Wow Don, thanks for all the beamshots/work. For those of us with little to no collection of lights, this helps out a lot. What host are you using for the Manafont XM-L drop-in?
Nice shoots Don.
Can you re-roder then with the Xm-L ,xpg and xre etc.
Thanks Don! I'm glad you and the assistant are having lots of fun. That area reminds me a lot of Alaska but with a whole lot less snow.
Solarforce L2m with a KD coated glass lens. If you've had the light a while, the coated lens gives you something like two brightness bins increase in light output. Just cleaning the plain glass one gave something like a bin's worth of increased output.
Thanks pal. Wanna guess what I'm ordering when I get home from work?

Can do, quite easily.

I took a few lights (126 of them to be precise)
Welcome back Don! Its a good thing that you brought along only a small portion of your flashlight collection, or else your car might have bottomed out from all the extra weight! There’s nothing better than being able to use flashlights out in the woods and away from the ambient city light. Its quite obvious that you had a lot of fun with them. Thanks for the great pics. The Manafont XM-L dropin sure puts out an unbelievable amount of light for a P60.
Huge thanks Don for the awesome shots. They really put into perspective how powerful some of those lights are, especially the xm-l's. This will be a very handy reference. Muchly appreciated:)
Don, is that Manafont sku# 5720 ? How/what are you running it in?
I think I am going to have to get one of those
Don, also thank you very much. Your pictures are indeed a great point of reference for these lights
So while we're in the question asking phase of this thread , do you have the sku for the coated lens at KD? I'll owe you a beamshot with Texas coyotes in it.

Yes, that's the one. Fed with a single 18650. Pity it isn't 8.4V capable for use with 2 18650s for better runtime. It's put in a Uniquefire L2 (Solarforce L2 clone) or a Solarforce L2m. Wrapped with enough foil to make it difficult to shove the dropin into the head - I use the head threads to force the dropin into place.

Sounds good.
Can't remember offhand but I got the link from here.
I'm pretty sure it is 28mm in diameter and I know they were $2.99 each so I think it is this one.
Excellent shots, Don. Looks like Eastward J06 and Manafont XM-L droppin are the winers, a lot of light :O

Combined, they don't make as many lumens as the Varapower. But throw a bit better.
Nice pics Don. I wanted to try out that mouse in/out function for a long time on the 2 XML dropins.
This is the perfect opportunity. Hover with the mouse in or outside the pic below for comparision.
Mouse out= KD
Mouse in = Manafont
wow after seeing the beamshots the kd looks depressing vs that manafont..Don what is your kd drawing on high? I know your manafont is 3.4a..just asking because my kd is drawing 3.2~3.3a with the cell I have in it..just wondering if they're drawing the same where the difference would be coming from? efficiency?
Vectrex, that's a really cool feature. I opened up 3 windows and looked at the 2 XM-Ls and the Varapower. Old school. LOL

After seeing this I had to double check and see whether I ordered from KD or MF.
Whew! Manafont it was.
