Get full 135 lumens of the L2D in the L1D package with ALL modes working!!! Body bored to accept Primary CR123 and spacer OR single AA.
I will check on viability for R123's if I get a few test cells or at least some VERY accurate measurements of widely used Rechargeable 123's
The Situation right now will be sending YOUR body in for machining till more bodies are available, and then I could do it as a core or straight up purchase.
I like this aspect better than a separate 123 body as this allows me to use AA's as well as the light doesn't change lengths.
This mod leaves a supporting surface of a bit over 1/2 inch at the bottom to keep the dummy and/or a Full AA centered.
A couple concerns some may have:
An O-ring on the AA might help for those that would like a more secure battery but I find the spring keeps it well centered.
And the front edge is now smaller so there is more pressure on the contact ring, but I rarely use the mode adjustment so it does not concern me, I also do not Jam it down and I polished the surface with 600 then 1000 grit wet or dry paper to make sure there is no roughness. (with over 300 cycles I fond no excess wear)
The dummy is made from 6061 with a wide button to allow as much contact as possible with the 123 and has a layer of Heat shrink on it to keep the dummy insulated, the dummy cell can also be fattened up a bit so as not to fall out when swapping 123's but it does make in the dark swap to AA's more difficult as it requires the removal of both the cap and head. I prefer the dummy in a lose state to drop out easily.
It looks like this!
This Mod will be determined by you, the USER/Purchaser to meet suitability, No warranty implied or given. It WILL Void the Fenix warranty, Your Mileage may vary, only fake CR123 cells and dummy AA's may be used in this Facsimile of a functional Light for the remainder of the half-life of the aluminum used...
All modes work, with the 123body mod it is seamless and works like the original. With the addition of the tactical button you simply cycle through the modes by using the button or cycling the tail cap and leaving it screwed it down when the desired mode is reached for full on.
Tac Ring and Momentary Switch:
This is a new ring that has a hidden locking ring, still does not mar the light and is adjustable for 2 lengths of pull as shown in the top and bottom clone pic.
and it now has a surefire style momentary with full on by twisting the cap ALA G2 and 6P!
Price:
$22 for the body bore and dummy cell.
$20 for Tac ring
and $20 for the button
OR $55 for all three.
Prices include First class shipping with delivery conformation, insurance Extra, $1.35 for body only $2.60 for light
The SKYTAC RING (Patent Pending):Securly fits between the head and body of light, yet it still allows for full use of all the modes and does not in any way permanantly modify the light!
My technique is a bit rough due to a new light and the button guard digging into my hand but it gives you an idea.
Here is the pocket clip mounted to the cigar ring. Its reversable so you can position the clip at a couple diff areas on the light.
