Help me with Manafont Order + Giveaway.

The manafont ultrafire three mode linked to by Mr.Administrator is one of the most popular around here with good reason. It has been tested as having more than 800 lumens out the front. That will light up the whole house. I don’t see the need for more than one battery unless you are also thinking of using the longer flashlight as a defensive tool. In that case I think that any higher voltage XML will be fine. The XML is awesome.

Did you find one that matches the L2p (HA-III, matte black) or are you planning on using the 18650 tube for the L2 (HA-II, somewhat glossy black)???

From one of Foy’s posts he talked about being surprised of receiving the haIII version so maybe that’s all they send if u purchase 1. As far as dropins go manafont sells a few versions of the ultrafire dropin. KD sells the later u2 version which foy reviewed to be whiter and brighter. If you’re going with the ssts you’ll probably want more heat transfer and a bigger host. It would be nice though to give an sst 50 a try but you can’t leave it on for too long. Also make sure you wrap the dropin with AL or copper foil/tape. That’s really nice of you to do a giveaway Thx

I'll vote for the Manafont XML drop-in as well. Been meaning to order one, but haven't yet (need host or battery for my 6p). Sure read a lot of good things on it.

I would go with the SST-50 . . .

. . . because I already have enough of the Ultra Fire T6 drop-ins. If you don't yet have that drop-in (the one evrybody is suggesting) you should do yourself a favor and get one. If you already have a few T6 drop-ins, I would absolutely go with the SST-50.

Why do I suggest that? Because I don't yet have an SST-50 and I want one badly so, if you choose me we'll both be happy.

You asked ..and everyone said the same thing ..http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/ultrafire-cree-t6-3mode-memory-led-dropin-module-42v-max-p-5178

why??

#1 no disco modes .. you have them already and who needs more lights with them ..

#2 bright as hell ..huge flood . I have lots of bright lights .. this one is WOW every time you turn it on .

#3 I wouldn't run a pair of unprotected 18650's back to back ..no matter many you have .. how's your homeowners insurance ?/ do you like your left hand ??..run a single and keep lots of spares handy ..will make a nice big light . I wish I had 60 nifty laptop batteries

.. The good ones like Panasonic are hard to beat

#3 above. +1

Ok the clear winner is the Ultrafire T6 so I'll be ordering those. The lucky # is 13 so tbenedict PM Me an address and when it arrives, I will send it on. Thanks for the help gang.

Congratulations Tbenedict

wiljen that was a very nice thing to do .tbenedict will be a very happy camper

Thanks very much wiljen for doing this, we all enjoyed it. And it created a useful discussion too about dropins. Congratulations also to tbenedict!

No kidding, thanks!!!! I've been wanting one of these for quite a while and I have never one a raffle.

Now I need to decide on a L2P or a 17650 for my 6p....L2P gray sure is pretty and leans itself to muli-modes.

I'm tickled poopless, very kind gesture.

Congrats, tbenedict! You will love it!

Well done tbenedict

You get a free Drop-in

Thanks, feel a little guilty getting something for free, but very appreciative.

You or tbenedict will not regret this dropin!

Very nice of you to do this drawing it was fun!!!

Gz TB! :)

Very generous of you wiljen, as others have said neither of you will b disapointed :)

My order arrived today and I am well pleased with the Xm-l. I am forwarding Tbenedict's winnings on either tomorrow or monday when I get to the PO. Thanks again for the help gang.

Spending other peoples money is an art .
