Would heat shrink tubing on the exterior of a flashlight cause it to overheat the LED ?
I'm aware that the housing acts as a heatsink but usually just the head area gets hot. Would covering all of it disperse the heat to more areas of the metal body or trap too much in ?
I'm considering doing this to all models of my Fenix lights since they are a straight tubular design.
Just thought it might be a good way of protecting them against dents & dings.
Has anyone tried this or is it a bad idea ? ?
