HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR-X!
5 years old, July 2008.

Much thanks to Burnt_Retinas and Rothrandir for making the MR-X a reality. This is a real milestone for LEDs.

Pics from the previous build...

Ok, keeping close tabs on this thread to make sure I get one this time

Reserving a spot...

wasabe64 · #5 03-18-2005, 09:45 PM

Ditto

shannow · #6 03-18-2005, 09:52 PM

same...

rick258 · #7 03-18-2005, 09:53 PM

Also still in.

bajaiman · #8 03-18-2005, 09:56 PM

As posted in the previous thread, I'm still in.

Sinjz · #9 03-18-2005, 10:01 PM

I have no idea what's going on here, but what the heck. I'll reserve a spot. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yo, drop me an email if you make em, count me in for 1, although I am pretty busy lately to drop by your place.

Let tell you guys the legendary MR-X and PocketMate-W are awesome. No words can describe them when I first tested them. Even with the blinds pulled down during day time the beam is so intense that it turns day in to night [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

I supply the host. I would go for a PocketMate-X instead. I always dig for variable. XYOx will be my choice!

Pi_is_blue · #11 03-19-2005, 10:01 AM

If the new MR-X lights have adjustable brightness settings, I would be in for one. I am thinking that I would like to run it off of Pila 168A cells, so would an MR-X in a C-cell body be possible?

cy · #12 03-19-2005, 10:08 AM

2X 18500 with a protection circuit in a 2C m*G is one sweet setup. Or 3x CR123 with a rubber hose sleeve

a tri-Ubin setup puts out aprox. same lumens as MR-X X3T with a smaller footprint. MRX will destroy tri-Ubin for throw.

kevindick · #13 03-19-2005, 10:20 AM

As I wrote in Sasha's version 2 of thsi thread, I'm in if they're X-bin.

NITEFISH · #14 03-19-2005, 12:35 PM

"X" bin, I'm in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I like the sugestions of 2c, rechargable option, and variable brightness.
Not another light... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mpr.gif[/img]

yaesumofo · #15 03-19-2005, 01:00 PM

I will go for one.
Thanks

Good to get some more input here. Yes, I am reasonably keen on a smaller 2C form factor also. Rechargeable, variable output, X-BEAST... I have yet to hear back from that darn supplier of mine regarding availability of the LED so.... at the moment, this is still vapourware [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

InFlux · #17 03-19-2005, 03:38 PM

I'm still in the #2 slot from the previous thread, right? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

MY · #18 03-19-2005, 04:47 PM

Please put my John Hancock down for one Mr. X-BEAST.

Regards

seattlite · #19 03-19-2005, 05:09 PM

X-Bin...I'm in.

BC0311 · #20 03-19-2005, 05:15 PM

Me too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

gregw · #21 03-19-2005, 07:31 PM

I believe I was third in line for this new run as posted in the old thread. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

With today's new stuff like the Fatman and nFlex boards, I'd definitely want something smaller with a variable output. Goes without saying that an "X" bin is a must. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif[/img]

MSaxatilus · #22 03-19-2005, 08:03 PM

Hotbeam,

I am actually already a Mr-X owner, but if you go to a 2C size Mr. X, put me down on your list for another! That would truely be a magnificant light!

Will the original MR-X's run fine on 8AA NiMH batteries?

The original MR-X's are made FOR 6AA NiMh batteries. i.e. Alkalines don't supply the required current to power MR-X at it's full capabilities.

shannow · #25 03-19-2005, 08:28 PM

Actually 6AA [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hey I want on that list too!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I knew this was for a MR-X of some sort. I just don't know what form or what price. I went back to the orginal thread, after posting, and read the last ~40 or so post. It didn't really clear it up, but then again I was pretty tired. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'm still on the list for BOTH products. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

jarris50 · #27 03-19-2005, 11:35 PM

Count me in.....

jhung · #28 03-20-2005, 02:12 PM

Please put me on the list for one.

easilyled · #29 03-20-2005, 05:43 PM

Please put me on the list for this as well (X-bin)

hotbeam · #30 03-20-2005, 07:19 PM

Thanks for the continued interest. No news from my contact yet. I'll check with my "other" contact and see if he can assist. Can't hurt having too many, right? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
