My standard query (grin) — what’s the diameter of the drivers in any of these lights?
I’m always looking for pills that will take the BLF “SK68” 15mm drivers for AA lights — to use with 1AA or with Frankenstein’s Modder 3xAA combining cheap battery tubes
My KD Buckle V6 had some threadlocker on the front part where it seperates from the head. If you look at your light, you should see two grooves in the knurling. The rearmost groove is where you unscrew it to add a battery. The front one is where the head comes off. The “middle” section between them is the “pill”, it has the emitter and the driver. I guess the only way to remove the driver is to take a skinny punch from the front of the pill, through the wire holes, after you desolder the emitter.
If your front section does not twist off from the middle pill section, try heating it up with a soldering iron for a couple of minutes and using a pair of gloves to twist it apart then. The threadlocker was red on mine, so it should not be too strong anyway. The reflector screws out like a Convoy S2 pill.
I really like the KD Buckle V6, a very nice light for the price. They are out of black currently, but the other colors are good too and the anodizing is very well done.
I don’t have anything to say other than “thank you to all for your contributions in this thread!” I now have a bunch of new “toys” to consider ordering.
Thanks man. Nice review. How many lumens you estimate high mode to be at (aa and 2aa)? Looks like a perfect gift to non flashaholics! Might need to stock a few
