Seems like the great many I've talked to or once modified KL4s are no longer taking orders. KL4 concerned is a LuxV version, hopefully step up to MC-E. I can provide the LED but I do not possess machining capabilities to put it in.

Thanks in advance,
cheers:)

You gotta check out Tana. He's a member on here and he does some of the most meticulous, super clean work I've ever seen. He builds XPG2, XPE2 and Nichia 219 triples in KL4's that are awesome. I have several of his mods and they are easily among my favorites! Also, member Dafabricata has been known to crack open a KL4 head once in awhile and drop a single XML2 on a custom brass heatsink. I have a couple of his mods and they're great too! Love those E series builds!

Oh....also I should mention Tana is in Bosnia, but he is super honest and shipping back and forth has never been a problem.

Feel free to send me a PM if you're looking to have a KL4 modified.
I'm in the states and have several options available.

Inbox cleared.:thumbsup:

You can also send me an email to the address in my profile since the PM box does tend to get congested.
Thanks:wave:

If I wanted to turn my kl4 in to a hand held torch. Looking for bright with a good throw to it. Would a p7 be what I'm looking for or are there better upgrades?

I realize this post is a couple months old, but I will put this out there anyway.

P7 is a fairly outdated emitter now. Smaller emitters with higher output can be had now. My suggestions would be this. For a single cell light ( 17670 3.7V ) an XML2. This would render about 800-900 OTF lumens. For a 2 li-ion setup you could get as much as 1800 out of an XHP-50.

I would be willing to offer either of these upgrades to a KL4 head if anyone is still interested.


PM is fine or email vesture_of_blood at hotmail.com
