LOL...Congratulations on the lights. The anticipation and waiting is definitely the hard part. I don't think patience come natural to us flashaholics. It must be a learned quality.

That's for sure. I can't wait to the the Tiablo so I can burn holes in my back fence! I think all my actual needs could be filled my the Novatac 85P I have, but where's the fun in that? :)

Keep us updated ok? I want to hear how this turns out for you.
Better yet, if you get the chance, can you post a pic of your new Tiablo in action?

Nah, just spent some time scraping up the cash for them. I'm a freak you know - my wife figures a Maglight is top notch stuff, although she did appropriate my 3D Blaster. I've been wanting a thrower to beat my Ultrastinger, and maybe the Tiablo will do that.

Just got my T20. I'll be comparing it to my DX (6P) and BOG Premium Plus (9P) drop-in and my L2D RB100.

I am fairly new to this addiction, but I have it pretty bad. I now have a tackle box dedicated to parts, etc.

I think I need a new P3D RB100, as well.

See what I mean?!?

My light must have come on Saturday (since today is Columbus Day), I guess I didn't see it when I got home from camping last night. Dang! I could have tried it out last night.

Yeah, I was excited also, but when it arrived I realized that I ordered the orange peel but I really wanted the smooth.

stupid me, I ordered the smooth reflector yesterday, and am still waiting to really test fire this little thrower.

It's worse if you have one, but know you can do better, I'm still waiting and I have one in my hand.:thumbsdow

I just did a little comparison with my new T20 Q5 and my weapon-mounted 9P w/ BOG Premium Plus drop-in. The T20 has a smaller, tighter and brighter spot than the 9v powered BOG. But the spill is a bit brighter on the BOG emitter. Total beam spread is about equal.

So, while the T20 is brighter with a tad more throw, the 9P w/ BOG PP is still better for it's use (as a weapons light).
