Maybe that WAS from the night before?





On another note: for some reason CPF has uncharacteristically not been sending me updates as people have posted on the PF18 thread, so I've fallen behind. I'll reply to as many back pasts as I can this afternoon, but sorry if I miss yours for some reason.

For now, one particular person has suggested that perhaps all roads lead to PF18? Or something like that at least...

[TOOCOOL]

If ne1 has a C mag that use's alkaline batts has an LED and is cheap I need one for my boss

[milkyspit]

Sooo, seems like I killed the thread asking about kids! Does anyone else have requests of things they'd like to see? I remember that from earlier threads... Personally, I'd love to see a Polarion in person if anyone going has one...

I'd love to see a Polarion and/or a Maxabeam if anyone has one.

(...and you didn't kill the thread.)

I have a spare Malkoff maglite insert... have to check if it's for C or D, but if it works for you, I do have some hosts and we can work something out.

If anyone wants to car pool from putnam-westchester NY let me know PM so we can work it out
Just know I tend to stay till the early morning hours

[Bimmerboy]

I think I'm finally going to swing by again... as long as it doesn't rain. My car, bald rear tires, and wet roads seriously don't mix (already lost one bimmer that way).

So if the roads are dry, I'm there! Haven't seen some of you guys in such a long time.

[Kid9P]

Nice dude! We finally get to meet
Hope it doesn't rain!

[Bimmerboy]

Nice dude! We finally get to meet

Looking forward to it, man!

Well, I sold my Polarion in a weak moment and Karl is going to Arizona instead of PF18 so, his Polarion and Max are out. Hopefully someone else can bring one!

On another note: The group buy for the Abyss has been extended!

[Solscud007]

Well Mac is coming and bringing a handle for my Hellfighter. I can't wait. Does anyone have 4x 26650s to power it up so we can play with it? I havent bought any yet and it is too close to PF18.

[copperfox]

Scott did you get my PM?


Also, if anyone has a SF X300/X400 I'd love to see it.

[Solscud007]

copperfox, I only have a X200, TLR-1, and TLR-4 (TLR has laser) I will bring them along with my other weapon lights. Oh yeah I have a Ti CR123 Quark body. I will bring it so you can try it out.

I dont mind driving down but I dont plan to stay out too late. I have a shooting match on Sunday in Croton-on-Hudson. But if you want to carpool, PM me.

I think I have another 4 26650's I could bring...I have ~ 6 for the Big Bruiser and at least 4 for the 4Sevens S10 and S12's.

Remind me so I don't forget to pack them.

That would be fantastic. Yes please bring them. How shall I remind you?

[TEEJ]

Post here at the last minute before you go.

I'm only ~ 1.5 hr away from there, and will probably leave my house ~ 11 am-ish

[Solscud007]

will do. thanks again!!

I have the Orange 26650 cells from Batteryspace.com (I think they are teal now) 6 or 8 of them, I'll have them with me.
Do you have a battery carrier made or should I bring a 1" PVC tube? Connector Wires?

[WadeF]

Any last minute requests for plates, cups, napkins, etc? I'm probably going to bring my wife and two boys along so they can see what this PF thing is all about. I may have to cut out early if they don't find it as wildly exciting as I do! :P

Also I'll try to Tweet out pics and stuff from http://twitter.com/flashlightguy

I should be good. The handle holds 4x26650s like a big maglite.

[sledhead]

If anybody has a Moddoolar 3 mode pocket rocket I'd love to see one.

Gonna be a good one!

[nein166]

Ah ha that kind of handle

Oh and bring nerf guns to demo weaponlights on
This one has a built in red aspheric laser beam

[Solscud007]

Way ahead of you haha on the nerf

[Solscud007]

Teen, please bring 26650s. Thanks

[TEEJ]

Teen, please bring 26650s. Thanks

I'm older than that, but somehow guessed you meant me.



On the plus side...I packed'm

[turboBB]

So what's the latest? Has everyone gathered yet? I should hopefully be there in a few hours. Here's the list of gear I'll be bringing for show and tell (unless someone has already brought any of these then I won't bother):

LIGHTEN7
Max L2A, Elite M1A, Elite M1B

NITECORE
Intellicharger i4

NITEYE
EYE30, EYE25

SUNWAYMAN
M11R, V11R

XTAR
S1 Prod., WK21

Also, any specific requests on drinks/chips?

[scout24]

Made it out out to the Milky Lab for a few hours with my Wife, a nice, scenic 175 mile roundtrip on the Goldwing. Nice to put some faces to names finally! Got a bit cool on the ride home, but not bad. Nice to see so many cool lights in one place, you guys make me look good! So many Nerf guns, too... Wish I could have stayed for the Quarry trip, maybe next time. Dave's Volt was neat, and I got to see a Titanium Innovations L35, and IIRC a BVH? Ma_Sha's light with the MASSIVE aspheric? Wow... And the only modded Infinity Ultra I've seen, ceracoated no less! Kid in a candy store and all... Good to meet everyone, had fun, looking forward to next time. Thanks to the Clawson's for your hospitality!

[turboBB]

Boy, that was great fun indeed! Same here, great to put some faces to the online personas! I took some pics and will post them later but for those that inquired, here's the thread on the PVC LMD:
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...eedback-please!)

I'll try to post all the part numbers later but again, it's literally:
- 3 x 4" 90 deg elbows, two are M to F and one is F to F connections
- any old piece of glass plate at least 4" wide
- your light meter of choice that is good for measuring LED's
- and last but not least a decently regulated light w/a known value

Thx again goes to Scott and his family for hosting. It's my first but certainly won't be my last!

P.S. @ KartRacer - EYE30 review is here, (XTAR S1 is still in the pipeline).

[nein166]

WooHoo!
