I got some 4C tint R5 XPGs from Shiningbeam. I highly recommend them, they have a really nice tint and they are a little bit brighter than the KD R4 4B XPGs.

XPG R5 4C XPG R4 4B XPG R4 3D
I like the comparison shot .
Thanks, it's a little misleading because the camera corrected the 3D to a whiter color than it is but it gives you some idea of the difference in the tints.
Good! These are the ones I bought specifically to try out a Neutral Tint XP-G. \

That's the non-branded KD C8? Is the pill loose, or doesn't fit snugly?
Got a couple, tested & approved even though I still like XM-L 3C more :)
got a sipik from DD..some ano flaws and scratched to bare metal around the tailcap part but whatever it works..
My wife just sent me this picture of what came in the mail today:
The small package in the front is the lock/key for a gumball machine I'm trying to get rebuilt. The three Manafont envelopes are probably:

Okay, my haul did not include the C8 and accessories that I had anticipated. It actually included these items:
Now, still pending the switches, C8 kit, and an order from DX with a couple of styluses (styli?) XPG R5 emitter on a 16mm board, and the 18V driver circuit. That should have everything delivered with no outstanding orders. For now.
I'm envelope yellow with envy! =p
I got a gun sight from DX, it is much smaller than I thought it would be. Unfortunately the recital is so far out of alignment it can't be adjusted to work properly so I had to start an RMA. Hopefully I can get it replaced before the upcoming apocalypse.
Yeah, but I don't think there's much in there for me, if anything! 
wth? made in the usa, shipped from china?

But it is useless for protected cells!
ITP SA1 Eluma, which is going to be my EDC light for a while.
Paid pretty close to retail for it and for once, I don't mind. I know it's one of ITP's entry level products, I know it's not the brightest light there is but I really like having the choice between reverse and forward clicky. Choice is good and I don't mind paying a bit extra for it.
I also find myself buying more and more lights with a side clicky and an infinite brightness mode or magnetic control ring. Damn, this used to be a cheap hobby. :D
Trust me it's a knockoff I think "usa" is a province in northern China.
Got this yesterday. It was $5.99. I thought I was getting an XR-E Q3. It's got some cheap chinese emitter (2 wires) that I've never seen before. Definitely not a Q3, much less a CREE. Also the bulb of the LED is very scratched up under a 10x loupe. It's also VERY dim. I would say about 15 lumens.
I'm glad somebody is getting an order from Manafont. They used to be among the fastest but I'm a month out on an order right now.
Ahh well, it's not a donated kidney so, I guess I'll be alright.

I got my Jetbeam BA20 from DD today! Awesome 2xAA light, and an awesome price with great service once again from DD. Hope they can offer us more great deals soon!
Awesome! I too am waiting on the Jetbeam BA20. Hope it gets here soon.
oh, i'm sure. that's pretty bold though.
btw, that sight looks fun (if it worked) but I've had terrible luck w/ such sights, even name brands and spending over $100. I'll stick w/ no snag, drift adjustable, tritium dots on judgment day ;)
