Thanks heaps for that information. I just wanted a cheap zoomie for the missus. Seems like at $8.70 I might have slightly overpaid, but oh well.
I’ll be running it off a 14500, so if it gets anything close to 240 lumen I’ll be very impressed.
Me, I’m a bit conflicted about the L2P body as it isn’t all that budget. Not that it is expensive. I’d go for the L2M body instead though at the sort of resolution involved I doubt anyone would see the difference. Skyray King shots forthcoming. And that really, really isn’t budget. Unless you compare it to any other 3 XM-L light. And I have several
I think the choices reflect well on forum membership.
To be fair, I wont own an sk68 as I dislike zoomies, wont own a soloarforce l2* as I dislike p60’s (flash pilot rather eloquently underlined all the reasons I won’t, and since I’ve found a well built p60 sized diy host, size is not a factor) and probably wont own a king because the price of a good one from a trusted seller is too close to an sl3 and I prefer the sl3.
Still, the new banner should look good…. :bigsmile:
Er, the winning lights were decided quite a while ago… SK-68, SRK, and the SF L2p. I still think the C8 should have been #3 (since the two C8 entries had a higher total vote than the L2p), but it was a close call between P60 host and C8 anyway.
And a year and a half later, the three (or four) lights chosen still seem like they do a good job representing the spirit of BLF. They are iconic budget lights, and thus a good choice for our, uh, icons.
