L1 two cell mod simple put on with KL1/KL4?

boef800 · Sep 14, 2006

First off greetings to all the flashaholics at this great board :thumbsup: as this is my first post here.
I've read about making the L1 body two cell compatible by removing the driver electronics unit from it.What I cannot make up my mind about without owning neither the L1 or a KL head(nor any Surefire product at all yet) is,if it's possible to use an unmodified KL1/KL4 head onto such a modified L1 body?

Hi and welcome to CPF!

I must admit I have never understood the point of trashing a L1 to get a 2 cell body when both E2L and L4 comes with perfectly fine 2 cell bodies. The E2L can take protected 17670 Li-Ion cells, L1 does not take protected Li-Ion cells unless you bore out the body.

Simple answer is NO.
L1 body is too short for 2x123 or 17670 with unmodified KL1/KL4 setup even if you remove the converter unit and partition.
I use my bored L1 body with 2xCR2 and spacer.

Why not just sell the L1 and get a L4 or E2L, depending on what you are looking for ?

what about a pila 150s? it's 1 and 1/2 the length of a 123.

Thanks for all your input.I found the idea somehow neat,having a two stage providing two cell body,all surefire parts and a bit smaller then the standard two cell body as basis for KL1/KL4.
