I went ahead and purchased this drop-in at the old price of $18.80. One hour later I see the new price of $12.86. AHHH. I requested a refund as I only purchased it a couple of hours ago. Do you think that they will cancel it for me?
Thats a dang good price on an XM-L drop-in. Hopefully its the same one that everyone was recieving at the original price!

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure there'll be more than a few folks here that'll order another (or 3).
Nice! I'm still waiting on the one I ordered from Manafont. Slow overseas shipping :(
Is it me or is this getting to cheap to fast? I am running out of hosts!
wow great service on KD's part. I sent them 2 emails today, both were replied to in the same evening, including a full refund on this XM-L drop-in that I had ordered at the original price.
Perhaps I will order a few more things now:) including this lower priced XM-L.
Nice pricedrop? Have ordered one. KD ships very fast at the moment. Ordered a
led the other afternoon. Next morning it said shipped in "my Account". Last evening
I ordered a driver. This morning it says "packing". Very unusual for KD.
Maybe the KD imployees have started using EPO, or maybe KD have got a new
management who knows what the customers want.
Yeah kd is doing it's things very fast lately.
Cannot help myself and snagged 2... backorederd already. XD
On the day my Manafont one arrived! 
And how is it? XD Yeah im being impatient. :)
Not got it out of the envelope yet - just went home to let the assistant out and found the packet.
Will do some testing at work this afternoon.
starting right now...
You can breathe now. Quick pics and beamshot here. #56
KD has actually cleaned up their act a lot as of late, quick replies and quick shipping. The only thing they lack now is a good storefront/page where you can actually find what you are looking for. DX on the other hand has gone downhill as of late. DX still ships out fast enough on some of their inventory, but their customer service is getting ridiculous...
That's why i switched from dx to manafont and KD. almost anything i want those two does have. Well i bought a SKYRAY 1JC and a Uniquefire hs-801 (which is taking sweet time to arrive) from BIC since it was cheap (with a ton of referrals and discount cupons).
same here, better experiences with KD and MF lately
I was just to late to have my dropin shipped instantly (order pending)
There was quite a lot of lunar light pollution, we have a nearly full moon tonight.

These are part of a larger set of beamshots from more powerful lights. I'll put up the whole collection separately.
Now settled at $14.86.
Kai must have been reading this thread (or was overwhelmed by the avalanche of orders 
)
Tooo bad I's liked the $12.86 price
He, KD if you are reading this: sell some nice XM-L throwers (2x 18650)
I'd like a body that can take 2x 18650's side-by-side, in a parallel arrangement. It'd be easier to hold, less likely to blow up, feed current more easily to current-hungry XM-L's and shorter for easier storage (like in a car glovebox).
Incandescents needed higher volage bulbs to perform better, but with LEDs only wanting 3-3.5v and lots and lots of current, its time to move to parallel cells.
This is true - I'd prefer shorter and wider to longer and thinner. The only one i can think of is the Fenix TK-35 but it most emphatically is not a budget light.
