Well, darn. Just got this beauty all the way from the UK from Easilyled (thanks, Daniel) in a trade. Would like to keep it but:


  • Pelican case is overflowing! :eek:


  • Son called this morning from college with those lovely words, "Dad, my truck maintenance/repairs are going to cost......"

So the fiscally responsible thing to do is share this beauty with someone else. Here's Daniel's great description:

Mint condition, Raw Aluminium Aleph-3 with custom body by CPF'er Ganp. It was modded by Icarus to a triple-XRE (Q5-WG). Icarus mods on Aleph-3 heads were famous not long ago and he is one of the cleanest and most talented modders on CPF. I also commissioned CPF'er Ganp to make a custom raw Al. body which matches the light excellently.

The output is 500+ OTF lumens with a great vanilla tint. The beam has to be seen to be believed. Its one of the smoothest I've come across and has both good throw and spill. It runs best on 2 RCR123s. There is a McE2S tail-switch for 2 levels.


What I'll add to that is that this thing is a THROWER! The three XREs have been aimed perfectly - there are no artifacts that I can find. Good spill, but long throw - think "Makai" (sorry, Don!) but brighter. Great, lightweight - the aluminum is shiny and new. Nice action on the tail switch - twist for low - then high - or twist for low, press for high, or press for low and high. Similar action to a Surefire.

It is as I received it from Daniel - mint condition

Going to sacrifice this one for $240 shipped CONUS, fees paid, although PP Gift would be appreciated! As always, first "I'll take it" posted here takes priority over PMs or emails, but questions can be sent to PM or email: [email protected] which is also my Paypal addy.

Sold to Lisantica...thanks CPF, and thanks, Lisa!!

Overseas buyers - EMS is typically around $40 - Priority One Rate International is typically $13. Please PM or email for exact price based on your location.

Damn...that really is a beauty! If only I had the money :mecry:

Good luck with your sale, although I'd be surprised if it wasn't gone today.

You got it, Lisa. It is a beauty - one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. These days the choices are tougher as related to what to part with - this was REALLY a tough one!
PM incoming!

She looks beautiful, although I might put the innards into my purple/blue swirly Aleph I bought from PoliceScannerMan.

:paypal:
:thanks:

Lisa..I doubt if the "innards" are your usual Aleph light engine. They may or may not be easily moved. Traditionally this sort of build in an Aleph 3 involves installation of a heat sink from the front of the head, and the emitters and reflectors are mounted on the heat sink.

:oops: Shucks, well happily it looks beautiful as it currently is.

I haven't even been on these forums that long and said to myself "watch, lisa's going to end up buying this" when I posted my comment.

Nice grab, Lisa! :thumbsup:

Was happy to prove you correct! :wave: :party:

It sure does. This is the second time in short order I've had to sit on my hands to keep myself from buying it.
I tried to do the same, but the triple emitters pushed me over the edge.
 
Re: FS - Icarus Triple-XRE Raw-Al. Aleph-3 with Ganp Body

It won't disappoint. It really is a beautiful light. It's one of the prettiest I (used to) own...can't wait to hear your impressions, Lisa.

Easilyled did a great job having this one built up! Enjoy!:twothumbs

I just realized this is Surefire "E" compatible! All the options for mix and match, it's going to be fun! :thumbsup:

Yeah, it gets that way after a while. You spend a while figuring out what it is you really like, and then once you're only buying lights you really like, it gets harder to part with them. But the up-side is the remaining lights you have are more satisfying to use.

GanP made some great stuff. My Griffin showed up a couple days ago, and it is chunky and delightful. :D
