I assembled a 'TW4' today to build a dedicated low-med 1 level general purpose light for auxillary EDC, complimenting the C2 listed in my sig line, and the D2 as well.
When I assembled the light I used the stock tailcap that came with the E1e, and while not as bright on one primary cell as on two, obviously, is still pretty good. Well I thought, the crenalated tailcap from my E2DL would make a good addition to the package for it's tailstanding qualities, so I swap them out and there is a difference in output using this tailcap! Probably ~25% less bright. There is also some noticable flickering that is not there when using the L4 body or running the stock incan bulb and the old style Z57 tailcap.
What gives? Would this increase or decrease runtime? How do I stop the flickering?
Thanks in advance,
J
