Can a surefire kl5 be modded with a SSCP4 or Cree 7090 LED? Does the body have enough thickness (metal) to be bored out to accept an 18650 cell?
Thanks in advance.

Should be doable.
Body can also be bored out, but the wall at the threads would only
be 0.5mm :). I think it's safer with a 17670 Li-Ion cell...

Feel free to drop me a line at george (at) bombelman.com

Cheers !

Thanks for the reply Bombelman, do you know who can mod this flashlight to put Seoul in it?

Check with milkyspit ( member here on CPF) IIRC he has modded KL5's with SSC P4's or Cree XRE's. He has modded a Nuwai 301 X3 for me with a Cree XRE and it works great.

Yes, Milky modded my L5 with a Seoul. It's pumping out 200 lumens now and is maybe my favorite light. And, yes. The body can be bored out with little trouble to fit the 18650. Mine is. :)
