Why is everybody thinking only about A2 ??? Haha...

)

A2 was what came to my mind. Second I saw the post I figured it was time to dust 'er off and ship 'er out. [emoji6]

 

[toastystuff]

Omg the a2? What do you have planned!!!!??

 

[kellyglanzer]

Sounds exciting. I'm in.

 

[Bogie]

Have a old L2 that could use some love

 

[Tana]

Whew... managed to update first post with some info...

 

[Str8stroke]

Tana, This is exciting stuff!!

 

[kellyglanzer]

Tana can the round A2 body be bored for 18650 as well as the square body?

 

[toastystuff]

The mod for the A2 sounds awesome! Sad to see the incan and 5mm leds go though :-(

 

[mk2rocco]

Can these bodies use a 17650?

"Surefire L1 Gen 5 (round long body, KL1-lookalike head, domed lens):
-----
Working on details... no complete overhaul, body can be lego'd with e-series head of moddable choice (incan, KX2, KL4, etc)"

The A2 mod sounds pretty awesome, but my drop-in replaceable bulb base will now be un-needed.

With a McClicky mod, would it still retain the 2 stage or would it be single stage now? I'm thinking single stage, but want to be sure.

I'm curious also. I was just about to ping ole Barry for expert commentary.

Surefire A2:
-----
Still in R&D process... the only idea I'm bouncing around for it is QUAD setup, multi-mode driver (LuciDrvFT) at 4.5Amp (limited by switch, not sure if 10A switch can fit as McClicky can in which case super driver like H17F can be used), body bored for 18650 and tailcap modded with clicky switch (McClicky)...

Quad? You worried about supply at all? I heard from the man himself that the Russian well just went dry.

Although I also heard about a new player hitting the field right around the time I reached out to SinkPad

I have round body model and it seems like there is plenty of room to bore it... I'm not sure about square flat model... but apparently Barry bore quite the few so far and he might have an answer...

Installing McClicky makes it simple clicky tailcap - which controls modes stored in custom driver inside head...

To retain 2-stage tactical (as stock), head is modded to be single mode and then bigger resistor controls proper low with that setup...

Have you ever tried your mods on a Fire Kylin copy of a Surefire?

I try to stay away from copies (plus the last time I checked they were not that cheaper than the real thing, anyway)...

 

[teak]

Hey Tana, since surefire has quit supporting the a2s now, what was your mod to those going to consist of? Are you keeping the factory bezel? I would want the 2 stage tailcap to remain but retaining the factory bezel seems challenging. I love the form factor of the as and the 2 stage tailcap and the floody low beam.

Is it possible to get a lower low output out of the lx2 with your mods? I'm thinking like 3-5 lumen

Yes, he's using Lucidrv FT or H17F so you could ramp the modes up to whatever you wanted really. Check out the ramp steps table towards the bottom of dr jone's manual

Sorry I meant the single output heads with the LX2s 2 stage tail cap. i.e.-different resister control
