My totally biased opinion: Copper for the Win! It is the most Oligodynamic. (self sterilizing)
Also the Copper Tool w Nichia is a direct lego (just say No to Cool White)
Titanium has gritty threads, best for a clicky not a twisty. But Ti is also less efficient, see maukka below…
Brass has an issue with Lead content accumulating on the surface, and its a Poor Conductor, though Ti is even worse.
I have the copper, will likely go with titanium and then brass. I have converted all of the Maratac and Lumintops to Nichia 219b’s SW45 bin, can’t stand cold lights. This weekend I am going to likely swap 3 of them to 1 each 3,4 and 5 bin high CRI XP-G3’s to see what my favorite will be. I will post comparison tint shots next week if I get them done this weekend.
I have a foursevens bolt that I wouldn’t mind trading. It runs off of 2 cr2 batteries, it will run off a 14500 cell but foursevens doesn’t reccomend it. I have 8 fresh cr2 batteries that I’ll throw in with it as well. I’m pretty open to different lights. A decent thrower might be nice.
Didn’t make a trade, but made a purchase from this thread. A BLF/Kronos box set. Patiently awaiting its arrival. Thanks jealous57. Thanks to ReManG for starting the thread. :+1:
I have an x5 from the original group buy with a quad conversion. The light has been converted to a quad using a copper spacer from kirabiru, 4 x XPL-HI cool tint, 10621 carclo optic, H17F driver, and bypassed springs on switch. The pocket clip has also been modified so that it clips on better. I will also throw in 2 x 14500 batteries with the trade (efest and windyfire cells).
I am looking for a convoy L2 host or hard to find solarforce parts for trade.
Maybe smart to change topic title to US and make a second one with same OP but EU and a third ditto but South America (wanted to say AU’s but thought of this while typing) and a fourth ditto with AUS
?
I would love to trade but shipping is expensive so a bit closer to home could mean nicer options
Just opened a package containing BLF/Kronos set 164/400. What a beautiful pair of torches. That X6 is one heavy piece of hardware. I would not hesitate to recommend buying from the jealous57 collection. :+1:
Thanks Mr. jealous
The X5 is my 1st copper. :laughing: :heart_eyes: :sunglasses:
