Yeah I can see that, plus the tint is iffy, and the barrels thin. Still enjoy my nimh ml50l (basically a mini magcharger for cheaper at this point ha). Wowzers! A c cell varibeam, I thought they were only 3D! Coool. I also like the 2C, even though its lackluster in stock form it's still a great form. I also didn't know about the 5c. That's funny, I've always wanted a 6C but I guess I'm happy with my 5- funny story, it was a lucky evilbay find, as was for one each 3- and 4C mags, but in pics it was clearly a 4- and 5C! Picked em up for cheap because of it.

I understand selling impractical vehicles. I loved my old Toyota Cressida, but in the end, the little stuff and age made it inconvenient- whereas the decade newer Camry I replaced it with feels like a new car (everything works a little better, and while I prefer the ol cressies still, the Camry is a manual which is fun. Miss RWD though)

I'd like to get a pre-97 land cruiser with solid axles someday.

I wish I lived in an area where soft tops were usable for more than half the year! Ye olde New England winters are unkind.

Miss RWD? You're crazy! I have RWD car now, actually first car ever, I've always had 4x4s and it's soooo tough to drive in the rain and snow! I'll probably never buy another. I'd gladly take a Camry on a snowy or rainy day. I'm a little south of New England but I always like to have a soft top. The warm days are few and far between so gotta enjoy them to the fullest!

I would love to have an LC. You might be able to tell by my user name, I had a '01 4Runner that I offroaded and it was an awesome truck, 12 years, 185k miles, not a single problem. There's nothing like a Toyota. The only reason I went with a Jeep instead was the soft top and they are $10k less. The Toyotas are worth it though, the Jeep rides like hell and the interior is cheap. LCs are awesome but the price gets me. I always check out fleabay for them and they get up there $$$ wise.

Manker Nichia Quad with a McGizmo clip added to solve that stupid clip on clip mess.

Similar to my metal 1xAAA post few weeks back, but now with latest DQG Tiny addition. Some fisheye effect with the Galaxy S7 camera, oh well, you get the idea. Happy Saturday.

Wait, you mean everybody else doesn't buy at least one of every available option? I guess I took the saying "if two is one, then one is none a little too literal...

They do...i bought 3 noctigon meteors to see which one i liked. Turns out xpg2 4000k :D
The others will now be moved on. And may i add, disappointed with the whole nichia hype..... Doesnt do it for me

Oh and the M43 xpg2 4000k is awesome!!! I absolutely LOVE IT! Beautiful Beautiful tint

Hey mr torch, your not alone with nichia not floating your boat. As with pretty much everything, we all have preferences. When i 1st tried a 219b i was very underwhelmed, in fact it took 2 yrs for me to appreciate. Being used to CW colour temps, just looked warm and orange :laughing:.... Crazy bit now, CW look.........well cold and blue. I am quite fond of the 4000k and 5000k nichia's, sometimes it just takes time to adjust and get used to.

If not already(i like the xpg2 4000k also) try out the 4000k xpl HI, real nice!

I will be looking out for warmer tints now for flooders....soon as i turned it on it struck a cord with me. Such an easy Going light to the eyes
I wont rule out nichia yet then. Ill try a 90+ CRI in a warmer tint and see if thats any better. The one i have is 83 CRI 5000k and its "ok" but not good enough to keep
