I was simple stating that this adapter would be pretty cool in a Maglite and due to the large capacity of D cells should have awesome runtime. That's it.
why would you use malkoff surefire\solarforce drop in in maglite, when malkoff makes great dropins designed for maglite. with proper heat path.
p60 modules were made by surefire for their incandescent lights, there was no concern for removing heat since bulbs do not need it, only quick replacement. led p60 were made as a retrofit to use with such surefire lights, they work ok, when wraped in foil and sit very tight in a flashlight. most of those have brass pill, which is an inferior material as far as heat transfer goes. worst than alu, and copper. malkof's mag dropin uses alum, heatsink, and has very clever way to make good heat path to the body.
sorry if i came off as rude, was not my intent. i just think you are looking in a wrong direction for your project. there are better ways, i'm a big fan of maglites, in 20 or so years in the hobby i build prbly close to 100 mag mods, learned many things the hard way, and pass the knowledge here so others do not make same mistakes.
