If you do something fun with the MPCB, let me know!

You know what I will do to it, what else? The Sherp 15 also too cute to be left alone

I bought the XP-G2 version that was on sale in august for 29€ (shipping included) that is about 34$ :open_mouth:
I was really tempted by a Meteor or a G180 back then when they were first released but the Meteor 219B version was to expensive and the G180 was to low in CRI, I’m very pernickety with CRI since long (it has to be at least CRI95), but this deal was impossible to pass.
I like the external design, the matt finish, the size, the grippy knurling, the included pouch, and above all the UI (fixed modes with direct access to lowest and highest modes from OFF with optional memory).
I’m not a big fan of the carrier but it’s fine since batteries have to be in series. The batteries tube wall is pretty thin though.
I don’t like the CRI at all but at least the tint is OK but with tint shift in the beam (the big neutral hotspot makes this more bearable).

Very nice flashlight overall and a steal at 29€.
It calls for an emitters swap though.
