I like the side clicky
Great review as usual old!
That would be correct (not to speak for Troop, but he did call it his favorite at the time he received it and I had been thinking about getting this one for a long time based on his glowing recommendation which seems to be corroborated by Old.)
Damn you OLD. I just had to get one.
Absolutely. I've had mine for about 2 months, and love it. Especially the side clicky, and the stainless end pieces. Very classy looking light, easy to pocket, natural to hold. Even though it throws well, there is a lot of spill with it too.
I wonder if they will come out with an XM-L version of it soon? No real reason not to...
Old , or anyone that knows , is the pill solid or hollow under that black disc ?
I'm still waiting for mine. It had better come tomorrow!
Black disc , that is just an insulator , what you mean does the pill have a dirty great big hole in it where the emitter sits = no ,
but is it hollow like a p60 pill , to accommodate the driver = yes
poor bugger , Im think the same thing every day , Im also waiting on a order not the T2 but a Solarforce order suposedly posted 7-18 registered ??? no sign of it when I enter tracking number doesnt exist , I know how ya feel ...it had better come today...maybe 2mora
EDC, did you ever get your T2? What do you think of it?
I bought this flashlight and it's pretty nice, I just wanted to know if I need protected cells for this because I have a bunch of salvagaed laptop cells in good shape, does the lamp come with protection circuit?
you should'nt need protected cells for this light, all my 18650s are from batt packs. being a single cell light, should be safe. good if you had a voltmeter to be on the safe side.
Thank you, I just put a cell on it and will leave it on until it goes off and then check the cell voltage to see how low did it go.
You're welcome,just make sure it does'nt get too hot.
If anyone with this light gets a chance, could you measure the diameter of the driver and the emitter star? I've got one on order from Manafont and would like to replace the emitter with an XM-L and the driver with an 8x7135.
Thanks,
Kris
Oh man, this light is so interesting. The biggest drawback is the low mode is way too high. I'd love a BLF version of this light. Kill the flashy modes, make the mode levels useful that includes a moonlight mode, anodize the tailcap threads so it can be locked out, and update the LED.
Gords modded his, but don't recall what he did exactly - it's beggin for an XP-G2 at the least, preferably on the new 16mm SinkPAD coming (think it's 16mm or maybe 14mm)... I got a T2, just didn't get around to look'n into it yet.
Hi, I added an xp-g r5 4c and a 1.7a nanjg. You need to use a 1 sided driver due to the set up and a 16mm star.
A neutral white sinkpad xp-g2 @ 2.5 amp would be awesome but would get hot real fast, it heats up at 1.7a tbh.
That said, I love this little light, its not brilliant in a trouser pocket due to no tailcap. lock out but I easily forgive its faults just looking at how pretty it is.
I might get one to mod in those other things I want, but I don't think I could or would anodize those threads myself.
i have one in my collection and nicest little flashlight that you can have for under 20 dollars.
