Does anyone know if there is a way to use a Turbo head on a SureFire M2 with a higher output lamp assembly without attempting to add another cell, or is there a part # that I am missing?

The TurboHead that fits on the M2 is the KT1-HA.
The KT1-HA has the N1 Lamp Assembly (65Lu/60min)
The KT1-HA is NOT shock isolated.
There is no High Output Lamp Assembly (HOLA) for the two cell TurboHead models. There never will be.
I am sorry to be so blunt but there it is.
The M3T is the way to go in my opinion.

nah...if you're going to spring for an M3T, save up a bit more and get an M6 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif to me a flashlight is as large as its widest point, so the increase girth of the M6's body is of no consequence (to me at least) and the increase in brightness would be well worth it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
can you tell the M6 is next on my wish-list? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

There is a place and application for every SF.
I do know M3T is one of the finest SF lights I have, the only thing I don't like, is the beam shape....

Even with the N2 lamp?
I personally like the MN16 lamp.

The turbo head would only be for occasional use, so I wish it were as easy as trading up my M2 for an M3 and buying a separate Turbo head for it so I still have options.
I feel I would rather get the M3 and add the turbo head later rather than get the M3T b/c I know I would have instances where I would need the "skinny" head. Also, I have the P61 lamp in my M2 rather than the P60 for the sheer light output. The M3 could effectively replace the M2 since I only need the turbo head occasionally and would get better run time from it on the M3.
By this point, I'm sure I will have spent the same scratch as if I were to just buy an M6 though and I would not be tempted to carry it as well and I would hopefully be satisfied and concentrate more on my EDC since the M2/M3/M6 are for emergency/backup situations almost exclusively.
Thank you! I will keep an eye out for more advice. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif
