Hello everyone.
As a newly converted CPF addict, I've been looking at cheap flashlights I have at home to modify. I am very pleased with how my 6D and 2D Mag modifications came out and my next potential subject is a 4D Garrity Lantern, which is displayed below:
I would love to put an LS in this thing because of the reflector. It is incredible how tightly this reflector focuses its beam. My dilemma right now is heat. This particular flashlight has a rubber body, which, no doubt is horrible at dissipating heat (in that it doesn't heh). Heat is definitely an issue with a 5 watter so I'm wondering if:
A) Anyone knows of an aluminum-bodied 4D or 6V lantern
or
B) Has any idea about how to solve the heat issues.
Thanks for your time.
