FS: KL1 Head w/high CRI (SOLD) + Vital Gear FB-1 Body (SOLD)

KL1 Head w/high CRI Seoul and Vital Gear FB-1 body (natural)

Head, as described by original owner:

Surefire KL1 head in HA natural finish modified as follows:
-4000K color temperature high CRI Seoul LED mounted with AA thermal epoxy on a copper shim for proper focus
-IMS 20mm smooth reflector for good throw but ample spill - the reflector was slightly cut down for proper fit and focus
-Modified original KL1 circuit to increase LED drive level - 560mA on one Li-ion or 750mA on 2 primaries, 2 Li-ion or 3 primaries
-Head is sealed with medium strength Loctite

This head is in excellent condition as you can see from the photos below.
It is not 100% though, I would rate it at 97% due to some very slight anodizing wear in a few places at the bezel -
but you have to be looking for it to see it.
This light does an excellent job at rendering colors due to the use of the high CRI LED.
Because of the boost/buck KL1 circuitry it can run off of many battery choices up to 9V input.

Body is in excellent condition (no scratches, dents, or dings). Body and head color are a pretty close match.

Head is $80 (SOLD), body $30 or get both for $100.
PayPal preferred (no trades). Shipped USPS First Class mail (CONUS).

For international sales, any extra shipping costs will be added to the above price.

Add insurance or registration fees, if desired, as I will not be responsible for loss once the item has been shipped.

First unconditional "I'll take it" followed by payment within 24 hours. PM for Paypal info.

Thanks,
Mike

The KL1 uses a boost/buck circuit topology that provides regulated output from 3-9V. The LED drive current should be around 500mA using one CR123, though I never thought to measure it. I always ran it on a 17670.

You removed the listing of the KL1 head and its price from post #1. Please replace these details - you are NOT supposed to remove them.

Original sales posting restored. Sorry, I wasn't aware that removing individual items from a multiple sales post was against the rules.
