So . . . a little more aggression this time it seems.

Within limits.
The limits to be defined by training.
Going for a dog rather than a bitch this time - Fizz was a "rescue" dog from a breeder that had decided to downsize from giant schnauzers to papillons and border terriers.

ROFL! Foy, you can only shoot your mouth off one light at a time! You had better hope that nothing ever meets or beats your 980L the way you evangelize it. 
No problem Don,
I understand that we use for this purpose the best equipment.
I also ordered thisone for my daily walk with my best friend Gypsy (Border Collie)
Congrats, glad to know that you are going for a new assistent
It cannot replace the one you had for many years, but it helps you to get over it and after a matter of time you gonna love your new friend.
It took me 2 years to get over the lost of Lady (King Charles Cavalier), but now Gypsy is almost more than 1 year with us, I am realy happy to have back a best friend.
I have a visiting hound just now.
Sonny!
The manic Cocker Spaniel. The soundtrack is from his owner 20 years ago when he worked for me.
"evangelize"
Dear heaven above, is that what I sound like? Perhaps I need to move the appointment with my therapist up a little sooner. My condition is becoming much more acute.

Heheheh...it's all good. It's good for the soul to find something you enjoy and are excited to share with others. We all need a little more of that in our lives. :) If we all find something that sparks our enthusiasm and share it with the others here we will be able to broaden our horizons and try new things we would have missed out on otherwise. ;)

I don't spend a lot of time trying understand what it is about a damn flashlight I find so facinating . . . wonder what it is?

Got mine yesterday,
Hooray, thisone is now the longest in my collection
First impressions,
very, very bright but not the throw skills like my Olight SR91 (was not surpriced)
It illuminates everything like daylight in front of you for about 20 meters.
A real flooder with nice throwing capacities.
But what a very strange size, a real pipeline
It gets warm, but way not like the UF 980L.
Gonna take it out this evening for the second time, but it's get not so dark here these day's, it's almost full moon.
Thommy, how's the current draw with 2 and 4 x 18650? 4S is really a lot, really need to make sure to balance them cells properly. 2 is manageable and would be very safe with good cells like Solarforce, XTAR, Sanyo/Panasonic/Samsung or IMR. With flat top cells, it is best not to use magnets but drop a blob of solder and file the top part down a bit. Need to wrap the drop-in good with aluminum/copper foil real tight.
I ordered the Sky Ray version from Manafont, 2 x 18650 only. How much is the shipping from Shenzhen Wholesale?
Thanks for the safety tips 2100
wrapped the drop-in real tight with alu-foil, head and first battery tube gets faster warm now.
I also did some measurements on the talcap:
Batteries: Soshine 2800mAh protected.
4-bat : 1.3 A
3-bat : 1.77 A
2-bat : 0.06 A
Seems the driver needs more than 8v to work, with two batterys I have only very low lightoutput.
Output with 4 bat seems a little more brighter than configuration with three bat.
I am thinking of bying a luxmeter, any suggestions are welcome please...
Payed 9.9 USD shipping to Belgium (Europe)
The guys here like Extech, not sure how's the pricing like.... But if you are looking for lower cost stuff this is it. (the extra money can go for buying more lights)

I think even for the cheap meters, you can do A/B comparisons between your flashlights, batteries (how do good and bad batteries vary the intensity) etc. You can measure very powerful lights at a distance like 10m and then calculate "backwards".
3-cell and 4-cell both are around the same power. The light is probably about 20W. That is good, each XM-L is getting about 1.8A.....would be really efficient and not contribute to much heat, it might not be as bad as it seems.
Looks like thommy's got an SR90 and a 980L. And, there seem to be more than a few Solarforce lights in attendance.

Seem pretty awesome light at great price, but I'm not sure about using at least 3 cells. More work than need be for the lazy, since good 18650's can handle 2C or ~5A. Crappy ones are maybe 1C, so probably shouldn't use those in the MF light if it's well driven.
That's why I am intend to buy the Xtar WP6 II charger, not more work to do when recharging the 4C at the same time
2C light with 3x XM-L is also nice, more manageable to carry, but what would be the runtime with these three little suns on running high in the head???
Let's hope we got a review soon from the 2C MF 3x XM-L.
who's to blame I got these nice Solarforces
Btw, just to clarify, when I used 1C/2C I mean discharge rates. 1C = 1 times the rated capacity of cell in Ah, meaning it discharges the cell in 1hr.
So, say with 5A draw on 1 cell of 2500mAh, or 2C, runtime is 30min. With good driver, it'll cut to 2.5A on 2 cells (1C), and 1hr runtime.
Maybe considering to buy 4pieces of AW 18650 IMR.
Seems to be more safe to use these IMR in serie.
I have no experience with IMR, so got a few questions...
Will these IMR not destroy the driver?
They have only a low capacity of 1600 mAh/ cell, this will increase the runtime???
Shall the light perform the same output power as with Li-Ions?
Help please, these IMR are new for me.
Took some pics, 3 meter to the white wall
UF980L (left) versus ZY-2400 3x XM-L
Trustfire TR1200 5x Q5 WC (left) versus ZY-2400 3xXM-L
As you can see, the triple XM-L is not realy a thrower but the raw power of the triple XM-L makes it that it will illuminate everything wide in front of you to daylight for more than 30 meters. It also throws a lot furter, but not as the real throwers with a tight hot-spot.
This is definetly the light you wanna take with you when you lost something in the dark fields
I am already dreaming of this beast
100mm head with 3x XM-L woooow
But also the price, let's keep on dreaming (or robbing a bank 
i have ordered the triple cree xml sounds like it could be a great bike light i have no knoledge or tools for moding but i have a turboferret 4x 18650 bat holder linked to a single dummy cell could i use this , a broad even beam is best for mountainbiking at night hot spots reduce overall visability currenty i have a troutie 6x xpg r5 , would apreciate advice
