What would happen if you put a KL1 head on a L1?

Remember the L1 has a similar head as the KL1 but its shorter since the electronics are in the body instead of the head. But I'm wondering if it would be possible to put a KL1 head on there. Would it be any brighter since the KL1 on a 1 cell body is rated at 25 lumens and the L1 is rated at 22 on high? I thought about putting a relfector in a KL1 head and putting it on my L1 for fully regulated low. Any thoughts?

Not sure what would happen, but I just tried to see if they would fit physically. They won't. The L1 head screws on the E1L body with no problems, but the KL1 head can barely be screwed on the L1 body. Didn't try firing the L1 head/E1L combo up, though. I assumed something bad might happen!:drool:
