Is L1D body compatible with new L2D Q5?

tslrc · Dec 5, 2007

I saw on Fenix-Store that the L1D body is compatible with L2D-CE, which I bought it for originally, can I assume it is also compatible with my new L2D-CE Q5 I just ordered.

Does anyone know how bright this will be in each mode?

Yes it's compatible but because of the lower voltage(1.5 vs 3.0) turbo and high will be about the same. The other levels should be unaffected. Obviously the run times will also be shorter.

As Steve L said. For output/runtime graphs, see here:

I have the L2D Rebel 100 that I can use on the L1D body and as Steve said you lose the Turbo mode, and as Selfbuilt points out you lose runtime. Because I don't EDC the light, I use in only with the L2D body so I have the option of Turbo. Turbo rocks!

does the rebel 100 turbo mode generate as much heat as the Q5?

I had both the L2D Rebel 100 and Q5. I gave the Q5 version away to my dad, so i can't compare any more.

Likely, since since my Q2 head ran hotter than my R100. Graph available here:

Thanks for the help. I understand for some lights you can't add larger tubes if that would overpower the LED, but in this case just wanted to be sure sizing was the same for all L2D's, including the new Q5.

Thanks,
Steve

if i can find a 1d body, i'm gonna stuff my l2d q5 with a 14500!

You will only get turbo,(High, medium, and low will all be the same brightness) SOS, and strobe. Above ~ 3.2v(14500 - 4.2v fully charged) the light goes into direct drive. For all the modes to work correctly the input voltage needs to be at ~3.2v or lower.
