XP-G R4 Nitecore Extreme

[Anto]

Bored tonight (Read: Don't start drinking vanilla coke at 12am), I decided to open up the NEX head. It wasn't too hard, I used vise grips, an old mousepads & a hairdryer.

Swapped emitter, Q5 to R4.

Comparison beamshots.
XP-G R4 Nitecore Extreme on L, XP-G R4 @ 1.4A, 300L OTF on R.

Compared to the Q5, this is muuuch brighter. You can play with the reflector a bit to bias toward spot or spill.

Great job!

Are both beamshots with the xp-g R4?

How would you rate Nitecore's heatsinking on the Extreme?

Do any of the Malkoff or nailbender dropins work in the extream?
