KRISS Vector Lights

I have merged all light related topics and posts into one massive thread.

New guy here....

does anyone know if the light mod for the sr07 switch will void the kriss warranty? I also read another poster asked about the new eb1 and if it worked....anyone know?

It should fit. As the EB1 and E1B share the same body. The body is all that matters. As that is the part that interacts with the light adapter.

SR07 hole should not void warranty but if you experience any problems because of it, it probably WONT be covered.

The KRISS USA guys are pretty reasonable.

Costco has a special on the E1B special edition

I just put on the powertac cadet and spliced on the surefire switch without any issues. The powertac leads are not as heavy a gauge but there was no issue. Best of both - 300L and the surefire switch. Also no mods on the upper

Can anyone comment on whether an Osprey can be mounted with either the Surefire OR the Cadet light kit? I just ordered the Cadet kit and plan on ordering an Osprey in the near future. anyone?

Hmm. I think Catmostfeared should answer.

It appears that with the shape of the Osprey that the upper and lower are separated to take the Osprey off or put it on.

Thanks!

But why would you want to just pull those few pins, when you could disassemble the entire light unit every time?

Actually that is more complicated. You need tools. Popping three pins to separate the upper reciever can be done with no tools and is much quicker and easier.

/sarcasm. ;)

Also, since I don't have my SDP yet, I did actually waste a bit of time trying to figure out what would work.

Carry on I also need some high lighted information Please .
Details with product names . Some people like me are new and the answers aren't always clear .

I found the power tac cadet on ebay for $59.99. thats a $10 cheaper than everywhere else. Hope this helps someone out.

Here's my light.

Hey Kipp - did you splice the Surefire UE07 switch or the SR07 Switch? I'd like to have a constant-on option and as I understand it that's what the SR07 does. Also do you have any pics you can post?

TexasEagle, look at the pic at the very top. Next to KRISSTALK header. You can see me holding my KRISS and the SR07. The shrouded circle encloses the constant clicky. Then they rectangle in front of it is the momentary tape switch.

Spliced the SR07 - I just crimped it on to the surefire lead. Cut the surefire and cadet lead as far down as you can so you don't run short on length. The cadet is not that heavy a gauge so be careful with it. A photo wont really show anything, just 2 wires crimped together. I'm gonna check to see if I took any photos but I don't think so. Only issue is I will have to pull it apart at the crimp to remove it (did it once without any prob) I'm looking for a small clip to put them on to separate them if necessary.

Excellent. Thanks for the reply. This is, as you say, the best of both worlds as I don't want to cut my upper but do want the constant-on capability of the SR07. I also like the Cadet's ability of different brightness settings including the strobe - not to mention the price compared to a SureFire...

Gang, can the SR07 be used on any other light? Without having to splice/tear apart anything, I'd like to find a cheaper alternative to the E1B (Amazon $186). I'm getting a foregrip for my Kriss, that accepts a pressure panel, but was looking at the SR07 as an alternative.

Yes. But you are limited to Surefire Eseries.

 I just completed adding the Powertac cadet w/cable switch to my SDP. No modifications to the pistol, as there is just enough room to push the switch thru the opening where the cable comes out. Ran cable under right side rail . I did have to remove the 2 screws holding the metal piece at the shell eject area. Very easy assembly, after the adapter came from KRISS.

New to site, and THANKS to everyone for all the info and pictures.

I have a CRB, how much interference the shroud has on the light? Surefire and the cadet, respectively?

Guys, can anybody help me out with my last question? I'm planning to get either the E1B or the updated EB1 (if it fits), but I need to know if it the shroud (CRB) creates a shadow on the projected light.

yea it does, just stick any little light there and you can replicate it as far as shadow goes. I dont think it makes a difference between the 2.
