Hello Fellow Flashaholics!!
After browsing quite a while on CPF and finding A LOT of information, some the opposite of others i am getting and would like to post a new thread to ask: the new ThruNite XP-G R5 does indeed seem to fit a Nitrolon G2 Surefire.
But I read on several posts that Nitrolon is a bad heat conductor, and hence powerful LED "may" suffer from overheating, or harm the flashlight and/or Li-ion batteries . Therefor i had already dropped the idea of a Malkoff M60 MC-E Quad Die on my G2.
Now that the new XP-G R5 is out, available from 3.7 to 9V with 345lumens advertise i am keen on installing it in replacement of my Solarforce R2, that seem to have contacts that loosen when heating (therefor shutting off after 30sec...specially with the Trustfire 16340, about 2mm longer pushing harder than other ones)
Is it risky to put such a powerful LED in a Nitrolon? Has anyone used it successfully :thumbsup:? Unsuccessfully:thumbsdow??
Thanks for you help saving me some bucks and bad smell (burned LED smell terribly...)
While waiting for your percious advice i'll stick to: :candle:
:thanks:
