One of my friends carries around his G2 with the original P60, so I decided to install a Dereelight XP-E R4 pill with Ultrafire reflector so that it will have higher output as well as ridiculous increase in lux. (Between 13,000 to 14,000 lux.)
I inserted the drop-in, screwed the head back on, turned it on and... Nothing.
Upon investigation, the overall height of the drop-in was a little too short for the pill to make contact with the conductive tubing inside the battery compartment. Tightening the head all the way didn't help due to the gap. The contact was achieved only after I repeatedly smashed the drop-in and body of the light together.
The drop-in is snug inside the light at the moment, due to the fact that I applied an absurd amount of copper tape around the drop-in. It would take a major force to get the drop-in out.
However, I have to ask if there is some sort of fitting ring to fill in the gap and prevent the drop-in from becoming loose? Using the contact spring that came with the drop-in is out of the question, because the head doesn't screw all the way in.
