Just recieved my lionheart Friday 12am /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif To have multiple brightness levels in such a tiny light is simply brilliant. The highest brightness level is blinding!
Thank you Mr Bulk and Merry Christmas!!

I got my 2 today once agin all i can say is dam what a light
thanks

 

[rikvee]

just a quick question, with a 168A size tube, can the LH run off two CR123's, or is that a big no-no?

 

[Trev1960]

Big no-no, Rikvee!!!!!! This is exactly one of the reasons Charlie released it as a 150, so that people could not try and use 2 x 123.

 

[MR Bulk]

Heh heh heh, thanks everyone, and No No No(!) to rikvee!

 

[Haesslich]

Rikvee - the LH is a direct-drive light... and putting 6V into an LED meant for 3.7v or so would mean magic smoke, plus the circuits would probably also start a nice fire. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[rikvee]

thank you for the quick replies, everyone!
tried to find that answer by searching the CPF, not so simple...

 

[easilyled]

I received #257 on Wednesday - Mine has a pure white beam and seems very bright - either I struck lucky or they're all excellent. I'm very impressed ...

So is everyone I show it too.

Thanks Charlie!

 

[MR Bulk]

Actually easilyled, the point most may be missing here is that only a handful have posted negatively about beam quality, and there are nearly 500 LionHearts out there...perhaps we should think of it as a few have "struck UNlucky"...nevertheless, suffice to say the IMS 27.5mm reflector will not be used again in anything I do until I have assurances that QC has indeed been improved. Even a handful is too many.

On that note, I forgot to mention that VP Rhoads also offered to personally take a look at anyone's light who would be willing to send in their entire unit to him for inspection. I am sold out but this is open to anyone else, especially those who think their beams could be better. Let me know and I'll make arrangements with Greg.

 

[Haesslich]

My artifacts aren't any worse than I had with a M@g.. and actually quite a bit better - it's just the hotspot isn't as 'smooth' about the edges as I'm used to, but the size more than makes up for any minor issues like that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Tech a Billy]

Got my LH's here in NJ. Really fine work Mr. B! I kinda like the beam the way it is.

Now I'm looking for the perfect pouch to carry it in. The QIII pouch fits but just barely. I wear a suit everyday, and I'd like something in black nylon that would completely enclose the light with no snaps or buckles showing.

 

[easilyled]

Charlie, judging by other's comments, they're nearly all excellent - that's what I meant.

When I said I struck lucky, I meant more the tint which is such a nice white. (white as snow!) - although I'm sure you're using an excellent bin (TWOJ ?) which probably accounts for this - since I haven't seen any others I can't compare, but all I can say is that I'm very happy with mine so thanks for your craftsmanship and expertise

[MR Bulk]

Thanks guys. Yes easilyled, it is indeed a TWOJ that was installed in all HA3 Nat's.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif I was so hoping my Lionheart would arrive today, especially since I'm leaving town for the next week. My mail just arrived consisting only of advertisements. I guess I won't see it until next year! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Oh well, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

#243 arrive @Ottawa/Canada on xmas eve. How cool is that /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

As I unscrewed the head, the lense dropped on the table (2-4 inches) and chipped a little bit. It's not seriouc but I would like to know where can I buy replacement lense?

Excellent light.

 

[MR Bulk]

www.flashlightlens.com recently sold out of them but they are bringing some in quite soon as I understand. Ask for Chris...

 

[bricksie]

#217 just arrived in Toronto, also on Christmas eve (Santa came early). Haven't had time to play yet, but looks great (except for the ding in the HA near the serial number). Got to go to Charlie's site to download the interface PDF...

 

[MR Bulk]

Whaaa...?
