The only way to do a great work is to love what you do.
You can a spend a lot more and not have as versatile a tool.
Heck, buy 2, one as a primary & second as a backup.
FWIW
vestureofblood,
I was very happy with the way your last group buy worked out. Everything went smooth and I got my light in perfect condition and a timely manner. Glad to see you are doing another one.
I am going to read up on MT26 some.
Is it a linear driver?

Thanks Kodachrome, that's nice of you to say.
Thats a good question Bort. I have never dissected one of these before, I'm hoping it has at least some boost capability ( like my other nitecores), but I cant say for certain. If anyone else happens to know please chime in

Last Gen LED?
I really like your group buys, they turn out quiet nice.

someone who owns one can chart current drawn over time, if it rises linearly as the battery is depleted its a boost driver (likely a linear boost)

XML U2? Not XM-L2?
I am pretty sure your correct. That is what it says on the manufacturer web page is XM-L U2.
I will say that in spite of them using gen one LEDs, they lumen output numbers I have seen from them so far are very realistic. I tested one of the MT2As in my own sphere and it came within a hand full of lumens of what was printed on the box (280). I'd say any discrepancy there was due to my sphere is home made from a $20 light meter

I wonder if we can open the head or the pill to get access to LED so we can swap it

It’s gonna open for me no matter what.

I have one of these somewhere. I should dig it up and see if I can do an emitter swap. It’s a very nice light.
OK this is really one of the more embarrassing moments in my life. I have realized I dont have time to fully execute this buy before I leave for my honeymoon in a few days. As a result we're going to have to postpone this.
I am refunding the money that was sent to me once I finish this message and PM will be sent along too. I will be back in late June from vacation and we will revisit it then.
Again I am very sorry about this. I guess on the bright side since interest in this light was low, casualties are very minimal
Have a good week everyone.

Thanks Linh, kind of you to say.
Starting at the top, I'll be taking a 6 de-domed XML2 2D maglite. A hand full of the MT2As ( for gifts and or sales ) . My edc that is some word I always forget how to spell, its like Xoixs or something. Its an unmarked calendar light I modded to XML 2 at 3A. Stephanie has a C8 I modded to a P7 years ago when that was the hot button, she also has an Icon rouge II. Possibly my quark AA2 and a head lamp or two.....
Thats about it. I had planned to take a made from scratchy, but time constraints have probly squashed that.
I am really looking forward to this trip. I havent been on a real vacation in like ten years.
