A friend of a friend has contacted me to help him convert his stock G2 into a rechargeable LED light in a cost effective way, mainly used for hunting in deer country.
Even though I have over forty lights I still don't know much. So, any suggestions would be very welcome......I think he has already settled on a pair of AW 17670's (one spare) and the WF-139 charger with car adaptor. The main question is the LED drop-in.
Points that need to be considered;
To be either 3.7V only.....or 3.7V-6.0V. (He may carry primary cells as back-up)
To be mainly a thrower with good light output.
Single level only. (forgot to put this in originally)
Not too sure of the color of the beam. (I have no experience hunting with lights)
He does not mind if there is an acceptable gap between the head and body, as long as it works.
Then there is the question of heat, are there any differences in heat generation/dissipation between the various LED units?.....is this going to be a problem with all of them in the G2? (The light will be on for about one minute at a time)
The cost of the LED unit should be no more than about US$35.00.
Thank you for any input in advance.
