So running the light in direct drive using 2xalkalines or 2xNiMH looks like there should be no heat issue. Of course, output is also correspondingly lower. Relative luminous flux at 3V/150mA drive current is about 50% or around 50 lumens for the Q5. Not bad for a quick and dirty AA Mini Mag direct drive build.

Great information, thanks a lot.

I received the light tonight and I really enjoy it. I like the optic you put in it, Its created the biggest hotspot I have ever seen. Where did you get them? Also what kind of reflector was used, it does not look like the stock mag reflector.

Once again thanks for the light!

 

[old4570]

Lens from DX .. Acrylic 17mm ? if memory serves .

Reflector is stock Mag , just modified a little .. to fit Cree .

:thumbsup: Arrived safe and well :thumbsup:

Just kidding, but I would like to see the photos, if they could be reposted?

For heatsinking you can do this mod slightly different, I posted this up a while ago.

It would work fine with DD as well. A tailswitch is mandatory however, but I have 3 of these and they warm up nicely, and have decent output.

 

[old4570]

Hmmm , the pictures are still up ...
