The only two 12volt lamps are the MN60 & MN61 which are designed for the KT4 turbohead.
Meaning that you can't run this combo.

There is one other lamp - the N62 which is designed for the 12PM/12ZM TurboHead.

The KT1 or KT2 TurboHead screw onto standard SureFire bodies and I believe will screw ontot the E2C adapter.

The MN60/MN61/N62 can be used in the KT1/KT2 TurboHead.

I think it will work with a KT1 head just put the MN60 in it. I will try it when it gets here. I have run the MN60 in a 6P and 2 A19's no problemo.

Thank you all for the answers, now I have 3 lamps, MN60 at 225 lumen, the MN61 at 350 lumens and the MN 62 at 500 lumen probably with a run time of 7 minutes and not constant at that.
(I could be wrong with the figures, so anybody who knows different, please correct me)
I will probably will go with the MN61 at 350 lumens, but I need the output of peopple with experience, what about overheat in the thin E Balrog body??
Anybody knows how much run time I can get out of the 4 batteries and the MN61??
Will this conversion be feasible and comparable to the M-4??

Thank you guys!!

JuanC.

My guess is it will be like a skinny M4 so I think it will heat up faster. I can hardly wait to find out!

I'm doing the same thing with a BE4-BK. Only difference, I'm using a 3" T-Head, to keep the weight down. I think it will have better balance too. I'm going to use the MN60 (225 lumens), because I'm a cheap %#$@?$%.

Sorry, but what is a Turbo Head? All I could figure is it's a fat head.

SureFire TurboHeads are larger diameter bezels with wider and deeper reflectors that produce tighter, more intense beams for longer distance illumination compared to standard bezels.

SureFire TurboHead "Kits" are available for most models of SureFire, and some models feature TurboHeads as standard.

For example, the TurboHead in the photo above is a KT1-BK featuring the N1 Lamp Assembly and it fits on any standard body SureFire powered by two SF123A batteries.

Or, a model that comes standard with a TurboHead is for example, the M900AB:
