Sniper, I'm not sure what to make of that... for now I'll add you to the list for one MC2, if that's okay with you. It's a non-binding list (although I do hope folks are joining with good intentions at least) so you would be able to back out if you eventually decide the MC2 is worthless, or that the asking price amounts to highway robbery! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Of course, I hope that's not the case, you end up buying one, and are delighted with the results. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That's 'zactly what I had in mind. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I have been holding off buying one of the high-zoot lights, due to poor (IMHO) run time on very expensive batteries, and a high cost of ownership.
That's why I just make do with my 3D mag mod, MJLEDS in my mini mags, a UK 4AA eLED, and a Streamlight 3C Twin Task, but I would like a good EDC light. The XM-3,which seemed close to what I had in mind is alas, gone the way of free lunch and the Dodo Bird.
Some lights cost so much, I would be reluctant to use, let alone carry one.
Your description is intriguing, and the prototype is obviously in flux. Maybe call it the Shape Shifter for the time being? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Is that PVC? Anyway, when the performance, size and price are more certain, be sure it will be strongly considered.
There are mechanical and electronic marvels out there, both manufactured in somebody's garage and by large corporations, but some do lack elegance.
I will never be able to afford one, but I have a secret lech for that Spanish creation--the Bonobo light--no, that's not right! A Bonobo is an APE! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Just imagine, a light for knuckle draggers! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eeew.gif Baaaaddd .... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Anyway, keep us all posted.
