Poor man\'s L4 (not a joke)
This is a painfully simple and cheap mod. Just buy one of those AdvancedMart 28-LED lights and stick 2 CR123s in. You'll have to sleeve them with some paper or foam or PVC. The beam is actually better than that of the L4 (no donut shape and bigger hotspot with the same throw), and both an outdoor test and a ceiling bounce test confirm that brightness is similar if not identical to that of the L4. It's not regulated, it's not as small, and it's not as durable, but for a light that costs a total of $20 to assemble, it's a steal.
