Does anyone know when UK will be upgrading the SL4 to eLED?

It doesn't show up as an eLED on their website (http://www.kinetics-cases-lights.com/) but you may want to email them to find out whats up: info@beaconww.com

Although their SLs are great little lights, I can't help but think they'd be even better going to the eLED.

Please keep us posted! :thumb:

I'm pretty sure you can drop the eLED fixture into the housing. That's how I did my C8.

Interesting. Aren't they size specific at all? For example, is there a particular fixture for the C8, C4, etc.?? :huh:

Yes. For example, the fixture for the C8 eLED will fit in the regular C8 housing.

If you want an SL4 with LED-comparable performance, you can upgrade using a MAL Lighting µHLD1 "bulb."

That may be so, but according to Tech-Blue.com, that is a $118 in Delrin. :11: That is double if not triple the price of what the SL4 would most likely cost in eLED. I'm not sure I want to spend that much.

Based upon Submariner's suggestion, I've just emailed Beacon World Wide. I'll let you know when I get a response.

So you think the eLED fixture for the C4 would work in the SL4? Has anyone ever tried that?

The $118 price is for the entire light - you just need the "bulb" assembly (item# 03.0907 "µ HLD1 Bulb"), which will fit in the SL4 head. I have no idea how much the MAL "bulb" costs...
