It took me a while but I finally completed this mod, which started out as a FW1A Pro. This is what I did:
- FET+7+1 driver upgraded to T1616 with aux support
- Orange, green and purple aux
- Yinding 5050 3000k emitter (warm and rosy, CRI > 70)
- 3D printed spacer (white PETG)
- Aspheric lens
I am getting around 76000cd at turn on, which is very similar to what the Bean Master got with a CULPM1 and a smooth reflector. But remember this Yinding is 3000k and rosy with a duv of -0.0075, and I think this makes it very impressive.
The main reason why I used an aspheric lens is because I needed aux, and suitable TIRs are just not throwy enough. I would also like to try to put those tiny RGB aux leds between the emitter and a reflector in the future. Enjoy the photos (sorry that most of them are in the wrong orientation, I uploaded them with my phone and I don't think they let me set the orientation)

Thanks man, you inspire me to do these kind of mods. And of course, it would not have been possible without the adapter you designed.
