if you have a turbo head for sf 6p or equiv. answer this

[pjenkins00]

i think it's a lanyard system and the regular tailcap is underneath it. i believe it screws off.

Chris, It's the Z21 tailcap. I got it from arizonagunrunners.com for $9. It turns the P-Series light into a twist on/off only. No push-button. There's a nipple with a lanyard ring. PK takes better close-ups than I do so I'll post links to his pics.

Your 12PT (although I call mine the 12PMT because it's a "get out of my face" light)
Is a dingle-dangle light! Leave it a'hanging there and it'll burn a hole in your carpet!

Nice fotogeraf DavidW, it's useful to get the whole flashlight overview as well as the detail...

David W,

Is the beam quality of the MN60 in the T1 as tight as the T1 with N2? Are you sticking with the T1/N2 for size and/or beam?

Also, do you have any sources for the A19 extenders?

Brightnorm,
I can only speak for the lamps I have, but my N2 is round & tight. My MN60 has a 4 or 5 to 1, length to width beam ratio. The MN61 & the MN16 are much better "bright lamp" options. TX

 

[DavidW]

I haven't tried the N2 yet. When the current set of batts are burned out I'll make the switch. The MN60 has a round spot with 'wings'. So the hot-spot is oblong. Like txwest describes. But the N1 was nice and round. From what I've read the N2 is just as good.

I got my A19's from www.lagger-pro.com

 

[txwest]

David,
The N2 is just like the N1, but much brighter. You'll like it. TX

 

[Josh]

i love the N2! i lost 2 outta 3 of my aunts dogs on sat, and the T2 with the N2 is very good for finding lost muts.

the tight focused beam is good for many things like, pissing the neighbors off or getting your self noticed by passing state troopers(no, i didn't shine it at him) and finding the dog(still missing one..)oh well

I just received my pile of SF parts including the normal 9P parts, an A19 extender, a 3" Turbo head, an N2 3-cell LA for the TH, an MN60 4-cell LA for the TH, and an N62 4-cell LA for the TH.

The P90 works as expected. I can live with the oval beam.

The N2, as many have said said, has a beautiful tight round reach-out beam.

The MN60 beam is the unsatisfactory. I was expecting a wider uneven beam, but I was shocked at the peanut shaped hole in the center of the beam. Does anyone know of any washers or spacers that might be used to refocus the MN60 beam? I doubt if WriteRight would be enough to smooth out that hole. I can't believe that this lamp look the same in an M4 reflector?

The N62 also has a hole in the center of the beam, albeit smaller.

I've read that the MN61 has the nicest 4-cell beam, but I'm hesitant to buy one given what the N60 and MN61 look like.

I really hope that someone has a magic cure spacer suggestion.

lemlux,

No magic solution, unfortunately, but I have a question. WHERE did you get that A19? I have been going nuts trying one

Is the A19 knurled? For some reason I thought they were smooth.

 

[Chris M.]

Ted, you wouldn`t happen to have been corresponding with little Aragorn, have you? Or is there a laughter quota that needs to be met, and since Trev upgraded to version 2.0 (less HaHas)) you`ve opted to help meet that quota?

Or have I drunk too much and should just get to the point? Yep, that`s the one.....

Anyways I would assume you`re responding to the reference to "A19"?

A19 is not an anacronym or secret code, but a SureFire accessory part number. It is a screw-on extension adapter that allows an extra "123 type" battery to be added, along with a higher voltage lamp assembly, primarily to a 2 cell light. It essentially converts your 2 cell SureFire light into a 3 cell (brighter) one without buying a whole new torch, and sort of saves money too.

Pretty nifty really...

 

[txwest]

Chris,
I think he's refering to the whole list:

Here's the final result of my "Lego set". An M4'sh Sure Fire. It's a 9P w/A19, T1, MN60 and Z21. (It could easily be a 6P with 2 A19's.) But I think I'll go with the 9P, T1, N2 and Z41.

M4, 9P, A19, T1, MN60, Z21, 6P, N2, & the ever popular Z41.

But that's why you hang around, right?

v2.0 laughs in exponentents like- haha to the 100000th power.

you cant get a19 but here is some cool stuff.

2 A10= 1 A19

1 A10 + 1 A14= 2 A19

Looks like New Math to me. TX

Ok that's it. I know what you're all doing, I know you're all PMing each other behind my back, "yeah, yeah, go ahead, use more acronyms, we've got him on the edge now!" - trying to drive me crazy with acronyms. Well I'm onto your game, and I'm telling you it won't work! It won't work! hahahahahhahahaheeeeeeerraaarrrrggg!!!!
