Looks like I just have to post the full HTML code. That’s the only way it works.

Anyways, thanks for the help.

You got it!!! :+1:

I can’t post pictures yet but I’m carrying a Acebeam TK16 today. Great little 3 led light and already has a nice patina on it.

What I got, 2020:

23. Nitecore TM9Kvn, 21700, 9 x stock XP-L2 6500, Jan. 6, 2020, 9,500/268M factory specs, Vinh specs after boost: 9120 lumens, 297 meters, 22Kcd, and improved heat sinking.

24. Nightwatch NSX3vn Jan 27, 2020. 21700, stock 3 x XHP 50.2 8,000 lumen, 375 meter, 35Kcd. A red hot screamer for its size. Throw is great for its multi emitter power and its size.

25. Nitecore E4K vn, Jan. 30, 2020. 21700, Factory 4 x XP-L. 4,000 lumens, 261 meters throw, protected/longer length/solder top spring 21700.

26. Emisar D4V2 vn, Feb. 22, 2020, quad W2 with throw optics, 4,020 lumens, 429 meters. Single 18650. Midway size between S2 Baton and E4K. After four years, this is the replacement for my super trusty S2 Baton.

27. Lumintop FW3Avn triple W2.1 Feb. 28, 2020, 2,800 lumens, 425 meters throw, 18650.

28. Lumintop FW4Avn, quad W2, throw optic. April 13, 2020, 3,850 lumens, 456 meters throw. Currently the most compact high power single 18650 flashlight, I think. Picture perfect emitter alignment, providing for picture perfect beam pattern.

29, 30 and 31: Three Lumintop 21a Pro Vn, May 26, 2020, single 21700, triple XHP50.2. 9,500 lumens, ~350 meters throw. The next big thing in the Lumintop FW series. I gave two of them to friends.

32. and 33: Two Imalent MS03, June 15, 2020. Triple XHP70.2. Single 21700 protected usb-c, or with large solder blob. 9,535 lumens, 313 meters. Smallest triple XHP70.2, I think.

34. Mateminco MT07 vn 7 x W2. June 16, 2020. 8,000 L, 678 M, 115KCD. Very attractive combination of power, throw and size.

Ordered June 12, 2020: Astrolux (Matem?) EC03 21700 3 x 50.2


List of lights that I have ever sold or traded: None.

The L11C from L3 Illumination has been my favorite EDC light for a while. The tint of the Nichia version is well-balanced for a variety of environments. However, I wanted something warmer for night time. Since these are discontinued and drying up quickly, I ordered an extra and had it send directly to Sky Lumen for modification. He converted it to an SST20 at 2700K. It just arrived and “wow” is the right word. Very nice! :smiley:

A new jean jacket, arrived about an hour ago. Plenty of pockets in it, both inside and out. When it’s chilly enough for me to go out wearing it, I’m gonna carry so many lights :smiling_imp:
