@ JaredM; I’ll try to get some comparative beamshots up, but my camera is lacking the manual settings to do it well.
@ M4D M4X; Just for you, I took a reading without the battery tube & switch assy; Jumping a 25r through the multimeter showed a little over 4.5a. Obviously the meter eats up a little current, but it’s all I have to measure it.
A wise decision bro! Modding flashlights is a gratifying experience. And the good thing about being in BLF is that the people here are always willing to share what they know.
Stick a UCLp AR lens in there and watch how high that throw number jumps.
My dedomed XM-L2 is making 369.25Kcd.
Nice work on that tail switch, not sure all three points were necessary at under 5A, but you gave it the whole 9 yds at any rate. Makes me want to add a switch to my XM-L2 version. It’s currently sitting awaiting use with the battery tube screwed out to break connection. Would be nice to not have to do that!
