Hi,

I recently received my Solarforce L2 R2 0.8v-4.2vw/ one mode only,

It includes an extention tube for two AA batteries.

Is the 2xAA about 170-180Lumen on Hi mentioned below same with the one that I have?
How can I convert my L2 to 1AA?

Thanks

Different driver ?? And I would assume its going to be about the same as the self made one I did [ 1A Buck boost driver ] is also around 180Lumen .
I would say its a Voltage thing .

1xAA = L2M + Low Voltage Pill , and you would want to remove the contact spring from the driver to make more room for the longer AA [ against CR123A ]

I have 2xAA built on L2 [ 18650 ] and L2M [ 1xCR123A ]
And was planning on doing a DIY guide within the next few days .
