[lumafist]

Hi all...!

I want to see your M3 builds and mods of different variations.....
I`m thinking about getting one of these and doing a stubby version and need some inspiration....:thumbsup:

Thanks...!





If this is in the wrong section I`m real sorry...
Thinking I want to see collections but also mods...

Hey, Lumafist .... is your gonna go for something like DaFabricata, grab one of Fivemegas 2 x 18650 bodies. They are on sale in BST.
While your at it maybe grab his D26 socket and reflector set up with a FM1794 as well.
Im thinking about going for that set up but I'll let you try it out first. Then you can tell me how good it is


EDIT .... like the new avatar, looks like something Bruce Lee would have on his T-shirt

Here is build.

It uses a Old school KL2,but it is the same size and look as the M3 head.
The mod of the KL2 was done by Mike Jordan,who machined the head internals and cut down a McR38 to fit inside.
Emitter of choice was the SSC U2,not sure about the Bin.But it is warm tinted.

The light has a 3 Level Converter with Low,Med,High.
It can use the original battery configurations.
Currently it is mounted on a M2 body and use a SW02 in the butt :

Sorry about the crappy photos..

Well, I feel a "one-cell urge".....
not a fan of big things...
And it will probably be a LED in there...
Or a few...


OT: My new avatar is the closest I can get to "lumafist".....:mecry:
I`m not to good at drawing stuff.....

Hey Benny...!

The KL2 is up there with the M3 in my world and I could just as easily get one of those and mod that...!
Very nice...!

@TX

I saw that and I`m just waiting for paycheck to get it...
If it`s not gone by then...
But it`s certainly the tailcap of my choice......

What are you looking for in the M3 build?
Here is a KL2 I made a while back..

WOW that is just what I NEED.

Wish I could just send you an M3 head! Minus the CF, Cree for the reflectored LED.

I'd sell off more stuff to afford it!

1.) KL2/M3 with 3x SSC P4 (works with 2x CR123 or 1x 17670) - ~325 lumens

2.) M3T with 8x SSC P4 (works with 3x CR123 or 2x 17500) - ~848 lumens:devil:

[blitzlicht65]

Both lights have an Acorn driver with four levels.
