A big THANK YOU to Amanda and all the others at Maxtoch for working so diligently on this GB and making it happen in such a short time (compared to the usual GB times) especially considering this was a custom light and not an off the shelf item.

Maxtoch informed me that due to the success of this GB, they are making up some extra lights for this buy.
The number of extra they did not give me a number on yet.
If you missed this GB or want 1 of these M24 lights, it will be a first come basis , and if we have more sign up than the number of lights remaining, then only the ones who signed up first will get them, and this will probably only last a short time.

I will be keeping everyone posted as I get more information.

10/27/15 GB OFFICIALLY CLOSED as of 10/27/15 at 9pm CST.
Anyone who does not want to pay the $2.00 for a holster, that you have ordered already, let me know if you need/want only 1 (free) holster (per light ordered).
We have reached the 80 needed to get a free holster now, and if you do not wish to buy one, I need to get your holster removed from the list.

Anyone who has ordered a light please check beside your name to confirm I have the right number of light(s) you want, the # of lights will be beside your name only 1 time, and if you have more than 1 then these will be beside any duplicate name, and the number of lights you want listed by your name 1 time.

Also a (limit of 3) pressure switches, per light purchased at $5.00 each, this is about half price, for those that want them.

10/9/15
$58.50* * /// Matoch has agreed to lower the price from the original $63.50, but ONLY if we can reach the 50 minimum.

10/1/15
Beamshots added (XM-L2 U2 dedomed) stock driver, in thread (post #213)

9/22/15

Ok there have been a number of you asked for at least 4 amps in the GB light, WE GOT IT!!!, at least a 4 amp driver will be in the light maybe even 5, if minimum number reached.
The holster will be available for $2.00 and also the remote pressure switch for $5.00 with this GB

9/13/15

It was brought to my attention some of you may be wondering……

1. Does Maxtoch accept paypal? / YES

2. Will the order have tracking? / YES / (included in listed prices in the post)

3. Any extra accessories with the light? / YES / A carry case, lanyard, a spare switch, O-ring’s, and tailcap boot.

Holster can be purchased for $2.00 and/or Remote pressure switch for $5.00 if purchased with the light in GB.
Just be sure to put which (or both) in the “remarks” section if you want either once the GB is active.

Hey Guys,

I know the Group Buys have been going hard and heavy lately and I keep thinking they would slow down but it doesn’t appear it will any time soon so here goes………

I have been talking to Amanda at Maxtoch (also Kronological said he will help me if I need it) and I am sure I will as this is my first time to do a GB.

With the thought of a BLF thrower in mind (although not a real small one) IT WILL THROW!!!

What I have got is the Maxtoch M24 Sniper with the XP-L HI emitter in it, using the already tried and proven Maxtoch Copper board (DTP) with it. The battery tube (flat area) will have BLF SE (Special Edition) or BLF TE (Thrower Edition) SET (Special Edition Thrower) depending on which the most preferred who wanted one of these lights. The price would be $58.50 including shipping and free tracking, if we reach 50 units.

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the Maxtoch brand, but I can tell you as the owner of one of the M24’s with a dedomed XM-L2 U2, these are some pretty awesome throwers. They are also some extremely well built lights, for a fraction of the cost, of anything else I know of out there with the build quality.

A Few of the things I know are in (or will be in) the light….

Of course it will have the XP-L HI emitter (neutral tint)
Driver 4 amps minimum
Copper Board
AR coated Lens
Well spaced modes HI/MED/LOW (no blinkies)
1 inch tube (scope mountable)
Double O-Rings (helps waterproofing)
Excellent threads (well cut)
Forward clicky/ Momentary On switch
The carry case included with light (although I don’t know if it will come in green or in black) the extra switch, O-rings and tailcap boot are also included…….

L to R// Convoy C8—Convoy L4 (W/ext tube)—Maxtoch M24—SmallSun ZY-T16

Reflector/Head Comparison—-L to R// Maxtoch M24—SmallSun Zy-T16—Convoy L4—Convoy C8

This is with the dedomed XM-L2 U2 emitter in the one I already have.

Anyone interested please let me know, and please try to keep discussions to a minimum in this thread if you can, as I will already be having a hard time keeping up as is.
Thanks everyone and hope we can get the numbers needed for an awesome thrower.
Please Put “SE” (Special Edition) or “TE” (Thrower Edition) to follow the BLF, if you have a preference of lettering on the light.

And the most votes of the two will be what we go with.

Can they dedome it for us?

-FWIW that’s key to me.
Lettering for Special Edition isn’t a priority.

MAXTOCH M24 with XML2 U2 LED is already with nice throw. I believe if it is changed into XP-L IH, M24 will have even better performance.

If they use the XP-L HI its already ‘dedomed’. That is the key feature of the XP-L HI, it doesnt have a dome, just a flat silicone piece. :wink:

Ummmmmmm

Good Day robo819,

I suggest you move this thread to the Group Buys subforum.

Best Regards,

George

Looks Good to me Robo - Please start a list and put me down for one!

XP-L HI - Not a “Factory” De-Dome, like Olight did:-(

Tint is very important to me, which is why I say No de-dome.

Any chance we could get the UI changed to a L-M-H order, or am I the only weird one in the group?

Thanks!
-Chuck
EDIT: BLF SE, please, as “SET” sounds like I might be missing the other one:-)

ok will do, thanks for kicking it off

Pls put me in… But I will only buy if it reaches the 100 pieces price :slight_smile:

will do and ok

I do have a question. Will they up the amps ? And how much throw will it give since its been changed to the XP-L HI

The amps I don’t think so right now at the price but the throw with the dedomed XM-L2 U2 in the one I have is at least 500 yards and this XP-L HI is supposed to be even better. Here is a couple of beamshots from mine with XM-L2 U2

400yds (high)

400yds zoomed a bit

Count me in.
I vote for SE (Special Edition)

A couple of questions:
What type of circuitry?
Maximum current?
Color temperature?

Oooh I hope it’s neutral white !! I don’t mind the engraving lol any will do! Nice pics but if they do up the amps I will love it more!! Hehe

Buck driver I think is what they will use
you would have to ask one of the modders on max current but I think it is 3A and 10W ? on the XP-L HI
and I will ask for at least 2 tint options if possible

Nice!

Here is what it looks like. (Pic is a link to stock unit product page. The GB SE version will have the XP-L Hi emitter).

I have two of the SN6X-2X lights, it’s heavier big brother, and they are my go-to thrower lights. This will be a nice addition. Put me down for one!

The XP-L Hi has the same die size as the XM-L2, so by design the throw will not be better, only if the XP-L Hi has a better bin. But in that case think 10 or so percent, not 50.

You may be right, and I am not arguing one way or the other, I am by far no expert with these things.
I am just going by what I was told, by the company, that in stock form the XP-L HI will perform better then the Xm-L2 U2, although dedomed the XM-L2 is about the same in throw as the XP-L HI
so I figured why not get the one that already performs best without having to do any mods.

In case the comparison was XP-L Hi with domed XM-L2: I agree :-)

It’s all about the tint.
If I spent that much money on a light, I don’t want a greenish or yellowish tint.
I want pure 5000k of light with a good CRI :slight_smile:
