Around eighteen months ago I traded my SF Kroma to milkyspit for another modded light. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that he still had my Kroma, but had modded it lightly... by adding a Seoul P4. Before you can say "Red-White-Blue LEDs" I arranged to purchase it back. It is dubbed the "Kromagnum."
The Seoul transplant completely changes the Kroma's "personality." It now puts out somewhere in the region of 200 lumens (my estimate), and the optic works wonderfully with the new LED. milkyspit mentioned that he shimmed the LED for the optimum focus, and it worked. The beam pattern is white and at a distance of 20'+ it is broad and bright, something of a wall of light (very little hot spot, with a nice even, bright spill). The low is still quite low, almost ideal for use when walking or hiking. The colored LEDs work as before, with a low/high blue and red.
This is an early Kroma and sports a "Patent Pending" body. Kind of neat. A long time ago I added an M2 rubber grip, and milkyspit added an OregonShooter tactical tailguard.
Here are a couple of (bad) pics (my good camera is at my other house) of it alongside a few other toys. I've also included a couple of backyard beamshots to compare it to a 240 or so lumen milkyspit CreeMator.

If deemed of enough intrinsic value, this can be placed in the Reviews forum, if desired.
