E2DL head on E1B body runtime request

sfca · Sep 9, 2009

Title says it all. I'm thinking of doing that + scalloped tailcap. I'd like a smaller light E2DL.
For those who know what should we expect in terms of runtime and brightness?

Comments on this specific combo by users are welcome.

If I get around to it, I'll run my E2DL head on my Nitecore Extreme body with 1 cell, should be the same run time. Oooooh, this setup makes my E2DL RCR123 compatible! :hitit:

Edit: Never mind, does not fit properly

My E2DL head won't power up on my E1L body with a CR123A.

Ditto on a E1B + E2DL head. I'm sure someone here has tried a RCR123 + E2DL head combo since I recall a KL4 on a E1e body w/ RCR.

I put my E2DL head on my E1B Body. Using a RCR123 rechargeable, the output is slightly brighter with the E2DL head vs the E1B head. I haven't conducted any runtime tests.

That's all I need to hear. I like the brightness of the original light so I'll keep it at it's current size for now.
Thanks!

Actually would anyone know if there's a 18650 body that would work with an E2DL head?

euroken · Sep 10, 2009

There has been few runs of custom made for 18650 E series compatible bodies in the past. I recently obtained a Mirage Man's split body 1x18650, but paid top dollars for it due to lack of availability.

Based on my experience, they are not easy to find.

How's the output on those bodies in comparison to regular output?

euroken · Sep 10, 2009

I actually don't know yet. I JUUUUST ordered a E2DL head from market place and will try it out once received.

I'm planning to run it with AW 18650-26. When I find something I'll be sure to post it.

Alright sweet thanks man. As a side note, those bodies are expensive!!

They are a two-piece design due to the larger diameter of an 18650 cell. It won't fit through the opening of a regular E-series body. More parts, more machining, more $.

This is my experience as well. IIRC, runtime on high is about an hour on an RCR. But don't quote me on that.
