Hey Rey, check out the clip on the Manker Timeback II. It is machined from Ti, and held on by one screw. Something like that might be cool. It could even be machined from the same material as the flashlight. I recently ordered a replacement clip for my Spyderco Techno machined from MokuTi, so...
So, I just figured out why mine looks so green. I took it apart to swap out the LED, and discovered that the LED in it had "self-de-domed". The dome was sitting on top of the emitter still, but when I pulled of the butterfly centering ring, the dome stayed in it, rather that staying on the LED...
I received my C57 today. Very nice light! Excellent fit and finish! Love the machining and the way it all fits together.
Only one problem, the tint of the XP-L. It is super green to my eye. I tried comparing it to a bunch of other lights from between 4000K and 6500K, XP-L HD, XP-L HI, XM-L2, ...
Hey Dan, any chance you might make some XP-L WASP mcpcb's that are the same tint as the drop-in's available? I very much prefer the whiter white. My WASP is on the low end of the 4000K-5000K range, while my drop-in is at the top.
So today, I finally got around to reprogramming my drop in so it matches my Wasp head, and I'm having an interesting issue with it. On two cells, it operates the same as the Wasp head, but the I power it with a single cell, as near as I can tell, when I get to high mode, which I have as mode 4...
My XP-L drop in is also exhibiting the same step down symptoms at 10 seconds on 2x18350 cells, also regardless of the host. BTW, I do prefer the tint of this drop in to my XP-L WASP head. More neutral...
I have an XP-L Wasp head and just got an XP-L drop-in. I would call the Wasp 4500K, and the drop somewhere between 4750-5000K. I like the drop color better. Now I want a new board for my Wasp to match as I prefer neutral. Hope that helps...
