I bought an old model Surefire LED head with a green LED here on the forums a while back. It had the same flood type optics as the original KL1. I put it on an E2E body and it worked fine for a few weeks. Then it stopped working. I sent it back to Surefire. They replaced it with a newer model head with an optic like the new model KL1. It would throw like crazy. It looks exactly like a KL1 except it is about 1/16" shorter. I again put it on an E2E body. I also used it on an E1E sometimes and it worked fine also. Anyway, it stopped working so I called Surefire and got Trevor on the phone. I explained to him what happened and had me do some trouble shooting by using a key to ground the battery to the body back where the tailcap goes. During the trouble shooting he discovered that I was using an E2E body and he told me that the L1 head would not work on the E2E body. I told him it worked fine until it stopped. He said the L1 body has a "power module" in the body that the L1 head required to work. I thought the body was just an aluminum tube and all the brains were in the head. He said "no", the L1 head must be used only on a L1 body. The he proceeded to tell me that I didn't know what I had. I told him I knew exactly what I had and asked to talk to technical support. He said he was technical support. I asked for PK. Trevor then suggested that I send some email photos of the head so he can figure out what it is that I have like I don't know an L1 head from shinola. Does the L1 body really have a power module in the body? Doesn't the L1 head work on either 3 volts or 6 volts? Could me running the head on an E2E body have burned up the head? Whats the deal here? HELP!!!
