Just found the forum last night.
New to LED lights, have been waiting for some time now for them to reach the power/price point to make them acceptable to me.
First foray into LEDs was purchase of a two pack of Sam's Club 3 AAA 1 watt "Element" lights. These were pretty impressive for the price so I went back and got another package. Basically they are brighter and much smoother light than my Maglite 3D incandescant lights!
I have 5 3D maglites I want to convert to at least 3 watt LED, and have been watching that market for a couple months now. I placed an order for 5 of the K2 conversions at $24.95 ea from "Quality Items Online", but after weeks of waiting, called and they still have not gotten the white modules from Luxeon.
Was gambling that they were actually going to be better than the already available 3 watt conversions at $19.95 ea.
Now Maglite is going to have 3 watt conversions, Action-Lights price around $17. Of course at this time they are also "vapor-ware".
Not sure whether to keep waiting on the K2's, or get the $19.95 conversions, or wait on Maglite's conversions.
Anyone here have any comments on what they think the differences in these three are/will be? Worth waiting longer for the K2's?
