I think it fits M3 and M4. Up to 12v only.

M6 holds 6 CR123's. That's 18v. I've heard that KL6 isn't made to handle that.

For me, the best configuration is fit the KL6 into M3 (same as L6) and put 3 RCR123's.. about 11,1v

Just my 2 cent.

A custom turbohead LED module from ARC Mania works great in an M6. That is if you want to go custom. Otherwise its the KL6.

The KL6 is a bit wasted on the M6 body in my opinion since the M6 body has so much more to give...

Is it worth it to put a KL6 on my M6? does it produce anything near the brightness of the MN20 bulb? I have thought about buying one of these LED heads but wasnt sure if it is worth it?

How long do you think it'll run? I'm getting the AWR M6-R 3300mAh battery pack (soon I hope)

I think investing into a LED is for loger runtime and batteries that wont be driven as hard as incan

Your runtime will be amazing. I love my L6 and having 6 batteries behind it for runtime vs the 3 I have now would make it that much better.

Please tell me that the L6 head will not work work with (3) RCR123 batteries. I had decided not to purchase it but if it will work with rechargeables, then I might be up @#$%'@ creek without a paddle... I will be forced to buy it:rant:

O.K., my question is: Will the L6 work on the M3 with (3) x RCR123 batteries = 12.6 volts fresh off the charger?

Two posters above say it is ok with the M4 which is a 4-cell (12V) light, so it should be fine with 3 R123s, hot off the charger.
