https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/201752a few people have already done this mod, and one guy for sure switched it back
This post taken from the thread I referenced above should help you decide whether you want to pursue this mod or not:Would the p7 be a better choice?
No. The R2 has better efficiency and should be brighter at the same current. Doesn't help putting a led that can take a gazillion amps into a flashligt when the circuit is still putting out 500ma. Efficiency is what counts here.Is P7 brighter than R2 on max?
I don't care the throw; just wandering about the total lumens.
Would the p7 be a better choice? I would not mind losing the spot for the flood beam. If anyone can do this mod I would be interested in a quote.
Thanks
