will there be a kl2 like head for the m6?

same as above

You can use KL2 on M6.

I thought you couldn't run it with 6 123's

Hmmm, I did not know that. I guess you get NUTTY runtime?

Yup it looks a bit wierd but works great I use spent 123's and still get good runtime. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'd like to see a picture of that combo /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Think "pin head" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think the KL6 will look a bit better. Like a giant M1.

Sean has a picture of one.

I would like to see that pic. Maybe Sean could e-mail it to me?

Don, I think you have the right idea. I can imagine an M6/KL2 combo looking somewhat like a giant CO2 cartridge.

I see the KL6 on the M3, but I'm almost thinking about getting the KL6 just to see what it looks like on my M6. The runtime on that must be pretty nice.

welll ... since the runtime of the KL2 on 3x123 (M3) is just about 90min, it would be 3 hours on 6x123 ... not too cool IMHO, we can do much better ...

The KL2 was SF's first entry in the dedicated LED heads, to my knowledge. It uses a current limiting circuit which is like a "smart" resistor; excessive voltage is chopped off and spent as heat. Unfortunately, the LED's only require 6 volts so with a 9 volt supply, the third cell is basically spending its energy as hand warmer. In the case of the M6, two of the cells are relegated to hand warmer mode. With the KL6 however, all of the cells will be working for a united cause of photon creation with the thermal output solely a result of the inherent inefficiencies of the LED.
