First mod and does out shine my L2D.

Solarforce cree r2, 3D maglite.

Nice mod, I would worry about the thermal management. I can't tell for sure from the photos, but if there isn't any other heatsinking, I wouldn't leave the light on for more than 5 minutes.

The heat isn't too bad up to 10 minutes, will see how it goes.

I would think about getting a good heatsink, it's so much wasted space in this light...

+1
Better heatsinking will allow the emitter to run brighter for longer
Also, the reflector looks tiny in the Mag head.

After 10mins a LED was at 68c.

Will look into a new heatsink and reflector.
