What you got today

SAH-weet!! That and the D800 are my dream cameras.

Knurling and engraving are different too. The longer bezel version has different switch parts too.

Well, I didn’t pick this up today, but am new to the forum, so I’ll post it since it’s new to me this year!!

I recently bought a Smith & Wesson flashlight. The thing is pretty bright for the price, and the Duracell Procell batteries that I use in it last a long time also. Anyhow, I liked it well enough that I wrote a review. Great value on this light!

Welcome to BLF Patriot_RAM!

Nice review too!

I have a custom stepped 5 mode 3.5 amp turbo 7B tint XML drop in and a strong Trustfire Flame 18650 in it. I just used it for the first time outside tonight on medium .8 amps about 300lumen and it put out plenty of light to light my whole 16x 24 deck. I changed the battery out at the 3 hour mark and it still had over 3 volts. Very nice setup and I chose the L2M with extension for the host so I can run 18650s, 18350s, 16340s or 2 Cr123s. I highly recommend this setup especially the 7B tint it looks almost incandescent outside.

Congratulations janko!

Hopefully you get accepted for your master degree studies and also to find a job. Good luck!

Welcome aboard, Patriot_RAM!

Received a Balder HD-1 a few days ago, but forgot to say.

Here’s the review:

Yesterday my Mastech LX1330B lux meter arrived from Amazon.

This weekend I hope to complete my integrated sphere (was hoping it would be completed by the time the lux meter arrived) so it would be ready for two new reviews I’ll be starting this weekend. Real OTF lumen numbers and legit maximum throw calculations here I come. Woot!!! :bigsmile:

If you can’t beat em……

Welcome Patriot_RAM

not quite related to the topic but it’s nice explanation why your package takes so long to get from China :bigsmile:

LOL

Vance & Hines straight pipe exhaust for the Sporty!!! Got them used from my brother in law with only a hundred miles on them free of charge. He is selling his bike and let me have the exhaust. Took them home this morning, let the bike cool off, and just finished installing. Wow!! What a difference!

Nice score Vance and Hines makes great pipes. I put a set on my Dads Vulcan 1500 when he had it. I borrowed it for the weekend and gave it back with the pipes and a jet kit installed. I installed it as birthday present and rode it around all weekend until I got the jetting perfect. I think i saw him tear up a little when I dropped it off, best gift ever. You might want to go up on the main 5 points and a couple on the pilot try Jetsrus for the best price.

Just got one of these….
Xtar WK26 :slight_smile:

I am sure they are genuine. The batteries have proper date stamps, and as you can see the charger is too complicated to be fake, build quality is very good. It functions properly. But I am using eneloop pro’s instead of white eneloops that comes with the charger.

I got this yesterday:-

Difflock :: :bigsmile:

Got a dodgy 97c usb charger from meritline. Not even sure I should use it.
A silver SF L2 from ali express. Draws 2.8a from the generic 5 mode led. Not sure if its genuine but looks ok to me.
A lock back bear grills knife, also from ali express: Cost $8 (a joke / gift for a friend)

The car or the femtrooper?

Either way, congratulations.^^

Sadly, the fem trooper is just an old joke on one of the other members, if I had THAT available do you think my interest in flashlights would be as strong? J)

No, what I got was the sensible, practical people carrier, that’s not a toy in the slightest……nossir, no toys here…. :bigsmile:
