Maybe I just ignored the instructions on my first KL1, but the second one which just arrived says:
"The KL1 will operate using 3 or 6 volt batteries"
Surefire said the KL1 could operate on 9v. This was confirmed by PK. Is this just an omision, or is there a problem at 9v? I know I'm not the only one who planned to use Doug Speck's UBH to make an E3+KL1.
PURPLE BEAM:
I was disappointed to see that the beam of my second KL1 was as intensely purple as the first one. By no stretch of the imagination can this be considered a "white" beam. It is bloody well purple. I don't like it, my girlfriend doesn't like it, my friends don't like it, even my dog wouldn't like it (if I had a dog).
Sorry to rant but I'm feeling frustrated. SF made a point of stating that their LEDs are "hand selected", which means they are purposely selecting these purple beauties because they tend to be brighter than the others.
How many of us have received KL1's with at least a reasonalbly white beam?
