Has anybody ordered from joyguy.com? My favorite P-60 host is still my old Hugsby S3 and I was looking for an S2 but this is the only place I can find one.
This site has great pictures and descriptions and many lights I have not seen anyplace else. If anyone has experience ordering here let me know what you think or if you know were I can find one of these from a known trusted vendor that would work to.
I have never ordered from them, or heard of them, but I hope someone chimes in here with info. I want that S2. My Hugsby P31 is my favorite light. I didn’t even know they made a P60 host. I’d kick solarforce to the curb for that one.
Qualitychinagoods has it with a xenon dropin http://www.qualitychinagoods.com/hugsby-policemilitary-tactical-xenon-flashlight-p-1061.html For $16. I don’t know anything about qualitychinagoods either.
A far superior version of the 501B is correct: better coating, better threads, better knurling, better lens, better switch and the head weighs about twice as much as a 501B head resulting in much better heat dispersion. I real like my old S3, but I won't run 3 batteries in line, so the 2 17500 batteries it takes limits it's useability. I have left it firearm mounted for over a year now, so I would really like the 18650 size light to play around with.
I am not a big fan of e-bay but that will probably be the way I go if I don't hear back about joyguy.com.
I might try my luck with that Ali-dealer. I like the 501B/C series form-factor-wise, but the built quality is only mediocre. Have you tried some high power dropins in your Hugsby? How is the heat management?
My Hugsby S2 from Quality China Goods ordered on the 06/27/2011 arrived today, but this light can't take CR123 as described on their website here. The battery tube has an inner diameter of 13.6 mm so there is no way that 2xCR123A with a diameter of 16 mm would fit. Not even AAs with a diameter of 14 mm would fit . So their description is wrong.
Battery tube diameter is 21mm and head diameter 28.5 mm. Dropin is not a P60, but a generic one. Wow , you are right it is a front loader and no 18650 would fit... only 123 batteries. What a horrible design. So I have to remove the dropin every time when I want to change the batteries? Dropin diameter is 23 mm opposed to 26.5 mm for the P60 dropins I have.
