Changing the resistors for a 4-5A max current crossed my mind as well. I think 4A is quite plenty with a MT-G2. For general use that could actually use a low-low mode in addition to the Hi/med/low it has now.
That being sed, I must first give it a quick try outside just to see the huge amount of light it is able to give.
I’ll keep the XM-L2 as is for the time being. I really like how it throws and I’m not too conserned it it gets sacraficed for the science.
I really love this host even if it is somewhat large.
[edit] Tested it. A real joy to see that amount of light! I guess it kind of “throws” ie. you can see far but it lights up much larger area than any of my other lights. It seemed to start dimming some at about 30s or so at what point I ended the test. No need to destroy this fun toy. (It warms up pretty fast, not hot at that time though. I guess I should have leveled the pill before glueing on the led). I’ll be returning to 4A level I guess.
