    Not sure how many turns...depends on how loose you have it. Yes, it is an SL4...I broke one of my lightheads and swapped the entire head from my old SL4.

    Thats what I thought

    I lent mine out and it was flooded and gummed up, bought an SL4 replacement and stuck it in there. I have two, the one that wasn't broken doesn't turn on until its almost all the way screwed down. The one I replaced turns on almost immediately after I start screwing it down.

    The difference has got to be in the reflector assembly because if I swap them, it moves with it!

    I'll search it for some adjustment or something...

    I didn't notice a difference in the one I switched...we can compare them next time we meet up if you want.

    I noticed that. I was taking batteries out of my SL6 and placing them in my scout when I looked at the two heads and noticed they were the same.

    I do remember that the bulbs looked a little different, but I'll have to check again when I have them in front of me.

    For what it is worth the new Scout lights use...

    For what it is worth the new Scout lights use a completely new bulb reflector lens assembly made by halcyon and you can replace just the bulb.

    Maybe retrofitable?
