I just wanted to give a thumbs up to RMM. Got back to me right away on my inquiry about shipping to Canada and was able to save me some money on shipping. Looking forward to my order arriving.
Another great chance to support a fellow BLF’er.

Just now in Recent posts there is what is. typical shipping time from IOS, 20-30 days for some.
I love that you have efest 10440s.
I got ten shiny new Qlites from him myself.
Just added a few Convoy S2 and C8 hosts to the store along with a few other bits and pieces.
I was just going to order one but you just made my day 
I have one of your driver from my first order so what would be a good choice for a LED ???
Thanks,
Ed
Ed, I prefer the warmer tints (4C & 5B1) in the XM-L2. You will need a 16mm MCPCB. My personal S2 is running a qlite @ 3.04A with a 5B1 XM-L2 on a 16mm Noctigon MCPCB. This is a warmer tint than most LEDs but not overly so in my opinion. The color rendition is fabulous. You do lose a few lumens with the 5B1 vs. the 4C or 3C but in this type of light I like the 5B1 a lot.
You could always go with the 16mm XP-G2 on Noctigon as well if you want more throw vs. more overall lumens. I also offer some inexpensive XP-G2 emitters on aluminum stars as well but those will do better with a few 7135s removed from the qlite, at around 2A, they are also 1A which is pretty cool unless dedomed. The Noctigon XP-G2 will take 3A just fine.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the help.
Very busy with work but will be placing a order soon.
Hey Ed, watch your back when you place the order… Richard has a mean arm and will hit ya in the back of the head with your package if you’re not careful…he’s FAST!
He must be a pitcher or something; I still have a kink in my neck from when my package tagged me. 
I know how fast he is, I ordered batteries on Monday and got them on Wednesday which is coast to coast.
Just have to figure out what to buy.
Thinking about 2 of each host using different combo’s
Any ideas???
When do you think you will have the XP-G2 3C on noctigon back in stock?
There are more on the way as we speak, I expect that they should be here in 7-10 days (holiday shipping slowdown has begun!)
A few other things that are on the way:
I guess that your orders arrive via DHL or similar.. if its DHL, no worries, Germans dont know how to slow down. :P
Thanks, RMM. XPE2 would throw real nice. I’m building a thrower for a non-Flashaholic so want to drive it just hard enough to be real bright but not worry about a novice cooking it. Any suggestions of how many amps to drive it at?
According to Match's testing, I would say that somewhere around 1.8-2.0 amps is the sweet spot. A qlite with 3 chips removed (for 5 total) should give you right around 1.9 amps. Looks like the XP-E2 has a fairly low vF so you should be able to maintain maximum brightness and regulation for a long time even on a single 18650.
I've been too swamped to get the pictures up, but the following are available now at the store:
Are you sure they’re XP-E2 R4 3C and not supposed to be 1C?
Good catch! You're right, they are 1C. Trying to do too much at once! Thanks for the heads up.
I guess Employee of the Month for November goes to Valerie. 
I hereby officially nominate Valerie for Employee of the Year and Honorary Flashaholic Supply Guru! Hear Ye Hear Ye!
