I have for sale my TnC Lith Lux V with XYOT. This is #1 of 10. Here is the original sales thread (which, I will add, is found here, in the Custom & Modified B/S/T): https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/105084
With it, comes a clicky for it, and also a 14500 battery tube. It currently is using the 2 X CR2 tube, which provide a significantly brighter light.
You notice the title says, "Near Mint." Here's the story: Chris, of TnC Custom Products, screwed in the light engine by hand, and was expecting that it would be easily removed by us. Well, mine, along with that of another buy, some how got stuck during deliver transit. I tried to remove, at first, several times using snap ring pliers. I tried HARD to remove it. I actually put as much strength as I could muster without getting too crazy with my new X-binned light. I still could not remove it. Part of the less than mintness is seen in the two spanner holes. There are some small indentations to the inside tops of the holes. I tried to capture a picture of this in the photo that looks down on the emitter/light engine. There's a little scratch on the heat sink, near one of the holes, too. The other part of the less than mintness was caused by me, once, trying to use the wrong snap ring plier. I, at first, tried with the right plier, but then gave up. When I decided to try once more, I first grabbed the wrong plier. I grabbed the "straight" one that actually rubbed against the base of the luxeon emitter, giving it a little scuffing. I though it might have even scratched the bottom of the dome, but I honestly cannot see any scratching at all. The scuffing is on both sides of the base of emitter, but I took a picture of only one side, the "worse" one. Really, if you don't look closely, or I hadn't mentioned this, it may not be noticed. It, to me, is minor, but as lights of this type go (custom and expensive ones), perfection is perfection, anything less is not, and will be noted. Anyway, the light engine was finally removed when I got the bright idea to leave the light on for a long time, to get it nice and hot, and then try once more with the snap ring pliers. It worked! I was removing the LE from 14500 tube to put it on the 2 X CR2 tube.
Other than those small scuffings inside the head that you see in the picture, the light is mint. The tint looks, to me, something like those "Daylight Deluxe" flourescent bulbs.
SOLD SOLD $385 - Shipped in the U.S. SOLD SOLD SOLD "PF"
I'll add, that 9 were sold here on CPF, and #10 was auction off on Ebay. The winning bid was $611. I believe #8 was also auction off, a short while later, on ebay, and fetched $645. I don't think either of those auctions included a clicky.
Now, for the photos:
What you get:
