Some of you may remember the thread I started here......SF's M2 bezel + E-series adapter kit I have two technical questions relating to that thread, for those of you who are familiar with SureFire's M-series and C-series bezels........
I noticed in my M2 bezel that the lamp module is recessed about 1/2 inch from the lens, due to the shock mount gasket in the bezel. In the thread above, I stated that I had acquired a P91 lamp module, to give the bezel the highest output lamp available for it using my E1e body and my two Dspeck battery extensions. When I compare my G2/P60 lamp module to the M2/P91 module, I of course see a different light output level, and I see a much smaller overall light pattern projected from the M2.
My first question is, if the overall diameter of the M2 bezel's output is so much less than that of the G2, then about how much of the P91's light output is lost through absorption into the gasket material? I am aware that the C-series bezels do not have the gasket material, and no light from any lamp module will be lost inside the bezel since the module's reflector is flush against the Pyrex glass lens.
My second question is can I remove the shock mount gasket from the M2 bezel, and use the bezel with the P60 or P91 module in order to regain the lost light output?
