Are there any easy mods out there for a Black L1? How hard is it to replace the LED with a 5 watter and boost the current? I guess I would need to bore out the body to fit another cell? Maybe a LuxIII? What are my options?

Bore out the body for a second SF123A and work out how to put an X200 bezel on it...
It wouldn't be easy but it will be totally awesome I think!

Better still just have McGizmo turn it into a McL1/2. PR917 with 2x123 and the two stage switch with the awesome PR sized reflector in the trimmed down size. This light has replaced the A2 as my EDC light.

Contact McGizmo and have him make you a L1/PR-T/ Lux3/ DB917/ 2x123 or if you want a 5 watt L1/ PR-T/ BB750/ 2x123.

Sell it to me for $50.00! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'm really an awfully nice person and it
would make me very happy . . . /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

MTFD17,

There is nothing useful about the L1, especially in black! You would not sleep well if you were to rip Lux off by selling it to him. I have come up with a sure fire way of disposing of these unwanted flashlights. Out of the goodness of my heart, I will pick up the shipping costs if you would be so kind as to just mail the L1 to me. Trust me on this. Just get rid of it and them move on without looking back. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

LOL, funny responses guys. Seriously tho, Don, what can you do for me? I might be able to get my hands on a few of these (I will not say from where tho /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sssh.gif). How much $$ do your mods usually run? Maybe ill throw one in for you for your services... Let me know! You can post here or PM me.

Several easy mods. The emitter is very easy to replace. The optics holder unscrews (the very end of the light) and there's your emitter with lots of room to work. Replacing the stock emitter with a SW0K really changed this light for me.

The resistor in the tailcap can be replaced with a different value.

I'd like to see a clickie tailcap on one

McGizmo's L1 --> McL1 mod is VERY nice. A clickie would be tough, it would most likely lose the hi/low mode.

Any thoughts on that, Don?
