Both. I got the light originally without the rechargeable and later on added the pack. It's a fantastic little HID and the reflector makes a big difference.

we helped you test out your new E2E, these are the following test we did for you ;

1. 5ft drop test
2. Hot water boiling test
3. Ran it over with truck
4. and others torture test....

Verdict : it pass with flying colours !

Enjoyed yesterday's gathering! Thanks guys for coming and it was good to meet you James! You're a P60 king! Have to thank your friend for accommodating us too I wonder if he'll start considering buying flashlights after all those lights talk and display...

In summary, we've check out various P60 hosts and bodies, which include Surefire, Ultrafire, Trusfire, NoName, Solarforce, and some more can't remember.. Even different drop-ins, from xenon to LEDs. Batteries from AA, CR123 3.0v, 3.7v, Li-ion 17670, 18650 configurations. We were also doing some ultimate lego-ing. The P60 xenon drop-ins are impressive, like what we saw at the last gathering. Very nice warm and floody feel, the smoothness of these incans are unmatched with LEDs (no, im not a convert, still love LEDs for many reasons.... HID acceptional hahaha!).

Lights that stand out and also not at the last gathering were the Tiablo A9, Trustfire MCE, Trustfire SSC P7, Lumapower MRV, Lumapower Vantage Q3-5C (this was impressive, very smooth creamy warm tint, didn't had a Q3-5A to compare tho), and that Silver MCE light (Jame's fav) which I forgot the name, has an excellent flood, smooth and no donut hole.

So... are you in KL/PJ area? I would like to check that out, can arrange a meet something eh

Regarding z-b-i's *E1E excecutive lite that couldn't work yesterday. I tested last nite at home it worked by pushing the xenon housing to the body. But did not work with the bezel on, it may have seem like a washer was missing. Didn't check further as already sleepy di. It'll be on susuman's hands soon.

Ok, I will try help, no worries z-b-i ! If cannot fix I got a new E2E

The Quark 123 Mini

that is super small...now maybe it was good i didn't jump on the preon.
heheh

But Preons are AAA

I can't see pic attached yet..

This is shorter, but a little fatter.
But it's definately brighter with better runtimes etc.
AND cheaper than the preon too.

But it's all individual choice in the end.

and damonlbs, you sure you are not intended to make us poorer?

Added on November 5, 2009, 5:34 pmNo worry, just fixed that, but it was just a 15lm light, so no surprise. and the beam has hole in the hot spot.
And, I lube all the O-ring and thread, using EagleTac Silicon Grease, now all batteries are charging.. .. .. . and the sky is getting darker..

Plus thanks you jwyj for the E2E, loved the light!
(and thanks for the trust for letting go the light, and $$ not even asked yet )

its a free world, u can choose not to buy mah

I will opt CR123A for long run time and shelf life, not AAA also not bad, that is why I got the limited edition of Preon I Ti Clicky.

Hey, thank you for the help again, owe you once, when u come by astro again, drop me a call, I owe u a big lunch!

Oh, haha it's okay you don't owe me anything we can have lunch yea, but talk about flashlights

Some of you know the lumapower vantage has two lanyard holes side by side at the tailcap. Seems like a nicely fit compatible clip, like the NiteCore D20 (but theirs are wider unless I drill more holes in between).. Any of you know how to get a clip like that? Stainless steel tail clip would look awesome on the vantage!

And btw...

For our next gathering, let's head on to Kota Damansara Community Forest Park! .
- Tentative date will be looking into January 2010.
- Plan to make it into a walk where we can chill, have fun and take our time, explore the pitch blackness of the forest and cool ambient sightings of the fireflies and the stars beyond. Yesss, but take note we might be under bright lights the entire time.
- Meet around 8.30-9.00pm at KD Trail and in for the walk! (have our own dinner beforehand)
- Bring only the lights that matters and some that we request to check out.
- And, I may need to explore that area first, see what to expect.

Until the next announcement!

If weekend, I try to sneak out , haha, put my son sleep at 7:30pm
