Leef/Milky M-180

That one's unusually elegant looking, Jeff. Can you tell me what went into it?

 

[Boy SureFire]

those are some hot bodies:thumbsup:

 

[Monocrom]

A topic definitely worth resurrecting.

I'll see about getting my hands on a cheap digital camera so I can post pics of my Leef-bodied M4 and Leef-bodied 9P.

(Yup, just what you're picturing. The M4 is two-tone due to the body being black).

 

[Boy SureFire]

can't wait to see LB 9P :twothumbs

Are your clickies still alive?

Yes, all working fine!

You are lucky! I'm not brave enough to send more than 3A through my Z48. I've heard some horrible stories about dead clickies... A fellow CPFer had his clicky killed by an inoffensive IMR-9, and you are torturing your tailcaps with the WA1111! LOL

I think (not sure of this) the SW02 has the same internals as a Z48, and is OK at a higher current than the smaller clickies such as Z58. I don't know whether this is true (anyone know the answer?)

The BigLeef tailcap is rated at up to 5A IIRC.

According to Lumens Factory:

"We've killed many SF clickies by using IMR lamp assemblies, so you don't have to. Absolutely no clicky tailcaps with IMR setups".

Also, very good explanations here concerning clickies and high current bulbs (thanks Eric!) -->> https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/235455

Yes, I noted Mark's warning when his IMR LAs came out. There was a certain amount of CYA there - very understandable, as he would not want to be blamed for a lot of fried clickies.

I also saw that thread with md's very good posts - in fact I posted in it myself, saying pretty much the same as I have said above.

I don't really know what current the Z48 can handle. There'll be a "safe" figure" and an "actual" figure, and maybe another for "at your own risk". My guess is those figures are something like 2.5A, 3A and >3A. But I don't have any evidence to back them up - they are pure guesswork.

 

[TaschenlampeMann]

How about a DuraCoated Leef body for my P1D?

 

[Russianesq]

 

[Outdoors Fanatic]

You could play baseball with that thing!! LOL

 

[RGB_LED]

I only have one Leef body... a bare Aluminum 1x18650 body which I have paired to my polished 6PD head and Z59 clicky switch. The SF parts are a bit more shiny than the Leef but they look pretty much stock and match up beautifully.

 

[Meganoggin]

Very very nice.....

 

[Outdoors Fanatic]

That's a beautiful body!

Here is my ex Leef build.

Leef 3 18650 with LED ZEP 3 P7 = 1706 out the front lumens as tested by MrGman.
