New New Solarforce L2M

Spotted by Sandalian on Facebook this morning, and posted in Foy’s quick update, I thought this merited a new thread.

“I just check their Facebook page, there’s new version of L2M body.

Solarforce L2M 2012 Version cost $12.99, and the old one dropped to $9.99”

Looks good, with a non-crenelated bezel. Looks like the “old” L2M’s will be finished when they sell out (though SF’s wording is ambiguous - perhaps the offer of $9.99 will be over. Anyway, good deals all round.

Hi Woody, Im helping you a bit…” Here”:solarforceflashlight-sales.com - Informationen zum Thema solarforceflashlight sales. is the link to the New version $12.99

And here the link to the older version $9.99

We like direct links :wink:

Thanks - totally forgot about embedding the links in the other thread. In fact, I’m not sure how to pull a post from one thread to another.

I can`t help you with the latter either…

Good deal either way if you ask me.

Welcome to BLF, Horst.

Looking at the tail pieces, is there any way to tell the new 3A switch from the older switch?

I thought I got the newer ($12) model a few weeks ago but it came with the pointy bezel, so now I’m wondering.

Sorry. I didn’t mean to blow your cover.

^ BTW, what kind of machete is that?

Welcome aboard, Horst Horstmann!

I saw that also…nice bezel!

Welcome Horst.

Yay, nice bezel.
I think I’m gonna buy the new one.

I thought I got the newer ($12) model a few weeks ago but it came with the pointy bezel (and blank, nothing painted on the body) so now I’m wondering.

Anyone know if this new tailcap unit (complete, not just the switch) has its own model/part number to buy separately?
I think it’s this one: http://www.solarforceflashlight-sales.com/product_detail.php?id=125&s=18&t=FA

Also, does anyone make a properly threaded switchless shorter tailpiece to make these a twisty light?

Aside — sloppy description could mislead someone not very familiar with this stuff.
Solarforce says: “Tail-cap standard (forward) click switch”

To be clear, “tail-cap standard” means this configuration WILL NOT “tail-cap stand”
— it will fall right over if you try to make it stand up on its base, since the rubber switch cover sticks out.

Yeah, Solarforce sales site is the gold standard for clear, concise descriptions. Potential customers are never left wondering what the flack does all that shite mean.
