This is the light even Mr Bulk would find acceptable. It's a slightly overdriven (1.2A) 3W Luxeon TWAK with the PM6 reflector.
Here's some pics:
Next to an L5 (They're both about the same size)
small ding on KL3 but anodizing is intact
The lens is from Flashlightlens with an o-ring at the circumference to serve as a gap filler. The stock lens is too thick so I ordered a thinner one so that the retaining ring fits flush with the top of the head. It gives a nice fit appearance. The PM6 reflector and the inside of the KL3 was modified to allow the reflector to fit as the "ledges" on the reflector and on the KL3 presents an interference problem. I can't begin to tell you how much time it took to get this "machining" right without a lathe. I will include the original Pyrex lens and the rubber lens spacer and a Fraen LP so that you can swap out the reflector for an NX05 or the included Fraen if you want. This will run best on 2x123 or 3x123 but a single Li-Ion will also work though it won't run in regulation. However, it still kicks butt even on the lowly single Li-Ion
Here's some real world beam shots. These were taken from my second story deck and shows my kid's Power Wheels riding toy at about 50 ft.
First shot is the L5 which is my longest throwing 5W
Next is the KL3
Very tight beam with not so much sidespill to detract from the main center of attraction.
I'm asking $140 which includes insured shipping plus the miscellaneous paypal garbage fees.
