New L2

Just a quickie question:

For occasional "Cigar-hold" use, what clicky to get with this? Got PP ready and L2 in shopping cart!

S8, S9? S11?!

I thinks thats highly Personal - pick the one you like ... If you like em all , your in trouble .

S8 it is... Not sure how I would like the looks of black matte mixed with SS crown on switch.

Besides, S9 is more $$$ than the whole body...

I like the look of the knurling and the finish. I imagine it would look stellar with a non-crenelated bezel. And I would need a recessed button that allows it to tailstand. Otherwise looks like a decent choice.

Good news everyone... your prayers have been heard. ;-) The new L2-TS (tailstand + 3 amp switch) is here. Together with that new black bezel , or the classic stainless steel bezel this light might be, what you are looking for in a P60 host.

I've got mine on order with a B3 stainless bezel. I should have it this coming week..hopefully :)

Is that tailcap similar to what L2P has?

(sold L2P, did not like the 1st ver. recessed button at all :| )

Here's the new L2P tailcap which I'm pretty sure is the same one they're offering as an option. It has a smaller boot than the original for easier operation. I'll be using it on my new L2

Yeah , but is the new L2 tailstand clicky a forward or reverse clicky ?

I received my 2011mom l2 last wed. and I was absolutely blown away by the quality. Waiting on my xml drop in from manafont to arrive so I can test it out :). I’ve caught SF fever for sure!

You and me both! I should have my new L2 next week. Can't wait :)

If it's the same as the new one I have, it's a reverse clicky.

it takes everything I have not to order more lights and accessories from them, lol. Already listed the light and parts for my gf that I want for xmas :p

hmmm... not sure about the "regular L2" but I know the L2P in the combo package of L2T/L2P comes with a reverse clicky. That's the perfect tail cap combination, imo. :)

Fromt the department of nobodyprobablycares:

From the moment I saw the L2T and the new L2, I thought the finish was different? Either the metal underneath is different or the finish - at least on mine.

It's not as apparent (if at all) with the L2 head on the L2T but to my eyes, either the metal work underneath is different and/or the finish is not the same.

The L2 is much more buff than it was but the body on the L2T has a completely different finish. I don't think they're the same at all, at least on my examples. They don't feel the same either.

Thanks Foy, I was actually looking for this side to side.

Foy,

By your own macros, it is apparent that the new L2 has tooling marks from where it was turned. The L2T appears to have a more random pattern, like a course bead blasting (just a guess, there). And then each is respectively anodized/colored/sealed over those finishes to get the slight differences you see.

Got it today, what a great and neat light host!

Very well finished, cannot locate a flaw. Shorter than before, way better than my previous L2P.

5/5.

Glad you like it. I should have mine today or tomorrow.

Speaking of the L2P, is the machined edge a bit sharp on yours? Mine is on both sides

Another nice thing about the new L2: no ridiculous "Hot Surface " warning printed on the head :)
