Thanks ya'll for the warm welcome.
Maybe I "jumped the gun" a bit, but having dealt with overseas vendors in the past, I am still a bit skeptical.
Had a bad experience with another popular vedor, D.... , and I'm truly a bit "skiddish" but will give it until 40 days with PayPal before filing a dispute. I do realize that it takes quite a bit of "mail time" for a product to reach the U.S. from overseas,
however, the "shipping time", in my sole and uneducated opinion, should not excede 3 working days.
Sorry if I'm a bit of a "prude", but customer service is, what I percieve, to be the heart of an on-line business.
So, to expound upon my newbie status, I'll let ya'll know what I had in mind, and had ordered:
First, was a Solarforce L2 body from ITC.
Next was an R2 Dropin, an XP-E dropin,
a smooth refletor for a P-60 drop-in
and an Aspheric lens,
along with an assortment of O-rings and tail swithches.
I kinda felt the need to give the "basic modding" thing a go as I'm still a serious newb when it comes to LED lights.
I am after a bit more throw than my Solarforce L2 with XP-G drop-in, and felt that I might gain a bit from the combo that I had ordered, albeit, a newb's "experiment".
So there you have it. My admission of being a true "newb" , yet one that has spent time searching multiple forums,
so please, be gentle. I bruise easily.
Thanks for the wealth of knowledge, and I hope to be of value at some point.
