Surefire L4...I LOVE it. (w/Beamshots)

[RobertMM]

Anybody remember how much current the LED sees on the KL4?
I'm thinking direct emitter swap on the 120 or 170 lumen SSC model.

Maybe a XPL will bring its performance up to date.

I have the one Quickbeam reviewed when he was active in our community. I also have a mod with a 4 die emitter, XML?. Can't remember the specs but I think it was a floody 300 lumens or so.

L4 is re really nice. A wall of light that I will be
happy with.

Same question here... anyone knows the specs of the stock driver? What's the current rating? 0.9A, 1A,......?

An XPL might be an overkill. Was told you'll need about 1.5A to run efficiently. So for emitter swap I'd hang on to XPG2 or Nichia 219C...

Question is, what's the most effective way of adopting a Sandwich Shoppe driver into the KL4 assy setup? What other components should I need to acquire (eg. a custom heatsink or something)?

Might be good to use the Seoul P4 L4 for mods. It comes stock with a buck driver.
The original L4 came with a boost driver. Gets real hot after a few minutes. I am sort of a KL4 lover with it's stock Lux5.
