This light has ok output but I would like to see if we can get a little more.
The light uses an optic like SureFire's TIR and has a nice spot with no spill. They claim 90 lumens on a single 18650 and only 60 lumens on 2x CR123's which seems weird. Below are some pictures maybe someone can tell what LED they are using and recommend a replacement.
The LED should be very easy to change. Changing the driver would be easy also but not sure if driving it much harder (not that I have any idea how many ma it is at now) would be a good idea. The module is very light weight with very little mass. It makes contact with a metal sleeve but the head and body of the light are plastic. On the plus side in it's stock form the module only gets warm even out of the water after 30 minutes.
So any idea's???
Thanks
