This brings me to my question. I have had some time to play with the Sundrop XR-U and have not been able to settle on a light engine to keep in there. Out of curiosity, what light engine do you use most in your XR-U?
Cheers!

Hi guys,
I haven't followed this thread that closely because it is a bit of a distraction and in some regards just a sore subject. I missed Joel's question which is easy and painless to respond to.
I use a SunDrop XR-U now every night to shave by and I have the 083B LE in it. It works great on low and the concentrated flood beam is better than the PD-Mule I had been using and the CRI of the gives me a better picture of my ugly mug (the only time I really look at it)
The speculation on NDA's and non-compete is speculation and not necessarily a subject that would receive clarification. Personally, I don't and won't sign a NDA because I don't want to sign a document that would require an attorney to interpret for me or potentially defend on my behalf. Any non compete type agreement or document would fall under the same consideration.
As for intrinsically safe, I don't think the McClicky or PD would provide any spark or cause ignition of a flammable gas because the switch contact is inside of a sealed system provided the seals are performing as they should. It is my vague understanding that intrinsically safe puts some restrictions on the electrical conductivity of the exposed materials themselves and likely consideration of whether they are a carrier of electrical current.
I would guess that a plastic version of the PD for instance where you also had a boot covering the piston and isolating it from the external environment might be qualified as intrinsically safe but it's a guess. I recall some discussion with some of the guys at Pelican and I got the impression that there was a big heap of qualifications and hoops to jump through to pass some of these safety standards.
