I am looking into 'perfecting' my SF lego, KL5 on M2 body.
The next logical step will be either the SW01 / SW02 tailcap, but I am slightly confused on the resistance issue of these tailcaps.

To my understanding, the SW01 has 'higher' resistance than the SW02, but how will that affect light output?
Will the KL5 be dimmer? or if I want to revert back to incandescent M2 (p60/P61), should I avoid using these SW01/SW02?
Im leaning towards the SW01 for the look.
I appreciate the expert advice in advance.

It should not affect the KL5 head because it uses a boost circuit. On the bulbs, it might be very slightly dimmer. I really couldn't tell the difference using the SW02 on my M3 with standard bulb.

The SW01 afaik uses the normal twisty-internals, which should give very low resistance.
