I have been collecting the pieces for this light for more than a year and finally got it put together. I have tried a number of different reflectors and they either didn't fit well in the head or gave a poor beam. The beamshot picture looks a little better than it does in real life, but the hot spot is not perfectly centered and loses intensity on one side. It looks like I didn't quite get the emitter centered on the star when I soldered it. The tint is also a little green.
Surefire KL2 head
Leef M head C tail 18650 body
RPM clickie tailcap
Osram reflector - bought it from MAC, don't know which model
MC-E on a parallel star
DD - no driver
The KL2 has a heatsink in the head that has a hole in it. It is a little hard to describe, and I didn't take a picture of it before assembly. The star sits on this, and the reflector has the three legs that lock into the star. The head goes back together without any modifications, and the lens holds everything very snug. I shaped a piece of aluminum to fill in the hole in the heatsink and to give the star a solid base.
I am going to get a new emitter with a warmer tint and see if I can do a better job of centering.
