To my surprise, the company is actually at Seri Kembangan



But I think they won't do any COC or COD at Seri Kembangan.

Their lens is appeared to be cheaper than Shashinki too.

strinq, I found the bezel, it seems like ITC is the dealer of the solarforce, and it has only store in ebay.

Yeah, SF actually it is not that expensive in US, just double of the good chinese brand?? , but in Malaysia, it has triple of the good flashlight. Local importer maybe declare as FLASHLIGHT instead of TORCH, so they was taxed 30% extra. A E2DL should be around 450 (exclude shipping) in Malaysia if convert from USD, but was sold at RM750 in Malaysia (ACE).

Anyone care to import from US?

Mesti bakar?

Yeah, I wonder also, never see their gears, and no activities to promote the army?

Added on October 14, 2009, 12:31 pmHi Alantch, oh, really, that sound like a good way, thanks for sharing. How about the shipping? usually they ship without insurance and no signature required, right?

I recommend to give them a call, maybe the address was written wrongly, so they cannot find the address? or just being a new-boy trying to look for your house?

That is what I mean, the 4sevens anodize is not very tough, my 123^2 now use by my son, almost a silver ring covert the whole head, the tail is also as bad. Thinking may be sand paper it to make it a stainless steel ring look.

Just to add into Strinq statements, all the incans should use primaries or within the voltage range to avoid bulb burn or shorten life, but for some LED (eg: E2DL), some CPF reported the input is up to 9V, so it should accommodates 2 RC123 7.4V-8.4V, I tested 2x3.7v on my E2DL, it was ok.

Anyway, I am using a 3.3V LifePO4 on the E2DL, just to make sure it doesn't stretch the driver too much

For Incans, I have not test using the 3.3V LifePO4, but I assume it should be ok, because primaries is about 3.2-3.3V too

Just my 1 cent

Bro Old NewsPaper, where you intended to buy the surefire? is it cheaper and safe (any insurance to ship?). For the recommendation, I have a E2DL, it is very bright (brigther than the Fenix PD30 245lm) and the throw is far (just little bit below Jetbeam RRT-2), while the flood is very useful, it has 2 mode low and high.

And it can be double as a self defend instrument.

Just the other 1 cent.

yes, the LifePO4 is rated at 3V but the max voltage when fully charged is 3.3V, just like the Li-io, rated 3.7V, fully charge is 4.2V.

So if LifePO4 is 3V, meaning the charge is almost depleted, need a charge. Oh, if you are intended to use 3V LifePO4 and your charger is only 3.7V, then I have a trick, to charge the 3V battery with a 3.7V charger, like my trust fire TR-001, no need to buy additional charger. If got the chance, I post some photo later.

Just for info, 3V LifePO4 is charged at 3.6V, while 3.7V Li-ion is charged at 4.2V

Oh, you know there is local dealer and distributor in Malaysia (for local warranty), but the price is not as good as bring in from US lar.

The E2DL is just 120lm, if the LX2 is 200lm, then it should be very very bright, but in short distance, I think we cannot differentiate it.

If, so I also want!! Buying from US should be very cheap, can tumpang one?

Haha, 6 coach handbags, no need to pengsan, just ask your wife's cousin to fill the handbags with all surefire flashlights, then see who pengsan!

Thanks for the tumpang then, may be more detail this Saturday gathering!

With any info, already 6 Group Buy, we are really group of crazy flashacholic, anyway, not into the GB, because 2 AA is not my liking length/style, happy to see you guys ordering anyway.

Btw, old newspaper, are you sure 10 pcs no issue with custome, I bet they might hold up the parcel and tax 30%+10% if they declare as flashlight (heard that declaring as TORCH has only 10% sales tax). I am not sure about these importing, but my hunch is that 1-2 unit in soft/bubble envelopes will not be tax, but in a box parcel I think very likely. Just 1 cent.

Me too, but I had a High Profile Bezel like in your avatar coming this week You had poisoned me

From ebay, a shop/store call International Trading Company, I think he also working with Solarforce, here is the link

Not sure about custom, if cannot I let u guys know.
Enjoy

Oh, thanks for the info, you seems to work in custom, as old newspaper saying, do custom scan parcel individually? Just curious, not that I am going to import dangerous goods.

Btw, hear that thing from a flashacholic importer

But maybe you could enlighten us with more info, so we are better prepared, members don't have to listen to hear-says

Oh ok, bro, will bring the surefire E2DL,
it is big hotspot and useful spill, but still throw very well.


Oh, yeah RookeiDaddy, now you know where I hear the 30%+10% tax thing lor,

Seems a good deal, is it brand new, I mean you just got it or what? btw about the twist to turn off, will it too loose, which the head may fall off? I have a AAA, which I had few incident drop the head because it was loosen to turn it off. I wonder why no clicky?

tempting

ps: does it come with a holster?

Beside the park near McD, I suggest a better place, also very nearby, it is the Heli-pad beside Wisma Penyayang, in front of Alice Smith Int School,
Looks at the google map here
Park And Beam Location
and the picture attached.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Haha, why push to me

But, yes though my day time work is not in electronics, but modding electronic things is my hobby since my high school, and I was taking electronics in University

Ok back to the mod, yes zbi, Luxeon, hmm you know how many watt is it? And what new emitter you intended to use, some emitter required the change of driver circuit, so it is all depends, you have to bear in mind the cost whether it is worth to upgrade emitter or buy a new flashlight, I can help to make it as my hobby, so don't worry so much of me.

and do look out for emitter and driver board here in DX

LED DIY Parts
