Question about LPS SRTH.

[Lion]

http://www.lagger-pro.com/hd3t.htm
I`m highly interest in this SRTH,
but I want to change the Lexan Lens
into Pyrex.

Does anyone ever tried?
or LPS can do? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Thanks.

I seriously doubt you can modify the SRTH to a glass lens.
It has no retaining ring - the Lexan lens is push-in snap-fit.

After a serious discuss,I already know it`s a stupid question...OTL

And finally after all these months I understand what the SRTH is. Before I shoot myself in the foot, I need to confirm, the SRTH is NOT an official SF product (I assumed it was a codename for no longer produced turboheads). It's a third party conversion developed by LPS. Does it use SF lamps, and if so, is that the normal P9x/P6x series or (unlikely) MN series?

The SRTH is an official product from SureFire! I am not sure though if the recombination LPS did was intended by SureFire or if LPS bought some overstock and sold them as what we see now: Hybrid Turbohead.

From my understanding it is the same bezel used on some 12PM/ZM lights as some of them weren't shipped/sold with the threaded T62, also a 2,5" Lexan turbohead. I am not sure if the threaded T62 was released prior,at the same time or after the non-threaded 2,5" Turobhead though.

Of course it uses SF lamps, you can use any Turbohead LA for it, only make sure to use the correct number of cells!
N1-6V
N2,MN15,MN16-9V
MN60,MN61,N62-12V

AFAIK, its a discontinued Surefire Turbohead, originally supplied with the 12PM/ZM. It takes the SF turbohead lamps, like the N1,N2,N62, MN15/16 etc.

Out of all the Turboheads i own, its my favourite by a country mile. Smaller, lighter with a tighter beam than the KT series.

That I'm aware of, the SRTH has never been part of the 12PM or 12ZM, or the L120M LeopardLight Lamp Module.

The SRTH was created by SureFire specifically for, and at the request of, LPS and designed for the N1/N2 Lamp Assemblies.

The T-62 (12PM/12ZM) TurboHead Bezel was designed specifically for the N62 Lamp Assembly.

If the 12PM/ZM/L120M had the 2,5" Lexan turbohead with threading called T-62, what's the turbohead called several of the 12ZM/PM's come with that doesn't have the thread attachment for the filters?

 

[Size15's]

I was never convinced that the 12PM without the T-62 (but with the SRTH) was an off-the-shelf product since I don't know anybody who has one from new in box... But even if they were, I'm certain it was just a few, and they were shipped that way due to shortage of the T-62.
For example, I've also seen a 12PM with a "T" 3" diameter TurboHead that the person swore was "stock".

Regardless, the SRTH is a really cool bit of kit!

The 12ZM I bought in the U.S. was sealed in it's bag and boxing and didn't have a T-62, the used L120M I got, did have the T-62. Several of the 12ZM's I've seen on ebay didn't have the threading.

I have a different theory which includes the fact that the IR-filters that were available were extremly expensive and I have never even seen a picture of one. Maybe at one point of time the threadded bezel was replaced by the simpler one? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

K-T, you could be right.

 

[K-T]

It's only a wild guess without any knowledge as background. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

 

[astrogrub]

K-T's guess seems logical. I have three 12ZM's and one 12PM.
The earliest 12ZM has the threading the other two don't and both of those came nib, albeit opened. I can't tell w/the 12PM 'cause its still in the sealed box.

 

[KevinL]

Hmm.. does anybody have pics of the 12ZM and the 12PM? What's the difference between the two? Turbohead?

I'm guessing that these are 12V 4 cell systems..

12ZM has the combat grip.
You can view it from an old page of a surefire distributor

Sasha, sorry for my ignorance. Consider this as my 1st and last offense /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

johnny... please remove the image from your post. A link to the image is fine but "hotlinking" like that is discouraged here on CPF unless you personally own the website that is "hotlinked". Thanks much! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

 

[kakster]

My 12PM also came with the SRTH.

This makes sense since the BeamFilters for the threaded TurboHead were never released so it would make sense that that TurboHead would be phased out. The SRTH was the only 2.5" diameter TurboHead at the time.
