Just wanted to share my new favorite light with everybody. The Nailbender K2 TFFC drop-in in a Surefire C2L HA. It is a potted, 1 mode, UWOE tint module which Dave rates @ 260lm!
It is IMHO just perfect! No, not the brightest by 2011 terms, but what it lacks in brute force output, it makes up for in profile and tint! It seems to have a perfect white tint with just a hint of a golden hue. Much warmer than anything else I currently own, and if I dare say very reminiscent of a hard driven incan on the verge of poof. The hot spot is fairly broad, but has a nice, slightly hotter center, which is better seen on the -2 exposure shot below
I did make one change from original spec, I swapped the original MCE LOP reflector to a LOP XRE for a more concentrated beam. It is probably one of the most useful drop-ins I've ever had!!
Here are some pics in the host and a few indoor beam shots...
-2 exp____________ 0 exp_____________ +2 exp____________
This module is something of an oddball in today's market, but it really is an excellent LED, even if it is discontinued. It is tough, durable, practically bright and has to my eye, one of the best tints available!!
Thanks for looking!
