Sold/Expired SOLD.. McG Sapphire (Original) with PRICE DROP!

[HKdude]

I've got an original Sapphire for sale, in very nice condition. It has a few small key marks/scratches from pocket carry, and it has a slightly off center LED. Or might be the seal around the LED is off center, hard to tell. I didn't notice this as the beam looks fine and on center, but a fellow CPF'er pointed it out. It looks kinda wonkie when off, so I dropped a pad of QTC material in the bottom of the tube and got it to light up at a very low level, then photographed the LED. Neat idea, huh?
Anyways, this doesn't seem to have any effect on the beam pattern, but might drive those with OCD a little crazy, so check out those photos.

That's so close to perfectly centered it's crazy! The sapphire is a floody light without a reflector, and as the OP said, it won't make any difference to the beam pattern. Nice light. Do you remember which emitter is in this one?

The LE I am using consists of a Nichia 310DS LED and it is overdriven at leat initially by the converter provided by Arc. Arc has had extensive experience with the converter and the Nichia LED's and I defer to their expertise on these matters.
...

the light engine changed in 2011, and continued to offer the 3mm LED
plus there was a new 5mm LED option in 2011, and again in 2016

Thank you Jon, I believe you are correct sir.

I bought this a few years ago from a member here, it's a first generation Sapphire.

Come on folks, it's had therapy, accepts it's "impairment", and is living a quiet, happy life. Take it home.....won't you?

Ah dang, for that price who can resist a second Sapphire?! I'll take it! Please PM PP info.

To be honest this one would get more love than the one I have which is a rare Sapphire Mule and I'm afraid to lose it as they NEVER come up for sale.

Re: WTS: McG Sapphire (Original) with PRICE DROP!

And as I have said before, why buy a cheap bright light when a dim expensive one will do?!
