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.
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.
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.
Received my L2P from solarforce-sales today. (actually yesterday but as usual, I was not home and had to drive into town to the post office on my lunch - registered mail)
14 days so, I'm not complaining.
Since I've had the other L2P for a few months of hard use, I plan to do a review here in the next couple of days.
First impressions:
The white printing on this run of L2Ps (they were out for a while) is actually stamped into the metal, unlike my other light which is just printed smooth on the annodization. 4Sevens and other brands do this sometimes and I think it gives this torch more of a high-end look.
The aluminum inside the light and the tail cap threads have a slight gold or brass tint, again, unlike my other L2P.

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.
Now look what you made me do...
Couple of days ago I said I'm not yet ready to go the DIY route. Today I ordered some 101-AK:s, WW R4:s, AVR ISP programmer, SOIC 8 clip and such.
Just got a Uniquefire G10, nice little AA light with an XP-G and smooth reflector in it. Supposedly it runs on 14500 as well, but those have not come from China yet, but looking forward to trying them in it when they do. The G10 is almost small enough to be a keychain light.
Did you get the single, five or six mode? The way I read the reports is that the 6 mode will fry on 14500s. The five mode has reports of success as does the single mode. I have a single coming any day now and I am throwing a 14500 right into it. All or nothing.
