If one were to exclude the Vital Gear FB1, Surefire E1e and Aleph 2 options, are there any other contenders for a really small 1x123 switch and battery tube for the KL4? The VG FB1 is the smallest I've seen so far.
What's the smallest 1x123 package for a KL4?

TW4 is pretty much it.

If you wanted to use RCR2, McGizmo makes a nice CR2 flared body http://www.lighthound.com/images/aleph/AlephBody1xCR2F.jpg

I like that battery tube Bernie.
I wonder how long a KL4 would run off a 9 volt primary? That might make an interesting tactical light. Short and all the punch of 9 volts...Hmmm???

... which is an Arc LS twisty with an adapter for SF E-Series. Unfortunately it isn't available
Mine was made by Rothrandir a long time ago.

Thank you, all. Wow! That's small, Bernie. Looks like it'll be an Aleph 2 plus Z57 clickie for me. The switch on the Vital Gear FB1 isn't reliable enough for me. I tried a fix that was featured here, but it was an on again/off again (no pun intended) thing.

Here is the KL4/CR2 (actually RCR2):
and a KL4/1x123 (third from right):

Yes, you're right.
Powernoodle, what's the runtime on a rechargeable CR2?

Bernie, I bought a regular black E2D tailcap and sent it to Don (McGizmo) to have it stripped and re-anodized HAIII NAT in one of his regular build batches to the anodizer for a fee.

Sorry, I don't know. I always pop in a new battery before the only one conks. And I don't play with this configuration much anyway.

Bernie , I took this pic from http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=142&t=143421
But a good friend of mine told me he and others from his unit were issued these Scout Lights in HA natural before heading down range a few years ago . So I know they were made for the military . Maby not for the public though .
I am now told the M600 scout light and all it´s parts are only made in Black HA III . Thats where thoes Black KL4 heads are comming from I think .
I would like to have such a tailcap in HA-Nat myself.
