Hey cy, how about taking that 3P body, adding a Detonator cell extender and a KT1/KT2 turbohead with 2 X R123 li-ion supplying the juice to one of ARC mania's SF TH modules? One of the guys posted a pic of this setup and it looked like one awesome little photon cannon.

get a KL5 head and use a R123 and you got a 100 lumens in a tighter throwing beam than the TW4.

I want one, doesn't mean I can afford one.

3P is looking more and more attractive. I removed the plastic reverse polarity protection gizmo so does not put too much tension on cells. Got to be very careful about polarity, though.
270winchester is right about KL5, particulary if you have a low vf lux V, and your circuit is setup for boost only.

Dad's mint 3P for $90 is a real deal!
what makes 3P so atractive for modding is it will take a 3watt dropin and R123 li-ion with no changes. and body is thick enough to bore out for 18650 or 150A
unlike E1/2 series, which require a whole new LED head assembly. like KL4 and/or KL1, which are excellent lights!
but is changing form factor...
here's pic of 3P w/6P bezel..

Yeah, giving me ideas too. Gotta admit, the 3P hasn't gotten much use for years.

Hi Cy.
I'd be happy with a 1W in my 3p, but a 3W would be great! which do you recommend? I would run it on regular ol' 123s, I get 'em from work. Do they have enough ommph to run the drop-ins?
Thanks

sorry not familiar with one watt dropin modules. what really counts is what type board is driving luxeon.
my 3watt dropin module will run 1x CR123, but at aprox. 50% output. it really prefer to run on R123 li-ion. this indicates a buck board is being used.
R123 cost $3-4 ea, chargers are pretty expensive too. then you get guilt free lumens...
