Yes! Exactly! That's what I like bout it. HD2010 all tweaked up stock - best LED on copper star, AR lens - that's like $10 in parts alone. Not as much to mod. The MaxToch finish, threading, over quality I've been very impressed with. So, this is a HD2010 as it should be -- not the total disaster dealing with TMART with pot luck driver, lottery on how many dings it comes with stock - and now they even changed the pill threading so it breaks the copper pill compatibility. Unfortunately the driver modes is the std 5 mode mess, but probably has a good mode memory and can be resistor modded -- but for me, the driver had got to go...
The 26700 5000 mAh battery is intriguing - need details.
I believe its just this light that they wont ship SN6X-2X. I have had emails with the guy here and it comes with batteries and a charger which I don't want but makes the light a lot more expensive.
I was in the first gb of the SN6X-2X and this brand is top-notch quality. Just as good, if not better, than the other main players. I even had it Vinh (ed).
I just let him do his thing. What I know is that he de-domed it, and now it runs on one cell with a dummy cell together. Although I have not tested it, he says it draws 5.8A. We both don’t have a lux meter, so I don’t know.
#‘s I got on the modified 2X, resistor modded driver so still uses two cells:
fresh Pana PF’s, 2.22A (4.45A effective at tail), lumens: 1,615 @start, 1,540 @30 secs, throw: 358 kcd, measured at 5 m
So the M12's head dimension does appear to match an HD 2010 - if reflector inside diameter is about the same, than it should be close to a HD2010 in throw.
2S was designed for outdoors/hunting - now more focussed on law enforcement etc I think since the lightweight M24 hunting light has come out. 2S really nice light.
The 2S with upgrades likely to be about 83k lux standard with 63mm head. Upgraded 2X likely to be more like 120K lux stock with 68mm head.
