I have had a SuperLight III # 25/25 for quite some time now.

I really really like the light alot,
Has a cool agressive look to it,
The grip is fantastic,
I like both the reflector and 30mm optic in it,

It has never been used really, and has been a complete shelf queen.
I suppose thats the way it is for alot of them, with only 25 made.
But I tend not to have shelf queens, and generally hate the idea of them.
I want to use this light, even if it means it will see its share of wear.

But I have a few things I want/need to change, if the light is to be truely useful to me.

1. I would like to swap out the Downboy converter with a Wiz2
I pretty much refuse to use Primary cells, and Rechargable 123s arent all that great.
I would like to bore out the body so that I can use all the other Pila and AW cells, along with 18650s

2. I would like the either put a 2 stage kroll on it, or better yet, somehow make a tailcap that uses 2 stage surefire switches.


So, that leads me to this post,
how the heck do I get this thing open?
Anyone have pics of the inside of one?
Any tips would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks
~John

the one lighthound was selling was a "limited run" of 110 using T-bin lux3. the one Jtice has is a run of 25 using probably a U-bin - its a little more exclusive than the one lighthound was (err still is) selling. I almost bought one but became suspicious when the only "4" lights lighthound had has still not been completely sold.

I am not sure why they would make two different lights with the same name :shrug:

Mine has the "Super Grip" body.
