New AA XP-G R5 interesting lights at DX!

Problem is, I don't fancy buying one to find out. And then have to start filing off the silly teeth again. Think I'll pass on this one but will be interested to hear what any buyers think.

But, I think they will arrive next year. I will keep you well informed.

No - they have not learned - No memory

Do you trust 100% specifications given at DX?

I trust 100% that the DX specifications are likely to be inaccurate in some important way.

OK dont worry, Memory mode is not 100% necesary for me. At least it will be my first xpg-R5 light. (the other one I ordered is for a gift)

Then probably I will not purchase any more until the arrival of XM-L flashlights (interesting ones)......... (hope it will be on January or earlier)

SO, they will arrive in 2010?

Not here.

Not only HK Post having problems - our postal system still uses a lot of trains and the nearest working train on the east coast of Scotland is 200km south of here.

See my rant in the snow topic.

Saw the new K10 this morning, looks very interesting. Lots of lumens per buck. Can't decide on 6 or 1 mode.

I ordered 1 single mode and 1 six mode

I'm looking forward to the reviews!

I will do, but probably next year (sadly)

Better no memory at all than next mode problem.

Yep! Look what happens with the TF F20....

Oh man! Both are "packaging". Very fast

How much money have you made from referral links?

Btw, the recoil thrower.... is the emitter placed in that silly metal arm? Seems reasonable due to the name and technology behind but how about heatsinking?!?

Arghh wrong thread!

From 19 november till today, no money, only 52 pending points................ very sad

Hey folks, looks like this flashlight is arriving to some people and giving the first impressions. Both of mine left HK on tuesday, so next monday or tuesday should arrive to my hands. Impressions given at DX forums:

Positive:
- Light output comparable with UF R5 (he says that on MED mode it has same output than some other Q5 in HIGH mode, both with 14500)
- good tailcap switch
- orings everywhere except behind the glass
- Driver accepts 14500 without damage
- good machinnig

Negative:
- Bad functioning the memory mode (reminds me the F20)
- No oring behind the glasss
- threads not lubed and some bad soldering


Umm I am anxious to receive both of mine!. I will give impressions and review (still 8 flashlights pending review!)

They said no problem with 14500 too, which is what killed my Uniquefire S10 before I even had a chance to take it outside. 6 modes is 3 too many, but this sounds like it could be a good choice for a small light with XP-G at a good price. Looking forward to your review of both lights once you get them.

OK Hope I will receive them next week
