Someone posted a list of the various KL heads with specs and interchangeability of bodies, etc a few weeks? ago. Can someone tell me where to find it I have searched using several strings and looked at several hundred posts, but can't find it.

I don't remember the thread, but here is the basic stuff about the KL? series of heads from surefire.

KL1 - for 3v & 6v e-series lights (E1,E2,E1e,E2e)
KL2 - for M3 lights
KL3 - for 6v & 9v C series lights (6P,9P,C?,D?,M2,Z?)
KL4 - for 6v E-series lights (E2,E2e)

Not 100% sure about the compatibility of the KL5/KL6 lights
KL5 - for 6v? C series lights (6P,C2,D2,M2,Z2)
KL6 - for M6 (maybe M4)

Some minor corrections. Keep in mind that most of these alternate configurations are not recommended:

KL1 will work with 9v in addition to what you have listed (UBH).

KL2 will work with M6.

KL3 should also work on a 12Z IIRC (not 100% sure about this). It will also function dimly on 3v. The KL3-RD should be acceptable on a 3P body.

KL4 will work safely with 3v (E1 or E1e), but not at full brightness or in full regulation.

KL5 should work similarly to a KL4 on 3v (3P or E1e with a E2C adapter).

KL6 will work on M3, M4, or M6.

KL7 works with the 8AX recharagble.
