Going Gear is also where I got mine. I picked it up in person and got the 15% off moving sale price. Going Gear is a great place to do business with.
PS. I like their new store. Not so crowded.
Dont blame me just because the stores changes price, tint/bin etc.
I have corrected and fixed many emitters in the past, but I am not not able to update all. Hence the collaboration spreadsheet, where people fix and update things when they see changes or errors.
XM-L2 U2 1A from Lightmalls was added as soon as the spreadsheet got running, 3/3/2013. At that time they were 9,55$, then price went down to 8.90 (updated 1/5/2013) Still described as U2 at that point. . Now they are 8.20, and are not labeled XM-L2 U2 1A anymore. In 1-5 weeks, they could change the info again. Its the way certain stores do things…
KD is the only one who still claims XM-L2 U2 1A out of the stores that got them before/around 3/3/2013. I have shared my thoughts about KD (and other stores like Lightmalls, DX, etc etc) when it comes to emitter claims several times in the past… Latest was a couple of days ago in this post.
Tom E from this forum is the “official” super shocker builder. There are a few other respected members who have made some too. I’m not sure if Tom E is building them anymore though.
Modded BTU, and modded TK75, both dedomed, driven a lot harder, are actually fairly close. In overall output, the shocker is a bit but only at the the start, and it throws ~400kcd, vs the TK75 at ~300kcd. The TK75 is by far the superior light though... more modes, much better balance, better built quality, and if you add in another battery carrier, to use 8 batteries, lasts forever on one set of batteries. The Shocker is more of a WOW light, than it is practical, but currently it's been surpassed, the modded X60 produces over 7000 lumens, and around 500kcd of throw.
If you want a giant piece of metal built like a tank, and somewhat balanced, the RC40 is a good option. Of all four though, Shocker, RC40, TK75, X60, the TK75 is the mos practical/best light imo.
Difficult to focus, and not too much of a demand for it, and it's been surpassed.
If you're interested PM me. I used my BTU Shocker VN for maybe 10 minutes in total, it's the same as when I received it sitting in a box. Really should list it one of these days.
I have one posted for sale hwre as well. I love it and would keep it but im narrowing my collectiondown to 5-7 lights so that means roughly 25-30 must go
