Wow ... that's a nicely mod Mag 2D? Very nice battery carrier too. And it throws better than the M6? Would like to get my hands on both, cool.

Yea, I'm often around 30%-50% which is enuf. Don't want to push the LED too much eh, unless we have a gathering when we're mostly on 80 - 120% hahaha

Hey no problem, can set up a meet when you come to KL too, but try to do it on a weekend yea

lol, i think so... I like to have a HID, but it's currently way out of the budget... hrmm

Which 26W HID?

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.

But Preons are AAA

I can't see pic attached yet..

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!

Hahahaha, by the end camping trip, we'll all have very very strong wrists...

I was wondering how you gonna open your L2D and solder that XPG

OOo, looks nice and very compact. Good idea on the very small AA/123. But my QAAT has been very good to me For something smaller, I'm still heading for the Preon. But all 123 lovers will dig this light, even those who wants an AA that looks like a AAA

Yea, its 39USD.

BOoo!

Just chilling here, checking out posts in CPF..

Hrmm, I haven't heard from nightstalker for a long time.. hey bro, you okay? went for holiday ar?

Pics pics! hehehehe

The L2D head is sealed? How you managed to open it up and solder the XPG? I noticed a line in the middle, force turn it? Did you get the Artic Alumina locally?

Hey surefire v led,

This is very very awesome indeed!!! Thanks for sharing so much info! Really learnt something here. The XPGs have a bit of a greenish tint huh? Like the XPE's, but the L2D has a very nice flood beam, amazing results and luv it!

The 26 AWG silicone wires are preferred because it can take high heat or something? Can you opt to use normal electrical wires instead? I can't really see how the Shark-sink fit into the mag

Good stuff man!

The Malkoff Replica Mag-2D right? It's so bright it lit up the whole room for the camera to capture..

For those who wants to know the sizes in comparison

Quark Mini AA, Preon and Mini 123

Note that the bead-blasted head and tail was a DIY and it's not available for sale.

More yummy pictures:

You would think, but it's a 1kW Xenon Arc Tank Light:

Hey Damon... Can you imagine having a similar nitecore D20 stainless steel clip on your Vantage? Looks good eh?? Any idea how?

Hahahah, I find clips are very useful even for lights that type of size and smaller though

*but for my vantage, I replaced the anti-roll ring with the other one and removed the clip

Hey, I read the review in CPF about this light! But did not follow the entire thread. It seems to be an awesome light. The price is really good too huh

The battery is a sealed lead acid type. From my experience with car batteries, lead acid batts can last alot longer. But, considering a replacement when it dies can be difficult. Make a batt carrier with 3x 18650 in series?

ITP A1 EOS... oh man oh man... I don't need this right..

Huhu, just bought some batts from GW2U... 17670, 14500 and Dummy AA.

They also told me about the iTP... if I get it, will go for AW16340 then christmas seems like a good excuse.. but.. but.. if i buy, it's for myself.. wakakakakaka

No I'm not...

I have an idea... what if I buy for you an A1, then you also buy me an A1 for christmas k?

Btw, I've started to create an XLS file like how JWYJ did. He had a printout on the last gathering and wow, full page (looks like 100+ items). Didn't realise my own list is growing too, but still considered very controlled di

I've seen the vid earlier, and it's uneven trail I'm not sure about the clearing and I haven't been there yet.

Wah, not sure if we wanna split groups leh, it'll be fun if we're all together I was planning to go to the trail and check it out, but kinda have transport issues atm.

Hey polkiuj, so there's two trail, the normal uneven trail up to the clearing and a longer hiking trail?

Added on November 9, 2009, 9:17 pmQuick update on our LYN Flashlight:

I've manage to locate a local laser engraving company in Paramount PJ. Susuman and newspaper knows about it via PM. I've sent an email to the company about our little project, let's hope we get a reply soon, if not I'll call them.

Newspaper has suggested:
1. Mr.Lite [ not sure on the quality ] - Still no review yet from the CPF'er.
2. Xeno [ the most expensive among all but high quality assured ]
3. SolarForce [ the most cheapest among all ]

Newspaper, I am thinking of solarforce if xeno and mrlite is to ex, and since it's cheaper and more of us will be able to afford. The last gathering with jwyj, the quality of solarforce not bad and seems like a reliable P60 light. Is it possible to have solarforce come without any engraving? Or an extra blank flat surface like the quark and fenix has. So can put our own engraving on that. It'll be good if can find out the aluminum grade of solarforce. What worries me is the price of the engraving now

Hrmm.. but Xeno's quality is very good though
