Using a razor blade remove the dome from the XHP70 LED. Cut low, but not too close or you'll damage the bond wires. The dome is used to spread light, for this build we want to concentrate it. It should look like picture 3 when your done.

Solder an R120 resistor over the 2 existing sense resistor shown here on the driver. This will boost the max current of the driver from 5000ma to 6300ma.
