Yea, let's wait if there's new products from them, haha

Btw, anything up tonight?

Yeos! had a good short time as well And good thing the group of people not far from us didn't kacau or anything. It was all dark, Haha, as long we don't strobe at their location good enuf LOL...

I feel like we should go KD Trail next weekend

Btw, I'm concern about the XPG LEDs' tint though, although it's brighter but does appear a little greenish? The MCE tint generally has a better render on its cool white. Perhaps the Maelstrom MCE is a better choice? Just thinking..

Hrm, I was thinking what will be the diff with the Turbo & Maelstrom XPG too. Maybe just a little over the max like 1.2A or something, since it has a bigger head for heatsinking. And that the deep reflector is the key to 500 OTF lumens? haha.

47 said that the MCE prototype gave 700 OTF. But it needed air cooling for more than 10 mins.


It looks like something we're looking for and at an affordable price. Only that it doesn't come with head and tailcap...



Btw, newspaper, these are the prototype pictures of the Maelstrom MCE posted months ago.





Okay, im guessing 2cm shorter than the TA21, but similar tail and body thickness. Looks great, wonder how the final product looks like now, it has been like 2 months since the last pic.

hehe, so sorry to hold you up till 1AM yesterday

Wow! It's ok, the more brainswashing better bwahaha.. He didn't what's the Max Lumens huh.

The SST-50 LED can actually take up to 5A, which should be 1k+ lumens, generally I've been reading they drive it lower, maybe cause of efficiency and heat-sinking.

I wonder if someone already made a big LED light with SST-50 and drive it at 5A. 2x 18650 in series and parallel another 2x 18650. (8.4v and 5200mAH)

Microfire Challenger II (L2000R)
As an updated version of L500R, Challenger II L2000R is a giant in LED flashlights. Featured the unique reflex and focus technology, L2000R will put out the power of daylight which is 2000 lumens from 19 units of Cree Q5 LED lamps.

Tested Rookie's Quark Turbo 123 just now and it was AWESOME! Very bright!

Actual looks is smaller and compact than the pictures, very good for EDC. Thicker body, more solid feel and everything fits nicely. Body tail threads are anondized yes, and the tailcap is also more beefed up. Non-crenelated tailcap does feel better for a forward clicky operation. 2x CR123 and 1x 17670 compatible

Can't wait to see this Turbo perform in the dark

Wah!

Well done on the beamshots rookiedaddy! It looks like the E2DL is slightly brighter

Regarding donut holes, no the Turbo doesn't have it as well ET's XPEs. But they do have a very very slight fade in the center. The one swith SMO.

Maelstrom XPG or MCE?!

Ah man!
I think it has something to do with how it's monitoring the voltage as posted earlier. Oh well... wait summore

So, it'll be JetBeam RRT-0 v2 now

haha, we have alot of viewers but not many posters. Would be cool if any just say a few words or comment time to time

Anyway, not sure if u guys notice but you can check who has posted in this forum. At our main page section - Forum Topics, click on our the Replies' column and you can see who has posted and how many.

I talked too much

Yeah.. dirt cheap, what's the brand btw? Tesco? I wonder how will these perform


Anyway, TK30 regulates quite well with Li-IONs. And with 2x AW RCR123 you can run at full max mode for 25mins. Some pocket power that is!

Heya Applepine! No problem, just join the discussions or add your own comments, views, thoughts. Welcome to the Bright Side!! Good to have met another flashaholic

U took all? lol, btw, are they having discounts on AAs and AAAs too? I'll be needing a bunch of em

Wow, Lumapower quickly jumped into smallest SST-50 huh lol. Well, having tested newspaper's D-Mini XRE version (240 lumens) was pretty awesome and a competitive thrower. I'm sure this version would be pretty impressive..

Added on December 2, 2009, 9:03 amHey Old Newspaper,

This was your D-Mini we played around, it threw fairly well huh...


Now this is the new D-Mini VX Ultra

Literally It is one fine light though

Btw, Fenix AngleLight MC10 arrived! I expected it from Fenix, but it came from one of the distributors in SG Citylink summore.

Strinq, received yours yet?

Hold on there my friend. I think Gadgetworld2U sell those lasers (correct me if I'm wrong ppl) you posted. They are our local flashlight dealer, they might have the lasers you're looking for and they sell much much much brighter lights than a minimag flashlight (unless it's modded) Check out http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/gadgetworld2u.htm


Anddd... btw guys, with all these GB busyness.. I have updated our Gathering Page in MYCPF

This post has been edited by pseudoblue: Dec 2 2009, 05:38 PM

hee I'm out of budget at the moment. Already spend for christmas and a few things left. Ahhhh.. dang

Btw, had a bad experience with my newly attained MC10. This afternoon when I was learning the UI and switching modes and hidden modes, the light suddenly cut off completely. I couldn't even switch it on. I thought it was a battery issue, so I had to wait until I got home, change different battery and it still didn't work. I put that battery in my Quark and it was fine, even at Max mode. Recharge batteries, put in Quark worked, put in MC10 nothing. Used a paper clip to test connectivity, switch it on, still nothing...

Maelstrom News!!

Well, better to have a properly tested and designed product eh.

I've seen a youtube vid months ago, from a guy who modded his minimag into a balloon popping laser. By scavenging the emitter from a DVD Rom. lol

Lasers are very dangerous though, concentrated light is no joke. With kids around, it's best to hide them and out of reach of children. It's also good to educate them about lasers and lightings, safety and warnings

Arranging with supplier now for replacement.

I figured it has parasitic drain because of the UI (like the TK40's UI), found out info on CPF as well and did my own test with my DMM. It really do draw 0.033mA. Very small, according to straight calculation, it will last 7 years on standby with an Eneloop. So the driver and the connectivity is working, I think the switch is gone case. Btw, was talking about Fenix MC10

Can't participate in the D-Mini Ultra GB as well, would really love to, but my budget's blown for now..... But it's an SST-50 light.. darn

Eheh... you guys don't need a president What we need is better deals!! Interest Free Loan!! (not from loan-sharks)

We'll progress slowly and we have something already. But activities here should overflow to v3 (I think we still can go up to 300 pages?). Compilation of data and references can be posted at MYCPF (to generate traffic for reference and soon for discussions), and on V3 as well.

First post content :
1. List of all flashaholic here with their list of lights - so we know who to look for if there's any questions pertaining to that specific model [ not for show-off purpose ya ]
2. FAQ for some new comer reference, a link will do
I think there should be a re-post of this in MYCPF - List your lights. Those pictures, eye candies you guys posted here (your collection), if you can, put into photobucket, or another service. But please remember to spread the poison here as well. *If don't have a camera it's okay, just name it

Second post :
1. Gathering info - compilation on all previous and up coming gathering
2. Information / Announcement on all those new release light
All gathering info and links after me has been posted in MYCPF - Events and Gatherings section. Upcoming Gathering info at KD Trail is also up, including the date and details.
*information of new lights and stuff will progress as time passes, don't think I will put a reference link for these. The poison must keep going

Third Post :
1. Review section - lights review only by our members here
We have a dedicated review section in MYCPF. What we can do is put the full review there and summary and pictures here.

Forth post :
1. All the Group Buy Information - all previous GB and up coming GB - so it's easy for everyone to check and monitor it from here [ no need hassle to search the entire thread for the GB status/ update ]
any comments on this matter is most welcome. So the nominated TS should be preparing all these info by now so our V3 could be more properly organized
This part is tricky, it's hard to get responses of GB in MYCPF (don't know why), GB seems to be more effective here. lol. Point of references is still stronger here.

When v3 start, I'll re-post the references.
