	I found this on Instructables... I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to. I've wanted a SureFire light for a while, but they're just a little too pricy for me right now. This looks like a great alternative! http://www.instruc...d/EU9I131F1B3RHOB/ The only thing it's missing is the tailcap switch... I'll have to think about that one.

	You could always get a SureFire G2 (composite body, around $35) EDIT: Oh I see, you posted a joke. Missed that the first time around... [last edit 8/12/2007 2:28 AM by insanedArk - edited 1 times] Stay tuned for Exploring the World with Insane Dick!

	Seems to overheat based on the comments. Nice little hack though.

	I know a guy who did this. The one on the left is the modded one & the one on the right is a 2AA LED MiniMag. SS 1/4 Second AP 2.6 ISO80

	I made one of these, it's useful for quick illumination, but gaurenteed to overheat and melt the plastic lens assembly if used for more then a minute or two at a time.

I have a Streamlight twin-task (both luxon and leds) and I turned on accidentally in my pocket. It burned my thigh and the dam thing took 20 minutes to cool down. No wonder it was on sale.
