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!!.
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. ) and a free fridge magnet/bottle opener, everything seems to work great so far.
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… ……… 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. :~
Well i just got two deliverys from Exduct. Yesterday I got an android mini PC unfortunately with some intermittent bad power connection. Can use usb for power, but then you lose the possibility to connect a mass storage device. However, quite quick delivery with HK post, took 13 days. Today I got a Navy k602 from them. Delivered with CN post in just 12 days. Very impressive knife I think. Came razorsharp and nicely built.
Two of these black 980L clones from ebay vikicompany (Buy In Coins was on the package label)
These two are nicer than my first bronze clone.
The bodies are almost identical to the original 980L
Alloy bezels instead of stainless, but I expected that
No springs on drivers unlike another someone got that broke off
Brighter than my bronze clone
Threads lubed, good O rings
Tail-stand ok.
5 Mode, defaults to high
Decent lanyards if you like that sort of thing
Nice feel to the switch
Nicer beams and tighter hotspot too. No bad rings or artefacts. There is a minute dot not as bright in the centre of the beam, you can only see it when you move the light. I doubt it will be visible in use. One in particular has a smaller smaller and brighter hotspot than the other. That one has a tighter beam than my original and it looks to be brighter too. The colour is whiter than my 980L, which has a nice warm tint.
Al in all, I am very happy with these two lights. They are much nicer than the other clone I have and I think they are 95% or more of the original 980L
Forgot to add, they are branded UltraFire T6-13 on the head, similar to the originals marking. The ano is a little more textured and shinier than the original too.
