Anyone know where we can get replacement switches for the Xeno?
'Tellin ya, just remove the switch from the tail and soak that bad boy in wd-40. It works like a charm (no replacement needed).
I would be interested in a forward clicky though....
Thanks man :) I just got mine a few days ago and I'm loving it so far. Got my 14500's today and I'm charging them. Can't wait to see how bright this thing can get!
I liked it so much I bought a second one and haven't even opened it up, just keeping it as a spare.
Are you sure it works?
Of course :)
I don't have either ...
but
I'd buy the xeno
I'm always right :P
I also dont have either...but I do like the Xeno due to the awesome looking blue color it had. Black gets a bit boring all the time...
Forgot to mention: Balder doesn't tailstand properly, Xeno does.
Just put a 14500 in my Xeno, and man is this thing bright! The low isn't that low anymore, but that doesn't bother me at all :)
My SE-1 just died. :(
Plus one for the Xeno.
Just for the hell of it... I went outside and threw my xeno about 50 feet into the air, and let it land on gravely/grassy area, works perfect and didn't flicker at all..

Looks more like purple to me. Still looks cool though
I have the Xeno E03 and E15... no Balder. But, from what I have seen in pics, the Balder doesn't appear as well-built. I really wish the Xeno had a firefly mode and a pocket clip! GITD o-ring & tailcap, choice of tints, quality knurling & threads, tailstanding (great during blackouts with XML emitters), steel bezel... easily beats the Balder (in my opinion). I wish Xeno made a single CR123 light, or at least a CR123 version of their E15, complete with 1 or 2 cell capability! Any way to relay this to the guys at Xeno?
*edit* Also wanted to add that the positive terminal spring is a nice touch. I have broken two lights by dropping them on their heads and having the cell smash the board. One was a Jet Beam IBS and the other was a Solarforce L2r with their drop-in.

50 feet is High......... That's higher than dropping it off of the average sized suburban house roof.
yea, I threw it as high as I could and be accurate enough it wouldt land somewhere it wasn’t suppose too

Your SF drop-in had no spring?
Ah, yeah... sorry. The drop-in has a spring. The battery force was enough to bust the soldering holding it to the module. Maybe if it were a smaller board, the spring would have been enough to make the difference.
i found the xeno on ebay for $26 shipping included. waiting with anticipation for delivery. my decision based on looking a little less tactical. hope i made the rite one.
