Is there a reason why I don't see that flashlight on shiningbeam.com?
\As expected, my MG PLI Cree MC-E arrived in the mail today from Shining Beam.
Little disappointed that there were no operating instructions, warranty papers, or retail box included - just a bubble mailer containing the MG PLI Cree MC-E flashlight and a small zip-lock packet containing the additional tactical switch, lanyard, 3 O-rings, green G.I.D switch boot, and a .7835 O.D x .4115 I.D x .060 thick washer.
When I first powered it on, it had 5 modes: Low > Mid > High > Strobe > SOS (and what seemed like an extended runtime locater beacon slow flash 6th mode), however a few minutes later all I get are 3 modes: Low > Mid > High.
Anyone know how to activate all 5 or 6 modes?
Err... What 5/6 modes?
The PLI has only 3 modes (low > med > high).
Hi Guys,
I have two 5-mode PLI available. It uses same circuit board as the 3-mode, but with the SOS and Strobe enabled. If anyone is interested please let me know. The price is $53.
I also have one with only 1 mode (high), I think when they try to customize the 5 mode into 3, they accidentally turn off the low and medium modes as well. This one will only be selling for $40.
You can Paypal directly to me at [email protected].
Shipping fee is $5.95 for international, and $2.75 for domestic. With the exception of Canada, which is $2.95.
Actually, there are 3-mode and 5-mode versions of the MG PLI MC-E. See below quote from: http://cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showpost.php?p=2308565&postcount=30
Anybody ever try to see how long they could use their MG PLI on high?
Yeah, I got ~60min on an AW 18650.
When I'm cycling with it though my run-time is much longer, infact i've never had to swap out a cell during a ride. Medium and even low are often enough. And then, being a flashaholic, there are times when put it on high and I light up my 'back-up' p7 too
By the way recDNA, I'm glad you finally got one of these. I've been reading you debating it for sooo loooong.
Best,
Linger
Thanks
I'll probably buy another one too.
I'm also curious what the longest anybody has gone on primaries (CR123) (shh) even though we're not spose to..

Voids your warranty tho ............
Bryan told you there is a time limit.
You should get 18650's for long runs.

The cost of rechargeables and a charger would never be recouped at the rate I use batteries.
So true - with rechargeables it's almost free lumens. When I have primaries in the light I'm always in the back of my mind aware that when that battery is spent it's done; with the rechargables I can shine my lights all I want, and it's no problem, just charge 'em up again, which costs almost nothing in electricity.yeah, but if you had rechargables you'd use it so much more often.
When I got my first 16340 flashlight (and also my first 16340 cell) I ran through a full cycle every night, made excuses to go walk the dog

Anybody know the best way to get the head off mine has a milky residue on the inside of lens and I would like to try and get the donut out of the hotspot like you use to be able to do on the older batch.
