Run E2DL head on E1e body?...How?

Tried to search this, but couldn't find anything. How do I get the E2DL head to run on one cell?

If it can be done, how much dimmer will this be than two CR123 set-up will this be?

Thanks in advance!

Actually this has already been discussed before. The short answer, no the E2DL head will not run on 1 CR123. You can try with a RCR123 or 16340.

Thanks for the link! Couldn't find it earlier, my search fu suck!:duh2:

Aside from using Li-Ion rechargeables, you've got two options:

One, you could take apart the E2DL head (either yourself, or send it to someone with the necessary skills/resources) and replace its circuitry such that it runs at a lower voltage than the original 6V for 2xCR123.

Or two, you could buy an E1B and swap the front-most portion of its head with that of the E2DL. The threads/dimensions/etc. should theoretically be the same, so this should yield an E1B head (80 lumen high, 5 lumen low, operating on 1xCR123) with crenelations, and an E2DL head (120 lumen high, 5 lumen low, operating on 2xCR123) with a smoother, non-crenelated head.

Note that both of these procedures would void the warranty on your light(s), and also that I can't recall ever seeing anyone actually perform these mods. Not to say they couldn't be done or yield satisfying results, just that you might be venturing into uncharted waters.
