Curt, thanks for the reply. I am new to modifying flashlights and I am trying to learn. It gets kind of confusing reading and trying to learn. It seems like everybody expects everyone else to have some minimum prior knowledge of the subject.
Is there a Flashlight Moding For Dummies book available?
KD says that my light has a XR-E Q5, 230 lm emitter in it that is driven at 1520 mA. Isn't the XP-G a higher output emitter?
I have a ThruNight Catapult V3 with the XM-L 900 lm. I shoot 100 yard targets, at night at the local range, with my air rifles. I have gun mounts for the Cat and the KD RQ lights. The Cat is a lot bigger, heavier, bulkier and the throw is wider than the RQ. I thought that the RQ would work better for me if I could get output similar to the Catapult as the RQ seems to be a lot more focused at 100 yards.
The Spear and the KD RQ are known for having a tight beam and good throw. I just need more output. If there is another single 18650 light out there that has a higher output with the tight hotspot at 100 yards, I am unaware of it.
I know that the emitter, driver and possibly the clicky would have to be changed. I was wondering if there is a drop in unit that a noob could install with out too much trouble.
If no drop ins are available, I still need someone to do the mod for me.
