your first post, welcome to the fray
it does look like some form of “potting” (conformal coating and encapsulation are both “potting”)
there are a number of different materials used, but yes, you could generically call them “epoxy potted”, although technically there are differences
a difference between fully potted (encapsulated), and conformal coating, is that fully potted is not repairable, conformal coating is easier to remove if a repair is needed, but both serve to bond and protect.
HDS and Zebra seem to me to use conformal coatings, though they call their lights potted, and they do withstand gun recoil
Malkoff actually does full epoxy encapsulation, it also withstands gun recoil
I think the Fenix E01 is epoxy encapsulated, which is why they cannot be LED modified… IF I understand correctly
now, tell us a bit what your question means to your situation? Are you happy with your Inova, are you trying to chage the LED? Have you dropped the light and did it keep working? (some unpotted lights also work after dropping)
