Zappaman - have you considered dedomeing the c8.2 led? That will give you more candela - not sure the numbers but it’s often 1.5 to 2 times stock - I believe it’s 32kcd stock.
I have ordered a c8.2 for mounting on a 22/shotgun - my maxtoch 2X is really just too heavy and wasted on the short range shots under 100m
