The G3D FLY was a funny light, came with what was basically G3 body in a yellow that could be spotted miles away. It was originally (well not anymore) MIL-STD-810 rated, which is all sort of tough rated but I think specifically "explosive environment safe" which I believe explains the plastic lens on an otherwise well built light engine. Unfortunately the original emitter was a Seoul P4 with pretty ugly color and limited output. I swapped it for an XP-L HI 3000K emitter. The stock driver is a 3 mode/output, the stock output was just over 100 lumens. The XP-L HI should be significantly better, more testing to come. Still can't decide if I want to keep this mod or make room for the next one.
