Surefire RIbbed KL1-P7 + Beamshots

[DaFABRICATA]

Haven't been on CPF nearly as much since the weather has gotten better.

I took way too long to get this done...

Hope ya like it Griff :thumbsup:.and sorry for it taking sooo long

Ribbed style Surefire KL1 with the driver removed and replaced with a custom heatsink.
Also replaced the TIR optic with a reflector from Photonfanatic.
The "wall of light it produces is really useful, and bright.

The emitter is direct driven from an AW 3.7 rechargable.
No runtime tests. It gets warm pretty quick.

Beamshots of before and after...

Stock KL1 on 6 volts

KL1-P7 Direct Drive

So, how about that setup in an L1 with IMR16340? =D

Methinks I may have to send Scott another email...

The L1 circuit will underdrive the P7 LED. It will be dimmer than what you see in Dafab's pics.
