kl4 mods

I have 2 l4's and I want to mod one of the kl4 heads I like the stock "wall of light" but I need it to be brighter, what would you suggest?
thank you

I suggest something like this!

3 X Seouls in a KL4.

Just upgraded to a P4 or K2-T emitter makes it quite a bit brighter, you can keep the stock reflector.

Just upgraded to a P4 or K2-T emitter makes it quite a bit brighter, you can keep the stock reflector.

But make sure you only use a single 123 since the L4 uses a boost converter. Using 2x123's will probably smoke the LED and/or circuit. A single 17670 will probably work (maybe overdrive it a bit) but it will be bright.

the K2-T sounds like a good fit, the dimensions are the same as the V if I'm not mistaking, what about runtime? and if I do a cree are the dimensions the same as the V? next, what if I completly redone the entire head? what driver and led would be sufficient and should I change out the reflector to a joker 20?

I would say do a driver/emitter swap with a Seoul, with a Cree you would likely lose the wall of light due to it's rather narrow emitting pattern.

Dafabricata did that mod himself. It's much more impressive in person. The KL4 was always a wall of light. His is more like the great wall of China

[DaFABRICATA]

Yes, I did the mod myself. It only took me a few hours to complete.
It is exactly a huge wall of light!
I liked the fact that I could illuminate an entire room evenly. The flood is great and it inspired me to build another light using 4 bare Seouls and one with a reflector for a defined hotspot in a KL2. Heres a link....

I clicked into it as the latest post in CPF Custom Builders and Modders butt but if I click into CPF Custom Modders and Builders this Kl4 thread does not exist??? This is what I see at the top of my screen.....

I have never seen Kl4 as a sub category under CPF Custom Builders and Modders Is there a secret CPF I don`t know about cause ya`ll are hiding it from kenster? Can`t blame ya! Hehe!

Thanks,
Ken

*EDIT*
Nevermind but by the lack of threads and posts I believe I am not the only one that didn`t know about this existing.
