Ok. So I bought a L2T host and XP-E, 3-mode drop-in from Solarforce, and I received the host and a XP-G, 3-mode, but it is defective, (pulses about 10-15 time a minute).
I was sent a replacement, and told to keep the first one as a gift, mighty nice eh?
Well it's the same XP-G, 3-mode as the first one.
I e-mailed Solarforce Sales HK and opened a dialog.
I'm a bit aggravated, I don't have much use for the XP-G drop-ins, and really not much use for the L2T host without the XP-E drop-in as ordered.
I wouldn't mind having a tail-switch or possibly another host in the coming months, but I really hadn't planned on buying much Solarforce product in the next few months.
I wanted the XP-E for the L2 I've mounted on an AR-15 as a weapon light, I chose the XP-E for greater throw. I already have an XP-G, that was with my first purchase from Solarforce.
So here are my options as they stand now.
Return the drop-ins and ask for a refund. (I'd insist they pay postage).
I think that they might send an XP-E drop-in when they are back in stock, 5-7 weeks wait, (I'm not sure if I have to send the XP-G drop-ins back).
$7 discount on a PTS-3 tail-switch
$6 discount in a L2T host.
I lean toward waiting for the XP-E drop-in replacement.
I just thought I'd run this scenario by the group, BLFer's, your thoughts?
Thanks.
