Thanks to CPF for helping me build this light.

As you can see by my join date... I have been reading information on CPF for quite a while....but I don't post much, as most of the questions I had, have been answered somewhere...by someone.

It took a long time to get this light together... as the parts came from all over the world... but it is even better than I hoped it would be.

Leef 2X18500, Leefgrip, M2 bezel, LF EO-9, 2 X AW18500, SF Z48.

This is a tough light that I wanted specifically for pitch black conditions while walking and camping in the Highlands and woods of Scotland.

Mdocod's compatibility guide was invaluable... as were the reviews and comments about the LF EO-9 and the M2's overbuilt bezel.

So... thanks CPF :thumbsup: ... and here are some photos of the light.

That's a very handsome light you've built, and as tough as anything available anywhere. The EO-9 is a great LA to choose for it, more than enough for practically any outdoor task. Excellent!

Yes, a very handsome light indeed. An FM64 beam diffuser might come in handy during those camping trips to take the bite off the hot-spot at close range.

If it gets the thumbs up from you... then I reckon I got it right.

Thanks Ray... good idea.

I am planning on attaching an FM64 for some flood ability.

Very cool looking light - nice build.

Hey, what's that super neat pocket holster (to the right on the last pic)?

That's a Sharpshooter pocket sheath... fits in the back pocket of your jeans.

You can get them from www.knivesshipfree.com

I found that my J.Neilson BUK and TAD Lifecapsule fit in it perfectly.

That around what I want:thumbsup:.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I ordered an FM64 from a UK store...and I was expecting this:

But it looks like Surefire have improved the design.

Here is the FM64 installed.

The flood beam with the EO-9 is excellent.

And the latch is much easier to operate than the old design.

Thanks.

Gorgeous light!

Love those Sharpshooter sheath as well... Especially the ones shipped with Bark River knives inside! LOL (I've got a Bravo-II, a Canadian Camp and an Aurora from Derek of Knives Ship Free).

Looks great!

I really like the flip-up diffusers. I have one on my z46 + Leef 2 x 18650 + RPM tailcap set up (which now has green trits). Not as nice looking as your build, but it gets me by.

Hi,

On my LeefGear-HA 2x 18500 I use SureFire Z44-HA Bezel, SureFire Z58-HA Clicky switch and Lumens Factory EO-9 Lamp. I also use the old beam diffuser F24 (the diffuser lens is wider then the new model...). A great thing with this set-up is that when the rechargeable batteries are empty you can use 123A lithium batteries instead without any fuss :twothumbs
