Beamshots of a KL6 with a MC-E or P7?

I have an old KL6 head that is due for an upgrade and I'm trying to decide what to put in it. There have been a few folks that have done XR-E LEDs in them but I haven't seen actual beamshots from anyone that has put in a multi-die emitter.

The setup now is running on 2x18650s and a McGizmo two stage switch. I'd like something that runs on the same battery setup so I'm guessing the stock converter will have to go if I want to run the P7 or MC-E.

Any beamshots using the KL6 would be a big help. Alternative setups for using the KL6 also appreciated.

Beam should be similar to U2 with MC-E so quite floody.

Good link...thanks! I hadn't seen that yet. I have a KL6 with a SSC and I had been pondering the idea of a MC-E and I'm impressed with how good it looked in the U2. It should look even slightly better in the deeper KL6...I'm guessing.


I just spotted this thread: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/211450

I think uneven spot will be even more noticeable...

For those who might not remember the KL6 I've included a couple of pix. I don't know if you can tell from the second shot but the reflector is very deep. The original Lux V was a four die emitter which is why I'm thinking of replacing it with a newer 4 die LED. My main concern is that the die height or die spacing might be radically different and give more of a donut hole at normal usage distances which for me will be 30'+.

Thanks for the link to the U2's beamshot but I think maybe its reflector is quite a bit shallower than the KL6. (I don't have one to compare) It looks closer in size to an M3 or KL5.

:bump: to see if anyone has beamshots with this setup.
