Put me on the list for 2 lights, please.
It doesn’t.
But XP-L (HI or HD) costs more than the other emitters being considered.
Inner diameter is 23.1 mm. It fits onto a D4, but it’s necessary to take the O-ring off first and then replace it after putting the clip on.
But it does cost much more than a plain XP-L (not HI or HD) which is why The Team chose it for the Q8.
Maybe that has changed (out of touch and a bit burned-out still, don’t let that happen to you).
We might have liked one of the others but it made no sense (given the budget). And we got a very nice LED, as it happens.
Still wondering about 20% more for this choice if that’s real, maybe that doesn’t matter to some.
ToyKeeper: Tom Tom:why does an XPL-HI cost so much more than an XPL ?

XP-L comes in two varieties:
- HD: High Density (has a dome)
- HI: High Intensity (no dome)
The BLF Q8 used XP-L HD.
There is no such thing as a “plain XP-L”, but usually when HD or HI isn’t specified, it’s safe to assume HD because it was created first.
I stand corrected.
I did say I was burned-out and can forget some things.
goshdogit:The captive pocket clip is one of my favorite features. Could you measure the diameter of its hole?
I really hope Lumintop will make them available separately. Could you try fitting one to an Emisar D4?

Would happily pay $10 each for 2 additional clips if that option ever pops up.
Samsung 5000k would be my vote. Seems like it would suit this host really well
Edit: Not a fan of the ranked choice voting. I wouldnt want any XPG in it, yet had to still include a vote for it. Also same with color temp. Wouldnt want anything higher than 5500k or lower than 4000k, yet had to vote for them…
Updated list : … Post moved to Page 130 , FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public - #3870 by pepinfaxera

Thanks, TK!
Did you like the look of the FW3A clip on the D4?

This voting means that if you vote for them to have last place, you’re voting that any other option would be better. That’s… how ranked choice works. Just because you had them on the list doesn’t mean you’re voting “for” them.
I stand corrected.

Yep… it is easy for any of us to go brain dead & get forgetful of even the basics when we get “burned out”.
Get rested up…. you don’t want to end up ‘burned up’ from terminal “burn out”. :+1:

Exactly.
For example, consider this ballot:
- 1st choice: 219c, LH351D, XP-L HI
- 5th choice: XP-G2, XP-G3
This ballot says: Anything except XP-G. It votes “for” the first three, and votes “against” the last two.
If someone wants, they can further differentiate, stating which of the first three they like best or which of the last two they dislike most, but it’s not necessary. The ballot style allows a lot of flexibility in expressing one’s views, and the Condorcet vote-counting methods use all that data.
On a side note, Condorcet-based methods are not to be confused with IRV (instant runoff). The ranked-choice ballot looks pretty much the same, but IRV ignores most of the data and produces weird results. It gives the voter the illusion that the nuances of their views matter, but it’s a false illusion.

Does either picture represent the true color of the backgrounds & foreground?
If so, which one??
If neither, what color are they???

Here is a ‘side by side’ that might make comparison easier.

5000k Samsung …………………………………… 4000K Samsung
Add me to the list for a 2nd one. Especially if there will be an emitter option.
Change my total on the list to 3 please.
Thanks for that Teacher.
That 5000k Samsung looks as good as my D4 with 3A 5000K.
Now that’s a side by side I’d love to see…….

The 5000k is more than likely closer to daylight colours but I have little use for that. I will always choose the warmer colours for an edc.
Think of it as an anti-blue light app on your phone or PC only it’s on your torch.
Thanks for that Teacher.

My pleasure Lionheart. :+1:
I would like to see that comparison myself…….
