The reflectors to make these BHs Complete have arrived. See my latest post near the end of this thread. Thank You.

************************************************************

Remember when I ran out of BulkHeads for the VIP? Well, actually I only ran out of the reflectors that go in'em. I've been holding on to the last thirty or so of the complete heads themselves in hopes of getting more reflectors but it finally looks like what I told you was the absolute truth (has it ever Not been?), that there are No More Mystery Reflectors.

SO - I am selling the rest of the heads themselves, including bezel, body, all o-rings and even the UCL lens.

BUT - there's a funny story with the UCL lenses that I never told you about - they are all oversized by a couple of thousandths of an inch. A few minutes' worth of work with some medium grit sandpaper sanding around the edge and they drop right in. We (me and the HAT guys) all did this during assembly of the BulkHead run.

AND - the best news of all - the reflector from the Streamlight Tasklight 3AA is a DIRECT FIT, even makes a very (and I mean Very) close copy of the BH's beam pattern. Perfect drop-in fit and function, I promise.

THUS - you can now get a BH for your VIP including head, bezel, both o-rings, and the UCL lens (sanding not included). You only need to go through Streamlight for the Tasklight 3AA reflector (not more than a buck or two I'm sure), and will then have yourself a new, original VIP BulkHead.

I need $26 SHIPPED in the U.S. (int'l destinations will be a few bucks more). This is below my actual cost, scout's honor.

I have around two dozen blacks - and also FOUR bare aluminums...

Again, $26 shipped in the U.S.

With the LH coming on full-tilt pretty soon I just don't have the time to keep these pieces and fart around with sourcing reflectors and sanding lenses.

No need to reply here, just let me know via PayPal for $26 to [email protected] (add $3.15 Canada and $5.15 all other international addresses).

Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys, got about five PPs so far. Will be shipping them out on Monday.

BTW, the Tasklight reflector is a dead ringer for the Mystery Reflector, except black on the outside (non-reflective side, whereas the MR was brown outside). The orange-peel patterns may be slightly different, but the diameter/curvature/parabola is all identical.

Re: FS: VIP BulkHeads - NEW (but incomplete)

Just one bare aluminum BH remains. Bajaiman, does BrightGuy ship internationally? Let me know if you don't have any luck, and I will see what I can do.

Also I did not mean for anyone to buy an entire Tasklight, I am sure you can write Streamlight and tell them you just need the reflector. If they don't sell just parts then you might have to buy the light after all, but then - well whaddaya know? Ya went camping and fell down with the light in yore hand and ya broke the reflector! (just kidding, just kidding...) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Charlie...I've found the Tasklight from Ebay and they cost $32 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif ... I might just forget getting the tasklight just for the sake of using the reflector. I've got a black BH already so I'll use the original BH reflector instead.
Thank you so much for the offer to help me out /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif. Fortunately it won't be necessary now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Cheers.

Charlie,

I'll take one as well /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif As a sidenote I have a contact that was a Streamlight Master Distributor ( might still be for all I know) that I will check with on Monday. If he has a source for the reflectors maybe I can put together a larger purchase or at least provide a source.

Please let me know if you should be able to get a few of these reflectors. I need a replacement reflector for a friend and could use a backup.
