM-L2 U2's on 20mm octogons
from IO they just barely fit. It now has a dry driver with very
heavy gauge wire. The pics are the Sky ray mystery machine first
and then the Terminator. On a ceiling bounce they are about even
for lumens. The first pick is the SR the second the terminator.
The last pic is the J-19 in the same place last night.

I like the sky ray mod better, the tint is nicer and it throws a
little further and it cost half as much ;D. They are both
really nice and the Terminator is a nice light for walking with.
One handed button function is a bonus if I'm out walking. The
sky ray mod did have a side button and I could possibly put it
back in with a little work but I know It would add resistance
and cost some lumens. Now this light does get hot fast so much
so that I added heat sinking to it. The blue stuff doesn't
actually show in real life or not much anyway. Just me being
sloppy with the thermal epoxy. I should clean it up one of these
days now that I see it in the picture. I just sanded down a few
spots and stuck them on. It actually does help.
