New Big Head Side Switch Thrower (maybe Host for modding)

No paypal?

Edit: Sent the paypal funds so now I wait. Will definitely report on it when I get it.
Looking at the photos closely, I’m pretty sure the reflector is plastic but we can hope.

there wasn’t an option in checkout to select paypal, maybe when they send email with shipping info?

I think that’s the only way to it works, when you complete the checkout it just sends an email and they get back to you with a order confirmation and paypal request. Not very professional but hey, if you can’t wait for this light then it may be worth risking it too. :slight_smile:

Interesting light, let us know how you like it!

my boss said he buy one for me on his next big order that should be next week :slight_smile:
so I don’t have to deal with SZ or WU after all

The reflector looks like plastic, but imho it isn’t a big problem. You dont have to mess with insulation.
Maybe it is gonna exile the tn31/k40/x6 etc from the throne of throw for quarter investment?

Good point, the only plastic reflectors I’ve seen have been from really cheap crap lights. If it’s a good quality surface and produces a nice beam profile I guess I wouldn’t care either way.

And if it does suck there’s always the possibility of sticking one of those 64mm aspheric lenses in there instead :slight_smile:

Anyone noticed that it went up to 40$ wiith free shipping?

I have similar small suns with metal and plastic reflectors, and the metal have only about 4-5%increase in kCd than the plastic

“Hello Linus,
Have a nice day !
The reflector cup material is Aluminum Alloy,and the lens is acrylic .
Thanks
Best regard
Jacky”

Take that for what it’s worth but hopefully that’s correct. Seems a bit strange to skimp on the lens and not the reflector but I dunno :stuck_out_tongue:
I guess we won’t know for sure until the first ones start arriving in our mailboxes…

Good find, those high res pictures leave me with little doubt that the reflector in that sample is plastic.
Let’s see what is in the one that I actually get, received shipping confirmation today.

Cheers

Update 22/11/2013
Now available @KD

So close to buying this - KD specs say AL reflector…. interesting to see what Linus ends up with.

I cannot wait to see a tear down of this light. The UI sounds like an SRK, and if it is, it shouldn’t be too difficult in modding it to get more power out of it.

Confirmed I will be back home on 18 December. I am expecting two of these lights along a plethora of lights, bit and pieces to be waiting for me, ready to play with. I know I am late to modding month, but I will give it a crack in earnest cum December!

Someone should. You guys have been talking about and trying to buy this light for weeks, but it doesn't look like anyone has successfully completed an order.

It won't be me though. My modding queue is way too full. I'm actually considering sending some lights to v54.

I did manage to order it from SW after all… my tracking number suggests it left SG on 18.11.
I will report what’s inside when I get it of course (maybe next week?)

Just caved & ordered from KD - was hoping for a more reputable supplier, but at least they use PayPal.

……Order Status: Back-ordered :expressionless:

Mine should be on the way from the wholeseller too, tracking says despatched to overseas so hopefully it won’t be too long.

Great to see kaidomain stock it, price seems fairly decent too.
Fingers crossed I do indeed get an aluminium reflector in mine, will report as soon as I get it but I suspect others will get theirs before I do.

Cheers

Here’s one on ebay with some nice pictures.

Ebay auction for Courui XML2

And Willbuying has one too with some more pictures.

I’m really liking the look of this light more and more.

I freakin’ love that thick handle to wide head look. Makes it look like a freakin’ BEAST. Eagerly awaiting a tear down.

nice looking light,will add it to my wishlist :slight_smile:
