Huhu.. lots of updates goin on here!! I can't see some of the pictures posted yet, but I can see susuman's collection (finally man! ), great collection dude!

47 MCE light is out and I can't see attached pictures yet.. going crazy liao..

Maybe it is because they include a img link, instead of attached into forum. i use the attach method to post picture.

Ya, after 2-3 weeks only have the chance to shoot the photos.

but wait, Philightsophy have my SP6 shipped and I should have additional member into the collection soon.

One question guys...

Ultrafire 501B is supposed to have gold label fixed to the lamp head but the same item sold in Malaysia does not show that. Does this mean that the ones sold over the internet here in Malaysia is a fake??
Here's a link that confused me over the matter --> http://www.ultrafire.hk.cn/column6.htm

It says only 501 and 502 series, so I am not so sure. I wonder why they want to imitate Ultrafire, because Ultrafire is copying Surefire too.

Anyway I have a Ultrafire C1 and WF-602C, both do not have the golden lable nor the bar code label, I ordered them from DealExtreme.com

But they really work perfectly for me. The C1 is a real thrower , and can use 18650 battery, with very long runtime, I remember I use a 6-7 years old battery, it run high hours.

And the WF-602C, just 1 RCR123, but it is really bright, to brightest 1 cell flashlight, brighter than my Fenix P2D. But it is a good floodlight, good for edc.
Being that cheap, I don't care if there are not original Ultrafire.

bad news...Quark Ti delayed till 19th Oct....good news maybe shipped with XP-G R5....woo..hoo..now the waiting sucks..if i knew they going to put highest bin i would have ordered more..geez..now stuck with only two..should have ordered the AA too..

Finally get to see pics of your collection guys, cool I remember I saw damon's in V1, but I'm sure he has alot more

Hey i dont mind joining in some fun eh

yea its caused the company blocked image hosting sites

Wa, 19oct, + shipping time would be close to Nov I feel the wait burden for u guys

wah. i see all ur collection make me drool only

my humble 'collection', if you can even call it that



the p100a2 now barely use edi, EDC duties taken over by the Wee. the ET now only use as a tool light

sure i have time to check out the SP6 , i'm still waiting for a couple of lights shipment....once i get it then i'll have some decent light to compare with....


Interesting News? Buying Eagletac at 40% off !!!!! plus free shipping worldwide

visit here www.Eagletac-Store.com

All Eagletac products are available for a 40% discount by using the EAGLE40 discount code when checking out

still considering about this deal....how good is eagletac light?

Oh!! But I bet the price will be similar to "Philightsophy", why not PM him? It is faster to get from local dealer, he was telling me the EagleTac should arrive soon.
BTW, I already ordered from Philightsophy one set of T20C2 RGB Kit, I am sure he already give that the discount (or isn't he? )
(Philightsophy, free advertisement haha, so can you give me a discount code for discount when checking out, )

One more problem for US is the shipping is expensive, usually they will just ship without "Registered Mail" service (called Signature Required in US, Signfor in UK), if you need Signature Required and Online Tracking then you have to pay more (both are add on), some store don't even allow insurance for Malaysia, so...

US Shipping also so far take longest time to arrive, I had parcel took 2 months. Having said that, ordering from UK only need 1 week to arrive, and signfor is cheaper too.

1 funny observation, I ordered items from international sellers, usually Registered Mail send faster by POS malaysia, airmail parcel sometimes takes longer time for the Kastam or POS to send to me.

i was considering whether to get EagleTac T20C2 [ USD 49.74 price after discount ] / M2XC4 [ USD 91.74 price after discount ], this is a very attractive price which include free shipping. this is due to clearance sale they having now and it's only for limited time only as they no longer become Eagletac dealer in US

[ bro Philightsophy, no offence ya.....i have no doubt at all on your products and excellent service.....but just very tempted on this offer ]

so far i have no issue with shipment from US [ previously order some lights from goinggear ] and it took exactly 2 week to reached ! i still have 3 more shipment from US too [ from shinningbeam ] and hopefully i have no issue this time......

as for dealextreme, i have shipping issue now....[ first time happen to me ], no tracking number provided and i have waited more than 1 month now...the reason being the purchased value less than USD 15, so they don't use registered mail.....it's not my fault as they separate my order due to some products is still not available yet at that time......so this is going to be my last order from them !

ohh, speaking about Lummi Wee and Raw, Rob promised will shipped mine within month of October with an upgraded shipment using Airsure and of course some goodies from him too ! i have waited this for more than 2 weeks since my order placed...

bro Philightsophy,

i just realize that SP-9 3 cell with xenon module is cheaper than SP-6 2 cell with led module.....what's the pro and con of xenon as compare to the led? which is better xenon or led? and why ?....

sorry for the noob question....

Bro old newspaper, nowadays the tracking number cannot be trace in Pos Malaysia site, very pitty, last year still can, but now you cannot tack registered mail anymore (from foreign country). I hope your Item is ok. So far ordered 14 times from DealExtreme, so far none go missing. Even 1 is just plain airmail.

What you ordered from DealExtreme?

And WOW, 49.74 is really cheap then! BTW, where you get the info about the discount code and stock clearance??? I didn't see in their web site wor.

Added on October 1, 2009, 11:20 amBro old newspaper, have you have any Xenon before, it is those Yellowish hot light bulb, very bright, like car front lamp. it use heat to generates light (I suppose) as oppose to LED which generates light directly, and heat is the by product of the conversion.

Generally, LED is much more power efficient, so can run much longer.

Xenon is very short run time, maybe an hour or so. For my 20W Xenon, 2x18650 only last 40-45 minutes.
And Xenon life span is very short, may be 20-30 hours, some is more
but LED easily 50,000 to 100,000 hours, virtual you don't need to replace it.

1 advance of Xenon is , the color rendition when in the wood or outdoor, the same amount of lumens, Xenon provide better vision outdoor. While LED gives good vision when you looking at White or Blue objects.

So that is why I love Neutral White LED (the 5A bin), it gives better vision when you are out site the house.

For comparison, I have a SSC P7 900 lumes LED and a 20W Xenon 600 lumens, the Xenon beats the P7 when looking at trees 100m away. But the Xenon only can run for 40m, while the P7 can run for 1.5 hours, both running at 2x18650

And the LED I won't worry about the Life span of the bulb, while I know I have to replace the Xenon sooner or later.

bro, this is where i got the info from http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=200875

i purchase some holster, strong earth magnet, cheap light, cell batteries from dealextreme. usually i received the parcel from DX in less than 2 weeks with registered mail, but this time i been waited for more than 5 weeks and still no news yet ! [ all not registered mail ] how long does the unregistered airmail usually takes?

btw, which Lumens factory did you purchased? SP-9 with D36 head + xenon module? i really really want to see the xenon performance in reallife situation.... wondering how good is xenon module.....mind to share here with pic or maybe we can meet up?

pm-ed u bro old newspaper haha.

Really makes you wonder how much these flashlights actually cost. You can be sure eagletac-store is not going to make a loss selling off their stocks. So, the real cost of these china-made lights should be really cheap.

actually the cost of making almost anything is way lower than what the final buyer pays.
Furniture? You can be sure in a lot of cases it's at least a couple of hundred percent jacked up.
Everyday food and accesories? same thing.

This just came in...

still waiting my D26 LED module

EDIT:
Current draw using 2 x AW 18500:
- SR-9, 1.22A
- HO-9, 1.50A

Hope to do a comparison review of this with SF G3 this weekend...
