new mini SOLARFORCE L2 ...

[Jesseri]

seaside, it's the same as pewter color on maglites.

L2m feels quite solid. I like it atleast as much as 6P. Solarforce L2 feels definately cheaper than 6P but L2m doesn't. It is really quite bang for the buck.

6p led vs. L2m.

Jesseri, thank for the picture.

That color surely looks cool.
Knurling at L2 body looks bit coarse than that of tail part, and I guess that's what make L2 look relatively cheap. It looks like L2M has the same knurling at everywhere, and it looks very nice and cute. Thanks again.

Hey guys, doing a possible lego here.

I am curious to know if this KD link ( http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=6776 ) is the same L2 body you guys are talking about. Is this body compatible with a Surefire 6P head and a G2/6P stock tailcap? I am hoping to get a malkoff M30 and run this light off an RCR123a. Help is greatly appreciated.

Getting one of those L2+L2M combo off ebay and adding an 18650 ext and modding to a forward clickly is really appealing to me right now😎 Lots of possible configurations in there. L2M with the DX Q25A drop in would be a cool EDC setup that is easy on the eyes.

i have been using the L2 with Q2 5A emitter drop in for almost a year with Fenix forward tactical switch module.

Well my will to resist just faded, ordered the L2+L2M combo in grey and will be getting a Fenix forward switch to transplant in My Q2 5A drop in got here a while ago and I've been testing it using an 18650 and some wire, I really like the tint but my temporary setup is not so practical 🙂 Luckily it seems pretty bright even on just one 18650, about on par with L2D turbo I'd say.

I wonder if the L2m will take a single aa cell.

Let's see! If I unscrew the head and tail a bit...

Good thing I have a drop in module that takes 1-5 volts for single cell action. Tested at 2 hours on one AA cell with my warm emitter.
BTW the tailcap has a forward clicky now that feels solid like a maglite but stiffer.

Can anyone explain how the UI works with the L2m 5-mode model?

It had memory within like 5 seconds. Reverse click. Half tap to change modes

I notice that some might need some lube (Nyogel etc) to have a good contact. The machining on them is excellent.

It's a reverse clickie, so likely similar to other clickies... I would think you fully depress clickie to turn on, then depress slightly for next level and so forth.

jake25 beat me to it... btw, this light does have a memory mode?! That is fantastic!

I just received my 2 Solarforce lights.

These lights are a very good deal for the price!

I'm impressed with the build quality.

I purchased a Solarforce L2MGF-R2 (Single Mode) and Solarforce L2G-UV (Ultra Violet).

Awww... your picture makes me count the days. It's been two weeks, and mine is not arrived yet. What's your impression on the beam? Can I expect hear it from you about it if I may?

 

[Toohotruk]

Definitely good looking lights...thanks for sharing your great pics! :thumbsup:

I ordered my lights from the Solarforce Store.

Shipping took 11 days.

As you can see from the above post that is what the beam looks like. The tint on my R2 is on the cool side.

I just received the light today so I haven't had much time with the light.

It's much bigger than I thought it would be.

I like the workmanship.

As usual, fantastic photos :thumbsup:

I'm really trying not to buy one of these lights....if I do it'll be my P60 gateway drug 😀

 

[seaside]

Thanks, ernsanada.
It is kind of you showing us those nice pictures and explanation. 🙂

Hi Ernie, thanks for the nice pics....have you done a runtime ?
I am very anxious to find if the light has regulation ....:thinking:

Re: new mini SOLRAFORCE L2 ...

Wow. I find this funny because I have been looking for a 3P clone for months, and bought FiveMega's 1x16340 body to make my own. I'll give the solarforce a try also. Thanks for the heads up!

Here's my 3P clone, with Solarforce bezel and forward clicky tailcap:

thats funny i did the same thing only i used a RPM clicky, and one of the solar force bezels that come with two bezel ring's (one SS klingon bezel, and one black aluminum crenelated bezel the A1001 i think is the model number) i like it a lot! i use a surefire P60L and a M30.

Re: new mini SOLRAFORCE L2 ...

That forward clicky is friggin huge! I was gonna get one but now that I see it hell no! I did modify the original tailcap to forward clicky.
