What have you got on order and why :)

I just bought a DEFT EDC ...........=) =)

Bugger. BC40 on backorder at MF to.

Wow, you got some nice lights there...!

Thank you, I can't wait to get them. I also Bought a DEFT EDC today off ebay.

Only if you're wearing paisley ...

On topic : I ordered a 501a and some 18350s from Manafont . I plan to install a neutral 5 mode E1320 XPG dropin .

Because I wanted a small pocket rocket .

I also ordered some 14500s to try out in my now functional Balder SE-1 .

Is there a clip for the 501a ?

Ordered 2x 2-Packs of the new Trustfire 3000mAh 18650s from Manafont based on the favorable review here. Price only slightly higher than the 2400. It has been dispatched, I hope they ship before Manafont shuts down.

Have a DRY from the group buy, and a Sunwayman V60C en route! Cant wait! My hi-max 18650's arrived today, so hopefully they fit the DRY!

Both because the price was right. $70 for the DRY and a holster shipped, and $95.71 for the SWM V60C shipped. Unbeatable!

I have a DRY triple on the way. :)

I am also waiting on my V60C to come in, what a deal for a $200 light The Dry is a great light also.

I just ordered the E15 which is able to run on 2AA, 1AA or 1 14500. I expect the 1AA to be very similar to the Xeno EO3 so it should be a versatile little light. It was only $26, so I chose it over some other more expensive options (4Sevens, Shiningbeam) that also use 1AA or 2AA, and I bought 2x 18650 IMR and 2x 14500 IMR from the same China vendor. This is my 3rd purchase from this particular source and the Xeno prices are considerably less expensive than elsewhere, even with shipping costs factored in.

For the first time, someone asked me to order a flashlight for them. Manager at the sports bar we frequent after cycling is always asking to look at my latest light. He's been admiring my AA CQG S2 for quite a while, which is my EDC light.

While I was at it, had to get a little sumthin sumthin for myself, so I ordered it's AAA little brother, the CQG S1:

Meanwhile my EOSLAMP SP11 AAA from IOS is still a no-show. Sunday is 6 weeks from order and I'm traveling all week, so unless it arrives tomorrow it's going to a Paypal dispute. Shame, I've really been looking forward to it coming in the mail.

I have a UF-T50 on the way from Manafont. It shipped supposedly about 2 weeks ago so it could arrive anytime or it could take another 2 weeks :slight_smile:
I ordered it as a replacement for my P60 as I’m trying to get away from tail cap switches. This would mean all the most frequently used lights are now free of crenelation and tail cap switches. I have no strobe lights that aren’t hidden.

Romisen N3 from Dino... I always wanted to check it out and it was cheap 14.39 after coupon.

I bought a couple of sipik 68's from MF. Why? I felt like buying something and told myself I will put one in each car for emergencies.

Finally ordered the XM-L S-Mini and a pack of misc O-Rings from Shining Beam. New discount code BLFUSER worked like a charm! I've been wanting this light forever. I'll get the XP-G version later....

Also pulled the trigger on a N-Light ST60 from CN Quality Goods. I have been really impressed with the quality and performance of my ST50 and I like the versatility of the 60, as it can run on 1x or 2x 18650, plus it has a similar UI to the 50 (turbo mode with a head twist). Should make a great handlebar bike light in the 1x mode, basically a C8 style with smooth reflector. Hardly any info on this light out there.

To power the new lights, ordered 2x XTAR and 2x HiMax 2600mAh from ProtactalShop on ebay.

A Fluke 289 DMM. Do I need it? nope. I already have a perfectly good Fluke 189 that's served me well for 10+ years. So why did I buy it? Good question...

I have ordered these zoomies in the last few weeks.

None have arrived yet and I have yet to own a zoomable light, not counting Maglites.

Why? Let me count the ways.

I am trying to kill several birds with one stone.

I have had no interest in lights with aspheric lenses until I purchased a Dereelight and these little cheap zoomies have peaked my interest.

I have read here on this forum that there is a definate lottery factor when buying these lights. So I am going to order two or three of the AA/14500s a month and sort through them and play with them and keep the best of the best.

As for the leftovers...

Every year my family gets together for Christmas and I think I am going to show up with a bag of these to hand out. I also think I can sell these around the shop to subsidize this little zoomie phase.

I have been spending money on flashlights, batteries, chargers, etc, at an embarrassing rate the last two or three years and hopefully this plan will keep my head in the flashlight game and keep a steady flow of packages coming to satisfy my insatiable flashaholic tendencies without breaking the bank. I might even get some golfing and fishing in.

Also, these cheap zoomables seem to be plentiful on Ebay. I just recently signed up on Ebay and am still a little green when it comes to bidding and such. Buying and bidding on these less than $10.00 lights will help me get my feet wet without risking too much.

That's my story and I am sticking to it... maybe.

swm t20cs on the way..why? cus I couldn't resist it lol

How do you think the Small Sun ZY-A4 comares to the Small Sun ZY-C10-S ????
