Man... I think these companies are starting to figure it out. It even has knurling!
I'll probably buy it either way if reports are good. If the lens works I'll find a suitable case to carry everything and use it both ways...
-Now if Xtar would just make a 5000mAh 26700 and the matching XTAR WP2 "III" ...we would all be VERY happy...
-are you listening out there XTAR and szwholesale...?
-while I am at it -how perfect would it be to have the option for a second battery tube on here... imagine 2 -26700's blasting 3 amps...
OK -I'm just dreaming... but it would still be nice
I don't have one on order yet and have exceeded my monthly "allowance" (even spent next month’s too!) Somebody get one in yet and tell me just how good this is!!! –maybe I’ll be convinced to spend by February’s allotment…
...why does the picture of the flashlight in the hand look like it is more like a 100mm bezel size rather than just 63mm
For those interested in a multi xm-l configuration, this one looks exactly the same body but being 3 XM-L:
A version with extension tube, would be appreciated by many of us, wouldn't it?
Interesting!
I've always wanted a short stubby, instead of a long thinnie...
This might be the 'tweener light for me!
King-Kong, here I come!
That is really tempting, thanks for the info how2.
Ordered this morning :)
This configuration will meet my needs perfectly, if the light is reliable.
On the downside, now I have to hold off ordering

for my MCU-C88 with U2 1C XML (modded by E1320 - Erik) so that my wife does not freak out about me spending money right before Xmas, LOL. Reached my limit for a while. Going to use alkalines in the C88, probably until after the holidays.
it is a good light,how much?
You obviously have the links in the posts, and also prices.
So please stop spamming with different usernames.
I ordered the one with 3 leds, it seems to be great light if driver is made right way, otherwise, what to use there to feed 3x xml?
1) Direct-drive
2) Manafont 3 x XM-L driver (2- or 3-cell)
3) DRY driver from cnqualitygoods.com (3-cell only)
4) NANJG 2.8a 3-driver sandwich
Wait a minute... the DRY is wired with the LEDs in parallel?
Series.
Then the DRY driver isn't going to work with a single 26650, unless it has a boost circuit (which I'm fairly certain it doesn't).
A 9A driver from kaidomain and parallel the leds?
Or would the Vf difference fry them?
You are correct. I was answering the more generic question of what 3 x XM-L drive options were available.
The Manafont driver is buck/boost, but 2-cell minimum.
The NANJG driver sandwich is the only one-cell option of which I'm aware.
I have a KD SST90 driver, and it's closer to 6.5A than 9A. It requires 2-cells as well.
If this 26650 torch has a single driver pushing 3 XM-Ls, then it's a new boost driver that we've been waiting for. I'm skeptical, but hopeful that that's the case.
I have no experience with that new driver. I ordered two for testing, and will report back. Thanks for the link.
