no it doesnt. i assumed that no one here would want the charger or batteries. it was something like $6-8 more for the cells and charger. im sure if you wanted them, you could pay the $6-8 more for the charger and cells
Why are they building a new light with old emitters? Why not XML2-U2’s? Can you ask them what it would cost with second generation emitters? You might get more people interested.
i really did not plan on having a factory modded light when i started this. planned on trying to get members a deal on a good looking alternative to the king, and at the best price possible
i had asked them about changes people wanted to make, and they said they do not usually do custom runs of under 1,000 pieces.
I totally agree, sorry for making this hard on you.
Group buys are pretty nice, but comes at a cost of usually a single person sending email back and forth often for no compensation other than the members’ enjoyment.
Thanks for all your efforts Pulsar, and after all, the difference between XM-L and XM-L2 at these brightness levels can only be perceived via equipment.
whether i got this or a king, i was planning on swapping the emitters and driver anyway. texaspyros driver can not be beat, and direct bonded copper stars are really a specialty item at this point.
and you are right, only thing i am getting out of this is the same thing every other person involved is getting. only doing it as a way to give back a little. that and get a little discount on a nice looking host
