Found these massive Defiants today at a local Home Depot for 12 bucks each. (Clearance from $29.99) i grabbed three of the 7 they had there. These are the largest Defiant lights i seen so far, three-D cells, XM-L2, etc. larger than even the DST, but the reflector is not as deep.

I can see these making a great three or two 32650 cell conversion, and a XHP70 or MT-G2 mod host.
These are big & heavy enough to bludgeon an elephant to death as a defense weapon.

The XHP-70 can be configured to run on 6V or 12V, I am choosing 12V 6V. Ideally I suppose, running a 6V configuration with a 2S configuration and a driver is ideal. 2S hosts are common and …

Here is a tear down of that light. I have never seen a mod of this light, and this with all that were bought by members here.
