What you got today

I like!

Nice score.

I got a neutral XM-L Balder SE-1 from CQG. Bit odd, the clip seems the wrong way round. It’s as shown on the photos on Ric’s site, but different from the reviews here, and on Intl Online. I think it’s because the battery tube is on the wrong way. Trouble is, I can only get the tailcap off - I can’t shift the head. Nice and floody light with a 14500 in it.

Also got the Intl Outdoor P60 drop-in. I wanted the neutral version, but the one I’ve been sent looks pretty much the same as the Manafont UF 3 mode drop-in - if anything it’s whiter. I’ve emailed Hank.

I received my P-60 drop-in (from you Erik lol) & an using it in a 501B (also from Erik). I”m loving it. I actually use mine in a niteize head band. I put the light forward toward the tail cap & the weight from the front of the light holds the head at the perfect angle. I just did a run time on med with a Panasonic CGR18650ea & got 5 hrs. of bright light from the P60. I could drop it one level (still plenty of light) & get around 10 hrs. Very good indeed. This drop-in has a very pleasing tint, nice floody hot spot with a artifact free corona.

Thanks, I spent a lot of time focusing the reflector so you get a perfect beam. I glad you like the drop in, you should get many trouble free years of service from it if you take care of it.

I bought a brand-new (without box) Fenix E21 on eBay tonight for $24.95 shipped.

It’s the CW version, which is exactly what I wanted since this will be used as a bike light. I find that the way that cool white beams reflect off of things is better for this purpose.

Anyways, I think I got a really great deal for less than $25.

I”m not sure I follow you Woody when you say “I can”t shift the head”. Do you mean you can”t “remove the head”? I have the SE1 from LH with the “head up” clip & I can remove the head but can”t turn the tube around as the guts are glued inside the end of tube. I got this one so as to clip on my ball cap (plus LH ships faster) & then I ordered the one from IO with the head down clip (LH did not have this one). This has become my EDC because of the very nice NW beam, 14500 brightness & it”s small lightweight form.

Sorry, I meant I can’t get the head off. Maybe I’m just a weakling. Not too bothered though, and as you say, handy to clip on to a cap. At first, I thought there were a load of things I don’t like - clip wrong way round, no memory, starts on high. But it does have a very nice beam on 14500 (haven’t tried eneloops yet), and for some uses, starting on high isn’t a problem, so I’m quite happy with it.

Oh, and Hank is sorting out the drop-in problem. He’s a good guy.

Received my Skyray King today. I can see what the fuss is all about with this light. Shame about the lack of body colour choice but the side switch more than makes up for it. Batteries charged and fitted and can’t wait to try it out tonight to compare it with my Fenix TK41 for throw at 75 metres (the nearest white wall from my front garden).
It was the longest day in the UK two days ago so it will be quite a while before it gets dark tonight but at least the nights will be closing in earlier every day, Hooray!!.

:bigsmile: Paul :bigsmile:

Don't worry. It's just the new design. See my post here.

Thanks the. I must have seen that thread before I ordered it, but forgot about it. It would have been good if it went on both ends, but never mind, it’s really growing on me. The clip is a little weak, but the light still looks better with it on.

Got my order from dinodirect today, I got a 5 mode Uniquefire solarfarce L2m , some extra ultrafire 16350s (that are longer than the 16350 that came with the flashlight even though they are supposedly the same unprotected ultrafire 880mAh 3.6 V batts. :expressionless: ) and a free fridge magnet/bottle opener, everything seems to work great so far.

got a flashlight today from .CN, registered letter

Got home today and large box at my front door. Maybe a gift from The Shadow. :bigsmile: err no. Damn it- What has my wife been buying. |( Checked the label. It’s a parcel for my neighbour. :cry: Damn it. Take the parcel to my neighbour who opens the door in a skimpy negligee… :wink: ……… No- not really. :weary: She is old and has a moustache. :Sp Damn it again. My postman sucks and now I wonder if he delivered a parcel to the wrong person, that belonged to me, would they give it to me. I can only hope. :~
