Toothless E2DL

[Nathan]

Just got my E2DL head de-fanged. M I K's work is excellent. For months I had planned to swap bezels with an E1B, but I was afraid to damage potentially two heads. This is so much easier. And easier on the pocket too, both on the material and the little cash I have inside it.

This my new EDC. It runs on a 3.7V RCR123 and outshines my stock E1B by a good 15 to 20%.

Thanks M I K !

MIK if you dont mind me asking what chemicals do you use for your acid dying?

Nice looking light Nathan. Good Job.

 

[Illum]

why not just buy a KX2C? or are they HA only?
Very impressive work you've done there!

Any chance you can turn E2D heads into Exe-BK heads?

KX2C's are available in black and desert brown.
And they're single level only.
And I already have one...

A de-fanged 2-stage E2DL is the optimal combination, IMO.

The KX2C is considerably more expensive also.

Are you using the "Aluminum Black" Dye sold by Birchwood Casey aluminum gun part touch up? This stuff works pretty well for touch up work on anything aluminum if you want to try something else. I wonder what my Ferrich Chloride would do to alum? It makes steel dark grey or black....Will try it on a sample.:thumbsup:

 

[M I K]

That stuff has been out for a long time. I tried it once and it often acted like water. Sometimes it would be ok, sometimes it would be so-so, and sometimes it wouldn't even do anything. I'm not sure why it was so inconsistent.

M I K, so what works for blackening aluminum? :thinking:

Its worked on everything I have ever used it on, but I have never used it on lights before.... Iam sure it works better on some alum alloy's and not as good on other's....

Time for a little bump, being as how I'm still here.

i would be interested to know? so i can look up how the finnish will last?

 

[M I K]

Bump time.

Got mine back from MIK. Great job! The head is like a two-mode KX2C. MIK is a real pleasure to deal with. Thanks again!

 

[M I K]

A nutter bump.

 

[M I K]

Still here.

 

[brunt_sp]

I've got an E2DL on its way. I'll be asking you to de-tooth it please.

Nice of you to do this for the veterans and LEOs for free. Well done!
