Maglite XL100 Owner's Club

[CDavisJK]

Ordered 2 Black XL100s from Amazon, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

I have XL100 000078316, she hasn't even opened her package yet despite all the fun I was having with the various features last night.

I'm thinking about ordering her a Red one since that's her favorite color and gifting that one to my buddy.

Pretty awesome light for $35 :twothumbs


EDIT: I added a NovaTac pocket clip to mine. Works on head and tail, but if you use it on the tail then the battery connection sometimes doesn't work.

Nice looking clip. :thumbsup: I had the same issue with a "no-name" clip I reamed slightly to get it to fit.

Has anyone else found a clip that won't interfere with the electrical contacts?


Also, I gifted two of these to some friends (along with 2 sets of Duraloops) as their first LED lights. They are now converts. 😛

this Ra/HDS clip fits perfectly!; out of stock as far as I know http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=223771&page=2
but keep an eye out as there was no mod required. I got two and one landed on the XL100... ever more. The other hasn't found a home on my Ra/HDS lights... maybe I should buy a grey/gray XL100 and see how it looks with a blacken steel clip... but black on black is dern near perfect.

Just got my Xl100 yesterday at Home Depot!😀 Maglite hit a home run with this one! Would be nice if it had glass lens and could fit one good size lithium though. oh well im sure the modders will tackle this light in the months to come.:devil:

Nope.

 

[Batang Regla]

Is this best run using eneloops?

 

[Robin24k]

If you're looking for an economical way to power the light, rather than maximum runtime, then yes, NiMH is best.

 

[Batang Regla]

I really like the red color but its not free shipping at amazon.

 

[Robin24k]

Black is the most common, so the other colors are going to be marked up a bit. Check Ebay too.

Yay just ordered mine

 

[jamie.91]

I hope one of you guys can help me, i love the look of the xl100 but im not liking the UI, I see more and more about the xl50 popping up but i struggle to find one for sale in the uk even on ebay ?

Also what are the differenses between the xl50 and the xl100 exept the UI ?

Thanks jamie

 

[PCC]

The UI.

 

[Robin24k]

The XL50 is slated to hit US retail shelves in December, so you're not going to find many before then (action-lights.com shows the XL50 in stock though).

 

[i saw the light]

mine has xl100 small space then 000065530

Mines XL100 000014965... I read in a review of the XL50 that at some point Mag changed the emitter in the 100, upping it from 83 to 104 lumens - Does anyone know the Serial Number 'cut-off' point for this?

Tried searching the forums for the answer but having problems seeing the results... Something doesn't seem to be playing nice with me today! Love the discussions, otherwise...

 

[Robin24k]

I can't say for sure because your S/N is a little lower than mine, but it is over 10K, so I think you've got 104 lumens.

 

[StageofHistory]

Thanks for the reply and your help! That's good news for the most part, but a bit disappointed that the runtime on low will be reduced so much - I use it a lot as a night light in bed!

Cheers again...

 

[Robin24k]

The runtime on low should be at least 201 hours...why would it be reduced?

 

[StageofHistory]

Sorry for the lateness... I thought the stated specs on the new emitter would be the same as the XL50 - Detailed as 36 hours on low... Unless I missed something? Not a deal breaker, but also not anywhere near as impressive as the 201 hours I was expecting. Thanks again...SoH
