Pocket lights with 1000 lumen emitters? Only 3 left.
Tired of a different shape but same flavor? You'll get thinking-out-of-the-box with a 15-3VG. That's 15W, 3-cells in the size of a Mini-Maglite. Premium 1000 lumen Ostar emitter, 4-modes, runs on 3xCR123A/RCR123 and if you are caught with your pants down then lowly 2xAA alkaline's will work and still give 100 lumens. All the goodies are stored in the head so you can play Surefire Legos. For stealth mode try using the Surefire L4 body.
I wanted to let people know that a titanium barrel can not be used as well as shutting down in high mode as it's for short bursts. The aluminum alloy body is important for heatsinking. And these modified KL4's are seconds that have very small marks from having a tough time opening them to mod.
I need to sell these at $700.00 each which includes express shipping fees and PP fees. These will be the last three ever sold due to the complexity of this mod. PP address: arcmania (at) hotmail (dot) com
Guaranteed to please. First post and PP are first served.
This is from the first owner.
Firstly I am going to admit to being an absolute idiot. I was so anxious to try it out I loaded it with 3 "fresh" batteries I had to hand.
Well I was absolutely amazed. The beam is a fantastic white out of light. I tried it from the bedroom window and it lit up the whole garden. That has always been my test. Those throw monsters have a great wow factor, but for someone who uses a light every day I want to be able to see what is around me. And this light performs. I compared it to a trusty overachiving U2 and it wipped the floor with it.
I was thrilled. Then I rememberd that it had higher levels and that Mike set it to the lowest. I searched the site but could only find a mention of this. I thought I must be mistaken. So after flicking on and off forever I realised I was right. I wrote a quick email to Mike and asked if I recalled correctly. He confirmed that there were other levels. THEN IT DAWNED ON ME. The batteries I had put in were nearly dead. OMG I had just lite the whole garden on flatish batteries.
I put fresh ones in.......and clicked away. On the highest level it not only lit the garden, but the next doors and the field at the side of me. 44 Acres lit up by one torch. Foxes, owls and a muntjac deer all shocked by being thrown into day light. I really am not exagerating, this is the most special yet.
It has an the quality of both throw and spill. A perfect ballance.
Mike you have surpased yourself. In the email he stated that he was most proud of this light. Well for those that have one coming, you are in for quite a surprise.
The build quality is perfect. Clean and understated. There is nothing flashy. No, chrome, nickel, Ti plated, polished, anaodised, rainbow, glitz/ It looks like a KL4 on a slightly longer body. That is until you turn it on...then you really do own the night.
Mike, if you read this.......you have every right to be proud. There is nothing that can beat it.
