got my M4 devastator last night.... truly devastating >>>

[eldopa]

g*dd**n...that thing is bright .. it THROWS a devastating tunnel of warm incandescent light down range with the greatest of ease.. i gotta say that it is my belief that LED light cant touch incandescent light (for now anyways).
the size of this light would be the only down side. i do like the look of a fat bezel with a slim body.. it obviously isnt going in the pocket though.. i have a vltor picatiny mount that fits the light perfectly. it mates to my rifle well. in all honesty, its the perfect light for my needs. it just about baked the paint on my neighbors house last night. for the application of a rifle light it seems imperative that the light throw a spot as far as possible. engagements out past 100 meters would be doable at night with the proper light.
it would be nice to have a low beam, but oh-well..

cheers .. dave

You can put two AW 17670 li-ion batteries in your M4 and use a truckload of SureFire or Lumens Factory lamp assemblies. No mods need, it's completely turnkey. Welcome to the world of Guilty Free Lumens!

By the way, you can use the SureFire difuser or color filter with a low-output lamp assembly, for your lower output with floodier beam pattern needs (which won't hurt your eyes during close range tasks)

those batteries are 3.7 volt each right?? so, a total of 7.2 volts would be achieved as opposed to the 12 volts of the 4 3 volt cr123a's. how will this affect the lumen output??

Plenty of bulbs are made with that voltage in mind, so you just need to use a proper lamp assembly. You'll not use the stock MN60 or MN61 with those batteries.

By the way, two 17670 li-ion batteries deliver 8.4+ volts, not 7.2v (this is only under extreme loads).

You can also remove the head which can be added to the FM Megatropolis body and have a short, sleek M6 if you want. Note the M4 base finning is same diameter as Megatropolis. You need a bipin socket here (which you may want to grab just in case this is the last run), and the megatropolis if they come up for sale. See DM51's shootout that had me get my first M6 here.

the M4 just reminds me of something that can both generate light and beat someone to death with...as with the L7, the only "skinny looking" surefire models available:thumbsup:

i have a vltor picatiny mount that fits the light perfectly. it mates to my rifle well.

I've been looking for a way to mount my M4 to my AR-15. What model mount are you using?

Re: got my M4 devastator last night.... truely devastating >>>

I've been looking forward to getting mine but have to excercise patience and wait until Christmas. Great info regarding rechargeables. I've been looking to get into guilt free lumens and this seems like a fun platform to play with. Thanks folks.

The LumensFactory EO-M3T is a great lamp. I run mine off 2 17670s in my home made M4.
