Today I am selling another unique gem out of my collection.
The light started it's live as one out of just 17 produced Gatlight V1 SS
I modded the light with black hex-screws of a Gatlight V2 as well as with a downturned MCR aluminium reflector with a glass window in front.
I also mounted a modern lightengine with a CREE XP-G R5
The driver has three stages: 3 OTF lumen, 40 OTF lumen and 180 OTF lumen
So this is the brightest Gatlight ever :)
But the really outstanding part is the 6-Trit switch replacing that crappy original twisty.

I am asking ($777) ($666) ($555) $500 including international shipping registered mail for this light what is far below my costs.

And here are the pictures:

Thanks for looking !

Very nice Gatlight. However saying it is the brightest Gatlight ever is not correct unless you are saying it is the brightest V1. V3 Gatlights were 270 Lumens.

You are right, the V3 was brighter, but I do not know if the V2 was such bright at all.

Yes, Toby, it is a clicky now using this electronic 6-Trit KuKu switch.
Also the problem old Gats had with a current emptying the cell even when switched off is gone with this mod ;-)
Getting through the different modes with a twisty would be quite annoying :)

I must say, this is an amazing light, but with the modifications, it is very sweet! If only I hadn't just picked up a Mini Velo for the upcoming semester.

Best of luck on the sale, this is the one to snag guys!
