How about this one?

Sf-Leef.jpg


1x18650 Leefbody, Leefgrip, Surefire Z44 bezel, Surefire Z48 tailcap & Wolf Eyes Cree drop-in.

I also use this one without the Leefgrip and a Surefire Z58 tailcap when I need something more pocketable or strapped to the handlebars of my bike using a 2fish lockblock when I need a little extra light.

labrat, I have some questions since I'm not so familiar with Surefire lego. Is that a head from a 6P, with an adapter to take an Executive body, and an executive tail cap? Does that mean that batteries can only be loaded from to bezel end? What lamps does it take? I'm guessing P60 because of the P-series bezel. And what was the reason you went with an executive body instead of a 6/9P type body? Is that slimmer? Nice light, BTW! I'm guessing it cost a lot to piece together.
Maybe one day...:broke:

It is a head from a C2/C3, as this one is HA natural.
But the C2/C3 bezels I have all varies quite a lot in tint/darkness of the HA natural anodizing!
xP-heads are all black, no Natural, but I believe else no difference.
The adapter E2C is neccessary here because the LEEF is a 2x18650 E-head and C-tail.
The tail is a LEEF C-tail, HA natural, but very pale colour.
And the batteries goes in from the tail-end.
But you might have seen another of my lights, with an E2E-body, the front-end the same but the tail here a McTc-tail:

Also using a 18650 split-body from Mirage_Man when using a 18650-cell:

And these lights takes the batteries through the front/bezel-end.
An Executive-body is slimmer than the 6/9P body, and thus gives a light with a slim waist and bulging top and "hips".
Sounds familiar?
The C2/C3 bezels/heads takes all D26-lamps/light-engines.
Not that expencive, but takes some luck and time to find the right pieces!
Good luck for you in your search!

Nothin' special. Just my own FrankenLeef.

Leef 2 x 18650 HA Nat body with 6P tailcap and Gen. 1 KL3 with cutdown McR27 now running a Seoul U-bin instead of the TWOH that was in there. (Wow, long time since I've seen TWOK or TWOJ etc. here. Weird.)

This is my favorite setup. I have gone from big lights to little lights and back to big lights. It is very bright and has great runtime. When I want more light I throw on the 6P bezel and the Lumens Factory EO-9.

When I get some $$ I want to add a proper HA tailcap, LeefGrip, and KT2.

DM 51 a couple of questions.
Do you prefer the 18650 or C body on the Turbo head as far as feel in the hand, if comparing #3 to #4? Also how is the run time on #8?
Awesome collection by way.

All those lights have a very nice balance. The Millenium (KT4) head needs a good size body for balance, such as the BigLeef or 3x18650 size. Those 2 BigLeef lights are absolutely superb with the KT4.

The lighter KT2 turbohead is very well-balanced with the smaller 2x18650 and 2x18500 bodies. The 2x18xxx bodies with a WA1111 bulb will give the SF M6/MN21 a good run for its money.

Whether you find them comfortable to hold and use will probably depend on the size of your hands. You might find these comparisons of body diameters useful:
~~ Mag D: 40 mm
~~ BigLeef: 35 mm
~~ Mag C: 32 mm
~~ Leef 18xxx: 25 mm

BTW, I have a gun-metal gray FM3V-2 turbohead which I am currently using on a Mag23. This Fivemega head is the best turbohead available, IMO – it is superb.

It is also a perfect color-match with the gray BigLeef pieces, so that combination would make an exceptionally handsome light, for anyone who wants to try it. You would need the BigLeef Mag-fitting neck to fit that head, rather than the SF 'M' neck, and maybe the A123/Emoli-size BigLeef body sections, depending on what bulb you want to run.
