pill fits in head,this speaks abductions of the heat bad
My order finger is twitching................
I think the pill is screwed into part of the body and then also screws into the head, so it should be rather good at transfering heat :)
Can you get replacement reflectors for these?
thread on pill allows to install pill in head only.
If my eye I do not defraud:)
I just made one like it myself with KD 2.8 driver and a XM-L led. A Report on that will follow in the next day. So far the impressions are good. It's a XM-L thrower! (i have a SMO refelctor). I'ts truly a sight to behold. I tought iwas a bit meh but then i realized i did not switch to high yet. :P Dang! I lit half the street where i live with the spill and annoyed pedestrians 100-m away with prison tower worthy spotlight. I fiddled with it almost an hour to center it perfectly (by trial and error) and it pays off!
Luxmeter showed around 38000lux at 1m... I got the feeling it was too high and retested it a few times... Within margin of error.
This is what a thrower should be althrough the spill is still plentifull, not those silly pencil beam throwers or "white lasers" which are nice to play but almost useless.
Left the body on high on my desk for 20min. Very hot! not possible to hold for more than 5 seconds. Switched off and took out the battery and found out it was just barely warm which is good!
The sag is still present but it is waaaaaay lower than any of my P60 XM-L dropins.
The body SS ring that hosts the pill seemed a weak point for heatsinking but turned out it is not that bad. The mass of the body helps. I managed to do a good job on heatsinking but 9W is still 9W to handle... 3.2Vf * 2.8A = ~9W
The KD driver is a beauty!
It's not a tK35 but me likes!

Well i couldn't resist my little finger had a mind of it's own and before i knew what was going on i had bought and paid for it 
lets hope its as good as budgeteer's light !! if not i have a could always swap the driver for one of the KD ones :-)
I don't have a C8 to compare but looks (beamwise) better to me. Beamshots to follow during the week!
had it in my cart as soon as i saw it and purchased last night. I did'nt care if i had no idea what driver was in it as i wanted this body anyway and was going to mod it. Theres always that KD driver and maybe a U2.
All of you who did purchase this please consider also the SMO reflector of the C8 that should fit in it (dimension wise) along. I really like the SMO in that one. I have too many P60 rather floody XM-L's. Thank me later.
I have a SMO c8 reflector on the way and will confirm this in a week if someone is willing to wait and play it safe with the reflector.
Is that reflector available on its own ?
Besides the C8 SMO reflector question, I would very much like to know the current drawn on Hi and Lo with stock driver.
(Itching all over.)
I can't wait to see what you guys say when you get yours in the mail. That torch is the hotness in my eyes! Been spending way too much money the last month but I will be ordering this baby in a month or two.
I THINK, if I converted it correctly, that it works out to around 882 lumen which is well within the potential output and isn’t too shabby. I’ve already put in my order with my gal to have this wrapped and waiting for me come Father’s day! 
I've had rather an expensive month, so I'll hold off on this until the reviews are in as well.
Bah! That sounds far to sensible :P
Does anyone that has/is getting this light have a KD C8 that you can compare it to?
Still thinking about the Trustfire F15/KD C8/Ultrafire 980L lights.
Wish someone here had more than one of the above lights so we could compare tham.
Nevermind, I just ordered the F15 with a spare SMO reflector. Manafont must love my weakness for their lights.
