I am offering this lightly modded L1. It has a stock tailcap, a stock KL1 head (mostly), stock driver, but I changed out the LED to a Nichia 219c at 4,000k, 90+ CRI. The light is so much happier now. I'm not sure if this is gen5 or 6, but the body is from the later batches.
This is definitely a lego, because I don't think the KL1 ever lived on an L1. That's fine, because I removed the driver from the KL1 and kept the unique 2-stage driver that makes the L1 so handy. Because this is a stock SF driver, I'd suggest running 3v cells only. As with the stock head, the hotspot is squarish up close.
I made a brass assembly for the electron flow, that houses the board with the spring. The middle part of the KL1 head, that normally holds both the driver and LED has been lathed out for the brass assembly and for a standard 16mm Noctigon MPCB, thermal epoxied into place.
Price drop: ~~WITHDRAWN~~ $95 (my one and only price drop, otherwise I'll just keep it) $108, paypal g&s, shipped free in the contiguous 48 states. No trades, first "I'll Take It" post wins over any PM communication in progress.
The tailcap and body are in excellent shape, can't see any scratches/ missing anodization. The head is more of a user, with a couple of dings on the edge of the bezel. It has some light staining from the torching process to get the head apart.
And no, the zippo ain't included
Business end, you can see the strip of blue glow I placed around the emitter.
The other end
Size reference
