[size=+2]EDITED: Price drop to $115 and bias boosted to 667mA. Now kicks the pants off the KL1 below [/size]
Full Disclosure: this shows some signs of carry, as well as some nicks on the 2AA twisty and an un-even machining on the head. Safe queen hunters need not read further But if you want a light that's built like a tank that you intend to use as a work horse, read on:
Now some good stuff. I decided to "modernize" this before selling it. It now sports an SWOH Lux I (highest flux Lux I to date), an IMS 17mm reflector, and the current to the LED was boosted ever so slightly to 390mA for very long run time in regulation. I can boost it higher if you want--just state how much and I'll get it as close as I can get it. I didn't do any higher over drive since it's bright enough as it is and output is almost indistinguishable to a Gen 4 KL1 boosted to 700mA according to ceiling bounce test, with the KL1 having a very slight advantage. Includes 1x123 kroll and 2AA twisty. Beam/tint is VERY nice.
Asking $130 shipped CONUS. Some photos:
uneven machining on head.
Size comparison against kL1/E2e
