ROP OWNERS: SIGN IN!! :D

[KevinL]

I didn't want to pollute the MiniFAQ/Master Thread with too many random sign ins, preferring to leave that one for questions, but I also wanted to find out how many ROP owners there are.

Please keep this thread related to sign-in.
If you have a question about construction, design, or otherwise, try the MiniFAQ/Master Thread.
Your questions are more likely to be answered there. Thank you!!

This mod has grown far beyond anything I imagined when I first dreamed it up. It was designed to solve some problems we had back then, it's not only solved those, it's outlasted them. These problems no longer exist in their original forms. It's probably even driven some new creations based on it or for it. Thanks to all of you for your votes of confidence!! Even though I may nag at you to use quality cells in your lights from time to time (I mean well, really! )

So let's start the vote counting!! Just post what you have, and if applicable, a body and battery configuration since part of the appeal is all the different battery packs available.

You may have more than one ROP, feel free to state all of them and claim your place(s)

ROP 2D Hi w/ 6xAA Eneloops, FM 6AA>2D adapter, FM MOP cammed reflector, Borofloat lens.

ROP 2D Hi w/ 6xAA Nosrams, FM 6AA>2D adapter, FM MOP cammed reflector, Magcharger lens. (Now in the possesion of my girlfriend).


It seems the ROP is very much alive and well. What is not to like though? 700(ish) lumens of quality, guilt free incandescent illumination in one of the best hosts available. Or, indeed, a multitude of suitable hosts.
I find 2D to be the ideal size. I can carry that everywhere in my rucksack. I use it alot more often than I anticipated.

[drew2001]

drew2001, 2D, 6 x AA cbp 1650mah, MOP

drew2001, 2D, 6 x AA elite 1700mah, MOP

Great lights for me. And either one of these above mag's outputs are brighter than my 2C, 2 x C AW 3300mah, SMO, frosted p5761, w/ AW's multi level driver.

I still need to test/check options to find out why it is less output, as many here say the p5761 should be brighter.
