I am very happy with my Fenix L0D and am wondering if it is feasible to mod it to an XP-G.
One option is just wait for a new light. Unfortunately, the LD01 gets rid of the flash mode, which I use. I sent e-mail suggesting a return of the flash mode, but i am thinking it is unlikely that when an XP-G version appears it will have a flash mode. The LiteFlux has a flash mode but it looks hard to get quickly and easily back and forth between flash and steady. Hence my interest in an XP-G mod.
According to Cree, the XP-G and XP-E have similar packages, so there is some hope the XP-G is a solder-in replacement for the XP-E, which is what I assume the CE Fenix L0D lights use

I have a Q4 L0D, so in theory could get an extra 25% light by going to an XP-G. Not a revolution, but it would still be nice. Are there any close-up pictures of the CE L0D that would help me figure out if this mod is possible and if reflector changes, etc. would be needed?
