Who do you guys think will be the first company to produce (regular production quantities) a K2 based flashlight?
My guess is Surefire. My other guess is that they will announce it at the shot show.
What are your guesses?

Absence of info about the bin and Vf (especially) are quite inconvenient.

For my own planned mod (3 x Nimh AAs Direct Drive), the nominal voltage is around 3.6v. If I get a K or L Vf bin, it won't really be bright. I'm hoping for a J bin perhaps.

Surefire LED 2 cell or more lights need not worry about Vf bins that much if they are using a "Downboy" type convertor.

But for the e1e + LED head, I imagine the Vf is important? The single Li-on happens to fall at 3.7v nominal voltage and if the convertor was a step down but the K2 was 3.99v, it's not gonna work. Or if it was a step-up and the K2 was 3.42v Vf, it wouldn't work either.

But I guess SF convertors are the 'smart' type that auto-detect the voltage difference and adjusts accordingly.

P/S I hope I'm making sense. I'm not even sure if I have my facts right. Haha...

I wonder if a K2 version of the Gladius might be possible. Night Ops wants to be a hit and a K2 Gladius would sure get some attention.
