What I have is a FiveMega 1x16340 (3p) aluminum body, G2 nitrolon head with a ULC lens, a Surefire Z59, and a Lumens Factory D26-Led (3-3.7 volt 3 mode), powered by a CR123. I prefer the G2 bezel because in my opinion, it make such a small light much more comfortable in my pocket. Ninety percent of the time that I use this light it is on the lowest level. I just wanted the CPF community's opinion on whether or not this configuration is providing proper heat dissipation.
I've also been contemplating using some thermal compound to for better heat transfer between the module and body. I know this is kind of a messy solution, but considering that batteries are loaded through the tail cap it's something I don't have to worry about until I decide to change the module in the distant future. I've seen a few people mention using strips of aluminum or copper cut to snug up the fit, but that seem a little tedious when I have the thermal paste on hand. Also can someone advise me on the toxicity content of thermal compound before I put it in something I'll be carrying in my pocket and holding in my hands. I'd hate to find my self with some kind of heavy metal poisoning or something.
