    Thanks. Well I did place the order. Why isn't it here yet? LOL Here is another review with them side by side outside in actual use. It's sure looking like I'm gonna like the new light but will miss the old one......

    Thrunite TN4A (XP-L V6, 4xAA) review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    I'm gonna pull the trigger on the HI. Even if it actually is 100 lums lower, no one (even me) would see the difference. I've always wondered what my light would have been like with a smooth reflector. Guess I'm gonna find out. Too bad about the discount.That's a helluva light for 30 something bucks.

    Thrunite TN4A (XP-L V6, 4xAA) review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    Hmm I'm still a little confused the TN4 (XPL) shows 1150 lumens even in NW. The TN4 XPL hi shows 1050 lumens. Both appear to have smooth reflector Edit: I believe "smooth peel" is translation issue. If the textured one is "orange" peel the smooth one must be "smooth' peel. with "peel' being the...

    Arizona flashaholic get-together

    What a great time. It was a bonus to see our beloved mistress again. It's been YEARS. There are some really cool lights out there in the world, fer sure. Because I didn't think I was coming, I didn't bring any lights except for a couple daily soldiers. I did enjoy Bryson's quad copter. I'm...

    Best easy replacement for LUX III still SSC P4?

    Gosh I wish I had known about this. I got 14mm boards because they're the diameter of the H22 heatsink pedestal and sanded off the locating nubs on the heatsink. I've got 8mm boards on the way now LOL. Datiled, does somebody sell the copper shims? It'd be a little tricky for the home brewer to...
