Surefire A-E Lego - Is this legit?

Now, I may not know Paul Kim, but I know that's an A2 head on an E2e body. So, since I don't have an E2e head to play with, I can't tell if it's a workable lego. My money, however, is on no - he took the bulb out of the A2 head and stuck it on an E2 body, possibly with a great deal of glue. On the other hand, we're looking at an interesting mod that he has no understanding of, and therefore I want.

MorpheusT1 posted some info about this in the auction notices.

It looks more like an L1 head, which is E-series compatible. However, I don't think it's wise to run it with 2x123 primaries :thinking:

17650 would maybe work

The A2 is too big to fit on E-series bodies. I've tried.

I regularly run all three generation L1 heads on single RCR123, 17500, 18500, & 18650 in different bodies (all varieties of SureFire, Aleph, Fivemega, Mirageman, Jhenko, VitalGear). Mostly I run 1st & 2nd gen heads on RCR's, but I have tested my 3rd gen.

Somebody ran an L1 on 2xCR123 a minute or two at a time, but it will likely only last a short time and dim quickly. I would not run an L1 on two cells of any kind ...unless they were Alkaline or NiMH. I limit the voltage to 4.2V.

I can't see this ad (work blocks popular sites), but if it looks like an A2 head but fits E-series, then it must be the 1st gen L1.

They are 1st gen L1 heads...thats a fact!

I think the current bid was $36. Thats almost worth the body and tail cap alone due to some slight wear, but I would not bid on this or even go above the $36 bid.


Thanks MorpheusT1 for the information.

My L1 head mounted on an E2E body was awesomely bright....for just a little while. Then it was only a good host for a mod. Two CR123's to an L1 head is bad medicine.

I got a reply from him, and sent him a suggestion that the lights will burn out and are Significantly Not As Described - scary words for an Ebay seller - and suggested he unload them at the Marketplace.

Dear donkie9887,

Isn't that a first-generation L1 head mounted on a E2 body?

Dear chrontius,

(message lost - oops!) I warned him that the LED was designed for around 3.7 volts, and 6V would charcoal it; buyers would find it Significantly Not As Described. Suggested CPFMarketplace as a potentially more profitable venue; let him know that Z52 tailcaps were always in demand.

Last thing I sent you, I completely forgot about CandlePowerForums.com - the parent site of CPF Marketplace. You can probably figure out everything about what you've bought there, there's a ton of info and the people are friendly. Perhaps more relevant to your interests is a large number of Surefire collectors present there.
