DigiLight bodies, heads, and clickie tailcaps now available as parts!

Finally, we can buy Digilight tactical heads, bodies, and clickie tailcaps and build the exact light we want! Check out the Digilight parts page at BlackRifles.com. Want a 4x123A body with a 9V lamp? No need to buy an Ultrafire G120 just to get the body. Want a glass-lens'd miniturbohead light? Now you can build one with just the parts you need...without having to buy a tactical-head light.

Thank you, Dan! (And by the way, a 2x123A body and 3.6V xenon lamp would be welcome additions!)

I prefer Digilight's clickie tailcap to my Surefire Z48.

Be advised that Digilight's head is about 0.1 inch wider than Surefire's tactical head and cannot use Surefire's P-compatible filters, diffusers, and traffic wand.

Dan has just lowered prices on Digilight tailcaps ($14.95), heads, and 3- and 4-cell bodies. He's also begun selling their 2x123A body ($14.95) and some Digilight accessories. For everyone wishing to run a 9V lamp ($16.95) in a 4x123A body ($34.95, body only) with a standard head ($13.95) or miniturbo head, you can now build the exact configuration you want at Black Rifles.

Now if BlackRifles could carry G&P's 3.6V G5R lamp, I'd have all the parts to build myself a rechargeable 1-cell miniturbo...

Paul, exciting info! Thanks

Thanks Paul_In_Maryland, for all the great info you have provided on G&P part interchanges.

I found out that the Digilight 9 volt miniturbo head fits on my Surefire L5 (KL5 head and M2 body). It even lights up on just 6 volts. The Surefire L5 body is a "Classic" body with an extra o-ring at the tail to make it an M2 body. That means the 9 volt miniturbo head should fit the Surefire C3's with no problem. I wonder what the beam shots would look like between a C3 with a P91 @ 200 lumens, C3 with the miniturbo head G90 HP @ 175 lumens, and with a KT2 head @ 105 lumens. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the advertised run times of the both the G90 HP and KT2 are 1 hour, the P91 is 20 minutes.

Dollars per lumens means: P91 @ 200 lumens = $27 List price.
KT2 @ 105 lumens = $106 List price
Miniturbo 9 volt head w/bulb @ 175 lumens = $37 List price

The KL5 head will not thread on fully on the T9 body because of the non-threaded section that extends beyond the threads on the KL5 head.

I've started an Excel table but sort of abandoned it for a week. Patience will be rewarded...

I have compared the first two configurations you've named. The P91 put out a wall of bright light. The 175-lumen G&P lamp in the miniturbo head threw somewhat better than the tactical version, but the beam was still, at heart, a general-purpose beam that would not thrill a "throw seeker." The 12V G120 in a miniturbo did reach out a bit farther than a Streamlight TL-3, but only in its very center.

After I criticized Wolf Eyes for claiming that its miniturbo doubles the throw of its lamps, the company has scaled back its claim to state that improves throw by about one-third. I would guess that that would be a valid estimate for the G&P miniturbo as well.

Interesting, I've always wanted to build my own customized flashlight

Say, will the Digilight clicky tailcap fit an oldstyle round body SF 6P?

too bad they were late, lol, i could have built a digilight for about the same as I spend on an ultrafire 12v and having to buy a G90 separatally. oh well.... i'm sure i'll be *forced* to build more flashlights later on... ehe

I'll have to let a Surefire expert weigh in on that. It's my understanding that tailcap fit hasn't changed in the Surefire P lineup, but I could be wrong.

What's up with our resident Surefire guru, Size 15s? I haven't seen a post from him in some time.
