im going to send mine in for a LED upgrade once the LED arrives. going to try out a 5000k XP-L HI and see how it does in the boom reflector. might be awesome, might be a dud.

i ordered mine from intl-outdoor. however, mtnelectronics has them in stock now. if i dont receive them by Monday im going to go ahead and order more from mtnelectronics. for what its worth, i will send jason 2 LED's because accidents happen. so, he may end up with an extra.

I just received back my updated blue label. originally it was a XM-L with a TIR. now its a XP-L HI with a boom reflector. also had the driver upgraded to the Icarus. Jason even did another report card for my light... over 980 lumens now!!! nice even tint across the beam, and an intense hotspot. im going to have to figure out how to do beamshots one of these days!

Congrats on your Blue Label.
For beamshots I use two tripods, one for the camera and the other as the light holder.
