But Excel is driving me insane. As @^%&^**%&^ ever, Microsoft think they know better than I do what I want. The bottom values reading 1-7 should read 0,5,10,15,20,25,30 but Excel in its infinite arrogance has decided I can't have that as I'm clearly too stupid to know what I want. This is what I hate about every single piece of Microsoft's garbage is has been my bad luck to encounter. This point is close to trying to get XP Home remember wireless settings when it just knows you don't really want it to work so it changes the settings back to "broken". They always try too hard to be clever and fail miserably.
But plastic reflector... I'm still searching for a nice 2*18650 host. I'd prefer one that doesn't look like the average Trustfire (like http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.30683).
I keep an eye on the Sacredfire. It does look a bit like TR-1200 but the pill sits (screws to?) in the body in Sacredfire so I expect better heat transfer.
14mm with T5 & T6 @ Cutter. Still waiting for my second Trustfire R5-A3 to come (hopefully with the new driver & its usable low mode), and just added a KD C8 XM-L T6 to the "waiting for HK" list. Plus a bunch of Romisen XR-E stocking stuffers and another Aurora SH-035 for my dad... And really... I just can't wait for the XM-L.
Just got my XML today. It's very nice! Brighter than my MC-E and without the cross. Mine only seems to pull 2.20amps on high with a Sony 4.20V battery.
Edit: Tried it with a Trustfire flame (real one) and it pulls 2.7amps :)
Fortunately i have a bunch of good cells. A few XTAR 18700 2400 protected - same thing as 18650 protected size wise and some Himax 2600 mAh (formerly known as WOW). Both are pretty decent. Only The XTAR cell have kicked the low voltage protection yet have to see if the himax works.
Waitng for my 4 distrustifre errr... for a refund.
I see you guys were discussing about different tints for the T5 and T6. I don't see any greenish tint from my T6. I think it has the perfect tint. Any comparisons of T6 vs. T5?
Once I got mine outside, I noticed a little bit of greenish tint to it. Not enough to really worry about though. The tint seems to be a lottery with any LED. At CPF people are complaining about the greenish tints on their XP-G S2 Quarks. But I remember people making the same complaint about the R5's when those came out. 4Sevens says they can't control it, and if they are buying all the S2's they can get, they wouldn't be able to be choosy.
They are currently [ yesterday ] clearing all other orders out of the way , so that they can deal with the XM-L T6 orders when the emitters arrive ....
A lot of people at CPF were ordering 2T, but I got 2B. If you want cool white, 1C should do it, but it's hard to say since these things tend to trend towards green. The group buy turned out to be 10 each of 1D, 2T, and 2B.
Cree is probably laughing at us because they are all exactly the same . . .
