HDS CREEmation



A somewhat artsy logo I composited in Photoshop from several photos of an HDS CREEmated light. Kinda has that glossy gee-whiz catalog look! No, I'm not a Photoshop expert.

Lately I've started upgrading HDS U60, B42, and similar lights with Cree emitters. The result for a B42 can be dramatic: max output increases from 42 lumens to perhaps 84 and maybe even more. It's not the easiest modification in the world and certainly not a simple drop-in procedure, but I'm getting the hang of it!



The CREEmated B42 (left) owns a stock U60.

There's a post on CandlePowerForums over here with additional photos. I hope to do some more of these in the future.
