Neutral U2… Exceedingly unlikely… Probably a T5, MAYBE a T6…
PPtk
Do they even make neutral/warm U2 xmls?
No, T6 is the ceiling right now for neutral, lower BINs for warm
Oh ok that's what I thought.
“can’t wait for it to start going dark at a reasonable time ”
Know the feeling, hehehe
:8) I’m happy to be corrected, its some form of xm-l, and lights up trees bushes the same colour as you get in daylight, whatever it is, its nice. Hang on a moment……
Ok I’m back, this it what it was sold as, along with me fawning over it once I’d got it,
Now, in reality, I read 1a at the tail cap with any of my cells using either a clamp meter or my avo, 2a when I tried it single cell, but quite frankly i’m not in the least fussed about the missing half amp, its a real nice light at a cheap price, the charger is pretty good and the cells do the job. I’m more likely wrong about the neutral than the u2 bit, but its certainly less blue than another cheaper xm-l I have in a zoomy or the q5 in my c8, hence me getting muddled and stating categorically (and wrongly) its neutral, wrong words, right intention on my part sorry. :bigsmile:
You”re welcome, Mike. Let us know when you get your new toy.

For future reference, Solarforce M8 would fit the bill ($62, not budget price unless you find a great deal).
Will do keith, my right hand is twitching already, but I guess it will be 3 weeks at least.

Thanks for the tip between, I use my torches for EDC at work on the hip, the M8 head would be too chunky for that.
It still aint arrived, so getting a bit peed off now!!, I mailed the vendor and to his credit he replied the next day, (rabbitword, I’ve seen him mentioned on a thread here)
He said the delay was down to olympic security taking a long time to scan parcels.
Has anyone else had this excuse??.
Not yet, but I do have a light I ordered at the same time as some others that has not arrived yet, it may be genuine.
Jeez, so now we don’t get any mail until after the Olympics? Hope Group 4 aren’t doing the checking 
Ah well, at least the shops will be open all day on Sundays for the duration. Off to get a few bottles of wine.
(Apologies to OP for off topic nonsense)
That’s got to be BS !
IT’S COME!!!
The little mother arrived 5mins ago, lovely looking thing at first glance, perfect finish, only con I see so far is a slight battery rattle, but I can live with that.
I’ll have to get my wife to make a 38mm web belt with a custom made loop, (she makes utility belts)
Now I can’t wait for nighttime, lol. (I’m even looking forward to going to work tomorrow night, how sad is that?)
Tell us more please ?

I suppose the next excuse will be some fictitious Health & Safety nonsense! Funny thing is that I got something from Intl Outdoors last week that took 8 days to the UK, which was pretty amazing.
A few years ago, I used to do foot patrols with a 3D mag, my wife is very handy with a sewing machine so she ran me up a utility belt with a mag loop on the hip.
Now I do exclusively mobiles, anyone who’s driven a small vehicle with a mag on the hip knows it’s (literally) a pain in the ass, lol.
Which is why I badly wanted the 501D, BUT, my 50mm mag belt is still a bit cumbersome, so she’s making me a 38 mm belt with a custom loop for the 501D, and maybe a “D” ring or two for my 502B to clip on.
When I wore my magbelt to work, the operations manager was so impressed with it that he offered her a small contract to make instrument shoulder straps and belts for the company, which she did for 2yrs until the company closed.
Now I’ve had a chance to give the 501D a good tryout, I must confess to being a bit disappointed, although the throw is good, the brightness is lacking, in fact, the maxtoch knockoff single cell (SKU134427) way outshoots it!!.
I’m thinking that no matter how much horsepower there is in the body, the small bezel and reflector is always going to be a limiting factor.
Am I right?
Glad you finally got it. What battery are you using?
