Me too.

It reverts back to the original price on checkout.

Ordered one - great deal if you like this format (2 26650's, not so big head).

… now I don’t have to wonder …

Ah, sorry I missed this deal.

I was fairly enamored with rovert’s Convy L2 + Magic fire 3x18650 build over here: Convoy L2 Mod

I figured this light would work well as a replacement for the L2. Bah, I need to finish building other stuff anyway.

I got mine in yesterday - nice quality light, perfect condition, excellent anodizing. It's a C8 reflector, long version. Heavy brass pill, nice retaining ring for the driver. The reflector would have to be drilled/filed out to fit a MT-G2. Driver is classic 5 modes, but good memory, 1.09A at the tail on high, simply buck driver, two R200 resistors - looks simple to boost amps, or attempt it anyway.

Well worth $13 for sure.

^ Got mine too. Surprisingly bright for a stock budget light. Finish sees pretty decent on casual observation (didn't try to test it though). The emitter isolator ring seems a tad tall based on the beam profile. Definitely a good deal.

Thank you for the alert flashination :)

I got one a few days ago. I am not able to remove the battery tube nor the pill. Did you use any special tool? I almost bent my circlip plier and the pill will not move/rotate.

^ I haven't tried yet. Guessing thread lock. You could try putting the head in a baggie in boiling water for a couple minutes than use leather gloves to unscrew the head. I can move the head a little over an eighth of an inch. Appears to be normal thread direction. Couldn't budge the pill left or right. It have a nice heavy brass pill. You may need to leave in boiling water (in a plastic bag) for a few minutes to heat all the way through.

Important::

Dang should have mentioned this... You must take the pill out first from the head -- it's CW to unscrew, not normal CCW !! Then, the body tube (top half) comes apart easy. I almost messed it up too Smile.

This is the same type as the old IOS sold 1-2 cell light, think a host?? Can't recall model # (it's unmarked), but Hank sold these - with SS bezel, smaller head size, 1-2 18650's, not 26650. It was sold by others too.

^ Thank you Tom E. I doubt I would have figured that out. Probably would have ruined my light torquing on it. Thanks again :)

Check this out before messing with your reflector.

No ides what post # that is - its a big thread... Please post the post#.

^ Thank you Tom E and ImA4Wheelr. No wonder the pill will not open. I will try to open it again. I would like to make the light a little brighter, please let me know what to change or add to do that.

EDIT:

I tried to remove the pill again by rotating CW as suggested by Tom E, no luck. Boiled the light in a plastic bag, still no luck. I wonder why they have to tighten the pill that tight |( .

Weird, mine came loose, even after mistakenly trying to go the other direction. Can you leverage a good amt of force? I'll use cheap rubber textured gloves, and got a great pair of needlenose.
