Hi guys, I wonder if I could get in on this? If it's too late or whatever, don't worry.

I think I'm definately eligible because I've been unemployed for the past few months and I am struggling to keep up with payments owed. Of course, things could be worse and I could be homeless or without access to a super forum like CPF :D

I currently volunteer for my local conservation trust, as it's the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning... :D

And BTW, I do currently own a Fenix P3D Q5 which I bought when employed. A great, value for money torch!

P.S. This is incredibly generous and I wouldn't expect anything less from CPFers!

There is a UK only light, I guess mods will decide ...

For my 2nd pick, I'll go with:

23. iTP A1 EOS Stainless Steel. It's been polished and has had the keychain attachment cut off. donated by mvyrmnd

This'll be perfect for my all-around EDC. :party:

It's a great little light - I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It did some time in my pocket, which is why it's been polished up again :) I got your PM, it'll be in the mail ASAP.

I am simply amazed that there are TWO Surefires on the list still as it goes its second trip! Just...amazed. Seriously.

Considering what I'm already getting, I'm looking at a keychain light(s) myself... but wow...I can't believe Surefires are still on there.

Me too! That e1e was actually my fist choice, but then I had trouble deciding, and did not want to hold up the giveaway.

They would be eating more batts that most can afford so I guess no one wanted to choose the remaining 2

Can't get out of the desert! ARGH!
I have a question for Scout24 before I make choice #2. Is the Thrunite Ti firefly being sent straight from the company, and thus do we get to pick a color?

I also have a general question, anyone know if Dealextreme or some other "affordable" place has an LED drop-in for those two Surefires?

ALSO, can you replace the 18650 battery in the ITP R01, ??? Since lithium rechargeables have a fairly short lifespan.

You can use a normal 18650 in the R01, but you will no longer have the USB charging capability. I don't know if ITP offer replacement batteries for it which permit recharging.

Lighthound.com does sell Veleno LED drop-ins for E-series SureFire lights. They're more expensive than anything DX carries. But at least they're not cheap junk.

Awww, how was I suppose to know to search for lumapower? That wasn't even the link when i first looked at that light. I search based on the name I was given. It's also MVP, not MPV. I'm happy with my choice, but still wish I got the info when I was searching for it.

I read that it was current regulated. Anybody know how much current is going to the led? Would it be a simple swap to replace the leds with XM-L's and make the eyebrow burner I mentioned?

Believe me, It took quite a while for me to finally figure out what to search for. :mecry:

Given that the MPV's output is around 600-700 lumens, perhaps 800-1000ma per LED? With an upgraded LED, it should give out a minimum of around 1000 lumens. :naughty:
