What you got today

Very nice! I am jealous of your solarforce collection!!

I got curious and filled up the sink with cold water, and let my L2i sit at the bottom for 15 minutes. Not a spec of water even penetrated anywhere close to the o-rings. I figured as much. I am very happy with the solarforce lights :D My L2x will be even better I suspect if thats possible. I think Im going to throw it to the bottom of my friends 10 ft. deep pool this summer and let it sit there for a while just to prove a point. I am confident in it :p

My L2i leaked water in. It's the only Solarforce I have that did. I need to take the lens out and check the o-rings in there.

Man, I need to just get an L2X already. I've wanted one for so long. I want an L2X with an MCE just to expand my experience with different emitters.

brted, how funny, I ordered a crank radio from Amazon today while I was at work. Is yours the Red Cross one? I ended up ordering the Kikkerland Dynamo one.

On another note, my Jetstream BC10 came today, a very nice little single AA light. Very white, very bright, throws to about 40 feet but the hotspot sort of blends right into the spill, so it lights up a LOT of territory out to 50 feet or so. Not bad for a light that is almost exactly 4 inches (9cm) long. Perhaps it is the nicest light I own at this point.

Foy, how many Solarforce hosts do you now have? Nice! I ordered an XP-G dropin from them and two SS bezels.

I need to figure out how to take beautiful macro shots like you do, so I can take a couple 'glamor' shots of my L2x. Its so perdy :P In a rough and tough kind of way. Those L2P's are just so clean and sophisticated looking. I think I need one :(

troop - 8 plus the Skyline.

Aye, sir! ;)

I leave it to match. But in a week or so when other components arrive there will be a tutorial: Build your own better XM-L (or other) dropin for abut the same or probably less.

I can't wait. A tutorial - I want badly to take this flashlight madness to the next level. I have a soldering iron and the requisite stones. (i.e. no fear of failing/making a big fat mess/blowing up the garage)

I got a small order from DX today. A couple of 10440 batteries and these http://www.dealextreme.com/p/tempered-glass-alloy-frame-sunglasses-with-uv400-uv-protection-22856 sunglasses. If I didnt know where these glasses came from you couldnt convince me they were fake.

These items took 16 days from the date DX said they shipped. Not bad

Just a Trustfire X-8 and some 18650 batteries.

Yeah, I got the little Red Cross one (FR160). It was the same price as the other Eton's but I figured there must be some kind of donation involved. The package said 50 cents would be donated. Later on I noticed there were some similar models I could have gotten that got just as good reviews, but I didn't see them when I was doing my research.

Same here :D Received mine today (ordered Apr. 1 from SolarForce-Sales.com, so it took 2 weeks to arrive).

Comparing to my other HA lights, L2P is the worst, but not bad by any means. The HA is good, but I can see veeery tiny dents on the body but under the paint, so no prob here. Came lubbed. Very nice knurling. Anyway, a good body for $20 shipped worldwide.

PS: can see small gap between bezel and body. Shoud it be more tightened?

Has Got today.

Covering very qualitative.

Who knows 2 CR123A possible to use?

With an XR-E and a smooth reflector, that is going to be a nice thrower. The site does not list the voltage of the dropin, have you taken it apart to see if it says anything on the side of the reflector or pill?

Got a Sky-Ray S-R5 host from LT, there are a lot of differences to that complete DX flashlight (ordered a year ago), will make a "Spot the Difference Puzzle" if I find the time. The DX one is a lot better.

have already heard,only 18650. Driver gives whole 700ма. Yes this good thrower,but worse than EastwardYJ YJ-XGR2

Maha C-9000 yay! So pretty... All those lights and numbers... *nerdgasm*

Oh no. You're hooked too.

Received yesterday one order from KD 4/1 , two AK-105 drivers , one empty P60 stuff and a 1.37 usd holster which fit perfectly one AA' flashlight as the Hugsby P-31 or the UF G10...also the mailman has right now a second order , one 17 usd UV365 nm in a 501 body...two weeks , not bad

Two from DX which left China the same day are still who know where as were mailed through CP...

Also received yesterday two envelopes from UK shipped 4/4 , Dremel's accessories , diamond stuff and such purchased on Ebay from two vendors , surprisingly fast due they are simple mail, 12 days total...

One SRM 909 in 10 days from Exduct! They seem to be getting faster, my 763 took 21 days.

A spork from PriceAngels and a package from China needing signing for - which means I get it on Monday.
