recommend a KL4 mod

[cruisemissile]

anyone recommend a good KL4 mod that won't break the bank?
I don't want to do it myself.
any stories or recommendations would be appreciated.

Let's bump this as i too have the same questions/needs.
Any info on this would be great.

I have done a search and frankly the info was a little overwhelming .

The P7 and MC-E work well for an upgrade.

Heres a KL4 with a P7 I did a while back.
I have done about 5 KL4-P7 mods with great results.
The P7 gives more of a hot-spot with flood.

I also have done 3 KL4's with Cree MC-E's
The beam is more floody with not as much hot-spot as the P7.
The MC-E is very much brighter than the stock LUX V.

Gentlemen, thank you for posting this info.
DaFABRICATA, your work looks good.
Would i be crazy in wanting something a little less hot-rodish, say maybe a SSC P4 that would run on primaries?
What i'm trying to say is that i like my L4 but i would like to update it to a more modern LED with a Novatac 120 type of tint while retaining decent runtimes and good thermal management.

Thanks in advance for any follow up.

ditto on respect for Dafabricata, nice work.
I also wouldn't mind something with decent runtimes.

I recently picked up a P7 KL4 and I love it. It's deceivingly bright, the light just keeps on going when you shine it far away. :thumbsup:

where did you get it?

...retaining decent runtimes and good thermal management....

I'm in the same boat. I have one of the first L4s and wouldn't mind getting it upgraded. Either get more runtime and a cleaner flood or super bright white light with the same runtime.

I love the warm & very even flood from the Zebralight H501W, it also doesn't have to be any brighter than that for me (80 Lumens).
Anyone with any suggestions on who could best modify my KL4 to do that, and what the runtime would be on one R123 Li-Ion battery?
What would be a fair price for a mod like that?
