The L2 has a dumb head void of electronics that are in the body of the flashlight ... whereas the L4 sports the KL4 head that has all electronic stuff on-board and can be transered to other E-Series compatible platforms ... while the L2 head cannot. At least it cannot be used properly, meaning in regulation.

Excellent!! Thanks for the help!
You're welcome 
There once was an "error" light that made it through QC at SF ... it was a L2 head on L4 body ... and people used it (knowingly) with 2 x Li-Ion cells for a blinding brightness in direct drive modus without regulation. It was overdrive for the poor LED.

The KL1 comes on the E1L correct??
Anyone know the cheapest place to buy a KL4?

Lately, quite a few KL4s, L4s and the likes cropped up in the B/S/T section. KL1 i thinks throws further than KL4 but KL4 gives more output and floodier than the KL1. This comparison was also mentioned in a different thread. Just bear in mind that KL4 could not take 2 x R123 3.7v cells, but 3.0v primaries are ok. KL1 no problem with 2 x R123 3.7v.

Wouldn't that be an L1 head on an E2L body? Running a Luxeon V on a pair of CR123A cells isn't really that much overdrive at all. People used to run Space Needles (Lux V on 3x CR123A) all the time.Kiessling said:
edit: A little research show the "Error" E2L was an L2 head on the E2L body. So, I guess I'm half right. Since the E2L body is the same thing as the L4 body (only with different markings), I guess Kiessling is completely correct. Regardless, I still stand by my comment that 2x CR123A doesn't seem like much overdrive for a Lux V.
