Go with two RCR123 Lithium Ion batteries. Other members have noted no problems with that setup. The Li Ions will over volt the Led ring, but I have never had a problem.

I've been told some folks reported that the said cells would work. However the A2's battery chamber is extremely picky and that most RCRs won't even fit in.What if you used LiFe batteries like those from K2 energy (the kind Surefire sells on their website)? Then you won't be overdriving the LEDs nearly as much as the voltage range of those cells is lower then Li-ion.
Put a Tads Customs adapter in it and a 3712 bulb.
Google Tads Customs for his eBay store.
You'll thank him later.
I looked at his sight and saw his selection of lamps. You recommend the 3712 bulb. Any comments on the A3718 w/140 lumen with only 1/3 more current draw (.6a) How long does your A3712 last on a set of batteries?
Thanks
Noticed on Lumen Factory's New Products page that they now sell an LED replacement for the main incan bulb.
Yes I have... also the reason why I invested on my first A2 some months ago...Yes, has anyone tried the new Lumens Factory LED drop in module for A2 lights?
LF didn't bypass the in-body driver; it kind of complements it. But the driver concerned did pose certain headache to LF when developing the main LED dropin. Simply put, the dropin can't have extra-high specs as the in-body driver would eventually step down everything to regulate (ie. decrease) the overall output. So unless the in-body driver can be tweaked or modified, there's no way to further increase the LED module's output whatsoever.I wonder how LF bi passes the A2's voltage regulated circuit with their constant current regulated LED drop in?
Not easy to pull off beamshots, but I can try. I may even consider posting a small video walkthrough as well as comparison between this and the E2e tower module.+1 on the beamshots, if you could post some! I've an A2 that I've been on the fence about picking up that LED drop-in for. . .
