EDC with good flood?

liteMANIAC · Jun 29, 2006

I have a Fenix L1P and a HDS 42 but would prefer to have a EDC with more of a flood beam. I know that I read in some threads that the firefly3 has a floody beam. What others are there with a floody beam that are no bigger than a HDS?

KL4 head

The Surefire L4 has the same diameter lens as the HDS and about 1 1/2" longer, also about 100 lumens output "wall of light". I EDC mine daily......

I EDC an L4 but a nuwai 301-5 is almost as bright less than 1/2 the cost and just as floody.I own both.

What Maycooper said, but with an R123 so it can run in regulation

thx penguin...

Thanks for the suggestions,

To get the KL4 head and e1L body do I have to buy two flashlights and put them together, or are they sold together somewhere? Is it possible to make it a two stage flashlight? Can it tailstand? Whats the expected runtime on rcr123s?

You can get a 1x 123A cell body from the Sandwich Shoppe. The Aleph series bodies will fit the E series Surefires. Check here:

OOPS! My bad; they are currently sold out. :awman:

The FF3 and the HDS are about identical beam patterns. HDS makes two different diffuser lenses for their lights. I think the optical effciency on the HDS diffusers is still pretty high.

KL4 and bodies are sold seperately by lighthound. E1x body will need a different tailcap to stand, but vital gear will tailstand without mods I believe...

A Surefire F04 beam diffuser will fit on the HDS lights. I have one on a KL1 head and it gives a really nice flood. If you have the newer style clip or no clip it will fit and also functions as an anti-roll device.

AW also had custom HDS beamshapers cut from eyeglass lenses that might suit your needs.
