So elzetta head threads and keep the surefire tailcap. OK. Darn, I'll just have to go out and purchase an elzetta light to get the threads and spacing. :)

Edit: it appears that the alpha is a one piece body and head. They don't sell a single cell head. We can look into doing a 2 cell version.

I'd be willing to buy an Alpha and an SR07 if that would help.

[Slippers]

I have a UE07 so no worries there. But the alpha head is part of the body so we can't do anything for it.

Now you have my interest piqued. I'm going to go see if my Elzetta Bravo head fits.

[CarbonScoring]

I see what you mean. I was thinking the Alpha would break down like the Bravo and Charlie. Looks like you would have to step up to the Bravo to make it happen (which wouldn't be bad either).

[voodoo_man]

Yes on protac. If you make a body that accepts those 18860 or whatever number rechargeable batteries and attaches to rail (or to your mount) it would be awesome and since the lights are cheaper than SFs it may be more widely accepted

[Slippers]

So is it better to use surefire tailcaps across the board?

Also, before anyone gets too excited just remember it takes time to make this stuff a reality. We have a few parts queued up before we start making m600 bodies, let alone variants to use streamlight or elzetta heads.

surefire tails allow wired momentary on buttons so yeah, that would be awesome. I don't know how it would transfer over to streamlight or elzetta but bang for buck is definitely not on SF's side.

I see the AVS bezel on the elzetta site for $115, which is the larger head, 650 lumens. The "standard" head on the bravos uses a 235 lumen Malkoff LED unit, and doesn't appear to be for sale. There's really no reason we can't do the same thing, i.e. make our own head that uses Malkoff drop-ins, but then we're back to the whole issue of waiting on Malkoff.

I'll have to see what Walt thinks and do some more research. Of course, the AVS heads are nice, but not sure everyone wants something that large or bright.

We can get you in touch with Dave Barnett at Elzetta if you want to work on a collaboration.

This would be cool. And yes on the Surefire tail caps.

[voodoo_man]

You guys should end up making your own heads, bodies and tail caps that are interchangeable with SF/SL/etc

[UWone77]

The Elzetta Design Bravo is too big. So No Dice

I wasn't aware that they also used Malkoff M60 heads. Just goes to tell you I didn't pay attention or ever pull the Elzetta lights apart.

Thanks for posting that picture. Interesting how they set it up. It wouldn't be difficult at all to make a modified scout body that accepts M60 drop ins and uses the Elzetta bezels. Or make our own bezel. No big deal on the lathe to run those.

Sounds like your only issue will be trying to find which light bodies will be most popular to make it worth the cost of producing.

I like the Surefire Bodies, but I like the Elzetta heads better, since they offer such a wide assortment. Either way, you guys are cranking out some great stuff!
