Hi everyone.
I just completed my latest project.
I purchased a NEW Surefire L1 and gave it a complete make over (on the inside:naughty: )
Yep the factory LED has been replaced with a top bin 5700k SST-90
.
The factory optic has been removed and has been replaced by a deep 15mm custom mop reflector (factory KL4 reflector is only about 10mm deep).
The driver board was removed from the body and a copper/nylon plug replaced it.
This light is direct drive on a single IMR 16340, and has a 2 mode Low/High twisty tail.
This light provides the elegant look you would expect from Surefire coupled with explosive power of the SST-90. It is both impressive and useful. Its tiny pocket size form makes it easy to carry anywhere. The High mode is great for shocking your friends, while the low mode provides a very useful task light.
The beam of this beauty reaches both far and wide, and is the the smooth soft quality you expect would from Luminus Phlatlight led and MOP reflector. NO donut, just a large hot spot with bright even spill.
The light also maintains the factory belt clip, lanyard ring, lanyard, and for those who may not know all Surefires are type III hard anodized.
Now on with the show
The business end.
Now for some beam shots. For these shots the camera was set with white balance on auto and ISO 80. Lets start with something many of us are familiar with.
First up Surefire 6P
Next Surefire L1 SST-90 on LOW mode
As you can see Low with this light actually means a useful Low.
Now L1 High
What do you say we take this fight out side.
For these next shots I had to up the exposure time a bit because the camera would not pick up the low mode on 80, so WB is still auto and ISO is 400 for these.
First a control shot.
Next Surefire 6p
L1 Low
L1 High
Price is 249$ shipped. SOLD
