Solarforce low voltage XR-E Cree 0.8-4.2V with AW 17670 in G2 body?

Doggonit · Jul 9, 2012

Would that combo work quite well?

And how about if I were to add a Solarforce S6 tailcap to it? Or is that thing no go with the G2 body?

I have that drop in and it has terrible PWM on medium and low.

Well, it also comes in straight one-mode...

Is your G2 a older incan version or the newer version? If its the older incan version I wouldn't recommend it as the module needs a metal head in order to dissapate the head generated. If its the newer version with the metal head then you should be fine.

Would the low voltage LED module really get that hot compared to the pretty hot P60? Yeah, mine is the old, non-metal head. Okay, so say the LV LED is out, how do I keep the P60 then but upgrade at the very least to rechargable batteries in some form? I was told that using a 17670 with the P60, which expects 6V, isn't going to work out too well as the 17670 is charged to 4.2V max.

If you decide to keep it incan, look into a Lumens Factory 3.7v drop in.

You could still use your G2 body tube, but use a aftermarket (Solarforce) metal head for less than $5. Checkout solarforceflashlight-sales.com, you might find some other goodies there as well

It's not that it won't work running the P60 on a single 17670...it will just be less bright than the first 10 minutes worth of use or so from the lithium primaries. The rechargeable will last longer though, plus it's rechargeable ;D

This is the second time I rewrite this...

This config works alright in all plastic G2s, I've had several up and running for friends like this.
