yeah, i meant those vials alone...not so keen on those tritium keychain tho..

thanks for the warm welcome

actually i need only the tritium vials....they look pretty cool on the flashlight [ and of course useful too...just like those Lummi Raw / Wee ]. thought of buying it from the CPF forumer but the waiting shipping period is killing me.....

yeah, i bought my Fenix Stainless Steel LD01 and Nitecore D10 R2 from gadgetworld2u....saw the tritium keychain but not very keen on those...

here's some negative comment on krytox.... http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?p=2214478

where's this KD trail ? count me in if there's any gathering ya..... there's still a lot to learn from the sifu here....

wow, that's a little monster light you have .... why choose this over the newer M2C4?

speaking of purchasing from dealextreme, i still have about 5 pending shipment from them.....so far i have no issue at all and has been buying from them since a year ago d...

tips : i always use their Drop Shipment and Gift Service (Removes DX logo from package) and it cost mere $0.01 !!!

alga : how much are you going to selling those military grade 550 paracords? ok, no trade related talk here, please pm me for further details ya !

not all flashlight...some other stuff like cell batteries, rechargable AAA, AA, and some cree r2 emitter for modding purposes.....

as for flashlight, i bought this;

MTE SSC P7 C-Bin 900-Lumen 8-Mode LED Flashlight (1*18650)
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13060, after reading some review here, http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/f75/pr...-p7-c-8701.html it's more a flood than throw but from the review it's really got my attention....

and some other stainless steel AAA/AA flashlight....i'm a fan of those small light [ i means really small light ] especially made from stainless steel or titanium....

i bought some light from goinggear.com too [ of course with cpf discount coupon ] , namely titanium Thrunite, titanium VersaTi [ useless light...lol], and stainless steel iTP upgraded light....

but out of all this, my favorite is still those Lummi Raw & Wee......argggh the waiting period is killing me now !!! and not to mention Quark Titanium AA

This post has been edited by old newspaper: Sep 12 2009, 08:06 PM

yeah, i'm aware of the unofficial upcoming Quark AAA....my paypal is always on standby.


anyone heard of this brand, Lumens Factory? nothing much info on the web / CPF.....

i'm planning to get these,

Lumens Factory Seraph SP-6 LED 3 Mode


with

Seraph P7 M Series Turbo Head, High Output SSC P7 LED, D Bin (Max Output 950 Lumens)


please enlighten me.....

polkiuj,
for QuarkTi, it's coming very soon.....still got 14 days to go before shipping...

for the Lumens Factory, the only thing i like is the 'lego'ing part, design wise i actually like it wo....lol....hmm, i don't have any SF as it's way too expensive to toy around

susuman,
there's only 2 source, Lumens Factory HK itself and lighthound.com for time being....

i'd compare both, it's slighty cheaper to get from HK directly...even lighthound is selling a couple dollar cheaper and with the 2% cpf discount coupon still overall the total price is higher than buying from HK [ it's the shipping cost culprit ]

here's the price i got today from HK;

The break up of your order is:

SP-6 $45.99 + $7.50
M Turbo Head $98.00 + $6.00
M Adaptor $15.00 + $1.85

Total is $174.34

i haven't decide to buy it yet, maybe Philightsophy could offer a better deal here?

oh, btw the M Turbo Head is on limited run tho......

Added on September 14, 2009, 10:23 amtotally agree ! ...one man's meat is another man's poison..LOL

alantch,
thanks for your info.....i'd had went thru all those thread by mdocod in CPF previously but there's ain't any review yet on the SP-6 light itselt....probably it's still new....

This post has been edited by old newspaper: Sep 14 2009, 10:30 AM

yeah, that's exactly what's on my mind now....LOL

a BIG thank you for this !! you simply has the 'search' power in your hand !

indeed a good news for us here !!!!

please keep me update / posted on this ya....very keen on the SP-6 (Led) 3 mode and probably with the extender

i have another target beside the SP-6....

has anyone ordered this;

Jil Lite J2-Ti?



price : USD150 + free shipping for CPF forumer....

they simply look gorgeous to me !

here's just some of my thought;
+ DD
+ using CR2
+ comes with gorgeous accessories
+ good runtime 15hours
+ of course the design itself !

- pricey
- XR-E Q5 WC prefer R2 / R4 !
- single mode
- 80 lumens [ could be merit for some ]

what do you guys think of this?....

This post has been edited by old newspaper: Sep 15 2009, 10:03 AM

don't have to be rich to own this.....lol, just save up and buy lo...like me...and i could only afford to own 1 of this only not more than that

for me buying flashlight is better than buying expensive toys [ transformer etc etc, sorry if i offended anyone ya ], at least it's for it usefulness and could be a life saver too ! my wife and kids are spending more than this buying their stuffs.....daddy need a break too right? LOL

This post has been edited by old newspaper: Sep 15 2009, 10:36 AM

good for you....mine is still in production probably takes another 10 days before shipped ! how many trilium locator you add in?

that's the unique selling point of this light....

at this point of time, i would expect it to use R2 instead....even the lummi raw can reach up to 200lumens

i'm aware of this but the price is way over my budget.....and the heat treated are more prone to scratches and no way to restore it....

USD150

here's the site where you can order it, http://www.litemania.org/

This post has been edited by old newspaper: Sep 15 2009, 07:37 PM

kinda agree with you.....but if given a choice i would prefer a newer emitter r2/r4 and better still if it comes with at least 2 -3 mode. just like my Raw Ns which is 20/200 lumens configurations. i have quite a number of those small light and i find it slightly warm after 20 - 30 min usage but still feel comfortable to handle it. 60 lumens is definitely brightly enough but not enough to please me...LOL. and with the higher lumens of course we need to sacrifice the runtime but it depends on what's the purpose of the light for...most of my light are purely collection driven....

at first i would thought the same thing, heat treated should be more scratch resistance but looking at the pic, it somehow couldn't convince me enough...unless we have a unit to test it out

please correct me if i'm wrong ya as i'm still very noob when comes to flashlight.....

Nightstalker1993,
holy####, you received your Wee d ! mine is still in production......and with the shipment ding dong, i guess i have to wait for another 3 weeks to receive mine !

oh and i have just received the cheap MTE P7 light from DX, i'm impressed with it's performance....but don't how to measure the output, lumens etc etc and i have no other expensive light to compare with...

and talking about the Fenix MC-10, there's a chance to win one ! here's how ;


Selamat Hari Raya to all ya ! and happy holiday too !

...and it's a half polished wee ! LOL

Nightstalker,
which Autosol you use to polish the reflector? ...and i prefer the wee to be unpolished tho...anyway, i'm still patiently waiting for mine to come..arghhh

susuman,
nice avatar you have there!

just realized i bought quite a number of light within this month d have to put a stop on my paypuke....lol. decided not to buy the Jil R2 and the lumens factory for time being. my most recent purchase was the MG PLI M-CE 700 lumens and a upgraded Romisen flood to throw light. and my last last pending purchase will be the L-Mini ll with the the turbo head and the LumaPower D-Mini VX...

Philightsophy,
Finally you brought in the Lumens Factory...
Can you PM the price for these;
SP-6 (3 mode), 2 x 1 cell extender, D36 Mini-Turbo Head, D36 LED module. Thanks ya!

Still considering whether to get these or not...overspend this month d

damonlbs,
there goes my USD79 for the 47 MC-E light......nah just joking on the pricing. I would get this if it's below USD70 as i only paid USD56 for this;

MG PLI Cree MC-E 700 Lumens Compact LED Flashlight [ 1x18650, 1x17670, and 2xCR123A ]


susuman,
very kind of you to offering the soldering service seriously can't do a proper soldering myself...do us a quick review on SP-6 with pictures once you have it in hand ya and btw i'm staying in Seri Kembangan too [ maybe we can meet up someday to 'inspect' the SP-6 ]

This post has been edited by old newspaper: Sep 29 2009, 09:32 PM

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?

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, 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?

---

Added on October 1, 2009, 11:26 amthanks for the info bro susuman ! nope, i don't have any xenon based light at all....i only have 1 of those old big chunky dolphin incandescent light....

i'm now more eager to see the xenon in action !
