Looking to turn a Sniper into a Rattlesnake!

[Kraid]

I have a Wolf-Eyes Sniper with the Q5 drop-in, but I also bought an 18650 extender so I can run a Lumens Factory E0-9 (380 Lumens) on 2x 18650s.

So now I'm thinking about getting another extender and a Turbo Bezel for my Sniper and running a 13V Lamp on 3x 18650s. Will this work? Will two extenders function together? Are there any other complications I'm overlooking?

Or what about a turbo bezel/13V Lamp Assembly and 3x AW RCR123As in a Raider?

Also, I only received the E0-9 last night and found out that the built-in outer spring had to be removed completely for the bezel to even screw down. Then there was electrical connection, so using some dollar store copper wire I wrapped around the outside of the LA and up and over the copper plate. Now I have a ghetto, but functional connection. I thought LF assemblies were meant to fix Wolf-Eyes without modding?

OK, Sniper and first extender would need a metal ring between them to complete the connection. Two extenders work together without the metal ring. Sniper and two extenders will work with Turbo bezel (in theory, I have not tried this) and D36 EO-13 lamp. This would be the same as a Rattlesnake with one extender and D36 EO-13.......The Sniper with one extender and normal bezel will work with the D26 EO-9 lamp......Forget about using 3x RCR123 cells with the D36 EO-13 lamp, bad idea.......The LF lamps are designed to work with lights such as WE without any modifications, they are supplied with the large outer spring only to be used in Surefire lights, simply remove this spring for use in WE lights......hope this helps.

You may find the Wolf Eyes Lego thread useful, if you have not already seen it.

Thanks for all the help! I'm glad to hear that this should work! I definitely had to wrap some copper wire around the LA though. It wouldn't touch the inside of the light otherwise.

um... I don't think LF lamps will fit in the standard WE turbo bezel. The one that comes on the M90 is bigger and has room for the oversized LF lamps. (unless LF changed the design?)

You may be right, had a look in PTS website and did not see the LF D36 lamps in the "accessory" section of the WE Explorer light, looks like it will only fit the WE D36 lamp. Normally if the LF lamps fit then they are listed.

mdocod is correct. The LF D36 lamp assemblies will only fit in the M90 bezels. I found this out buying a Raider with a turbo bezel just to find out it did not work with the LF D36.

Will a M90 head fit on a Sniper body?

The M90 head does not come off, it is part of the body, only the front part/bezel can be unscrewed to change the lamp.
