T or U-Bin @ 1000mA KL3 : any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I have a KL3 module which I find exellent. As a real thrower, it has almost no sidespill, but WHAT a THROW !!!!!

To get about a 50m throw with only 20 lumens shows how tight the beam is. This TIR optic is really great!

Now, I found myself thinking: what about the same light equiped with a T or U binned led, driven @ high current? It would be quite a challenger even for bigger D mags. All this in a compact, nice finish and tough package.

What do you think about it? Do you think it would be possible to achieve this mod?

edit: dang! I should have posted this in "custom and modified". Sorry :sweat:

sure if one were to open it up replace the luxeon, and tweak or replace the circuit.

I'm curious that if at 1000ma the TIR can beat a Mag reflector at 1000ma...

What is the KL3 driven at stock?

1000 seems alittle high, and may not be worth the extra battery drain,
but about 750mA would be nice.

I have been wanting a KL3 to go with my KL5,
but the lack of spill is making me think I wont like it.
But, if it was a killer thrower, I would jump on it.
So, I am interested in this mod also

Has anyone compared the KL3 to the Inova T4?
They have similar beams, and I would like to know how my T4 stacks up against the KL3.

oh, BTW, I really dont see this mod being able to throw like a LuxIII mag, they can hit 10,000 Lux.
