Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

[wacbzz]

The most whacked thing about this is that extra money is being paid to the USPS to get the packages to us quicker than say, first class mail. Nobody is getting that money back because I’m sure they (the USPS) now have some sort of small print “estimated delivery time” statement that allows them to perform like they do.

If if we pay extra for “two day delivery,” how many days past that time period is really acceptable?

BTW, my light delivery was updated today, 2/10, as having left the distribution center. Perhaps delivery tomorrow? Is 12 days an acceptable time period for actual delivery of a paid for, two day package??

[nbp]

Some of my packages have taken a little longer, but many have been on time or nearly. I have had three lights delivered in the past week or so from different parts of the country and they ranged from 2-4 business days each, which I feel is pretty fair. Considering package volume is up like 40% over pre-pandemic days and thousands of USPS employees are out on any given day for COVID19 restrictions, I’m not sure what else they can do aside from their best efforts. I think it depends a lot on which facilities your particular mail goes through. Other courier services simply stopped accepting packages for a time so they could ensure delivery dates, so guess where all those packages went... USPS, who couldn’t deny them. In any case, I believe there is a Carrier Rants thread in Cheers and Jeers if I’m not mistaken, which would be a good place for further discussion of shipping speeds.

A Peli 2320 and two Peli 7100 holsters intended for other lights. Hope They’ll fit. If anyone here has a 7100 Peli holster, please tell me what is the largest diameter you can fit in there.

Streamlight protac 1L-1aa in coyote. It has the ability to be able to use a single cr123, aa, and apparently even aaa without any kind of spare parts or extensions. I thought that was pretty cool so I’ll give that a try. While I was at it I threw a streamlight microstream aaa in the order just for fun. I also bought more cr123 cells and a surefire battery case.

My First Surfire 6P

You'll never be the same. When it arrives your life will be split in two. Life before 6P, life after 6P.


Tracking says my aaa minimag bulbs arrive today. Yay!
Edit: arrived during an ice storm. Two thumbs up to the postal guy.
End edit.

I bought a malkoff M61L for my incoming 6p. 230 lumens, 5600k and 5+ hours listed runtime. It should do very nicely.

[The Hawk]

A couple days ago I ordered a Maglite ML300L LED 4D cell. Specs are 1002 lumen on high with a 5 hour run time. Also has eco mode with an 18 day run time. Just got an e mail from Maglite that it was shipped yesterday.

[WebHobbit]

I have two different Battery Junction orders floating around in the mail:

shipment one:

StreamLight TLR-7 A weapon light & 12 Panasonic CR123As

shipment two:

Acebeam L35

[parang]

Some small ones:
Lumintop Tool AAA,
Sofirn SC01.

[parang]

I sent back the Lumintop, it came without the magnet and a Manker E02 II. I didn't like their CW tints.

In exchange I asked for a Convoy S12 LH351D in 3500K and a Samsung 40T to go with it.

Should be here next week.

The Sofirn is awesome though.

Much gratitude to Bob for being willing to share it with me.

Well I got my surefire 6p and I love the incandescent tint so much that I just ordered a malkoff m61wll. Warm tint close to the incan, 80 lumens and 10+ hr runtime.

Now I’m not sure what I will do with the m61L that I already ordered, maybe buy another host light.

[Olumin]

Just managed to snatch a basically brand new Jetbeam RRT 21 for 30 bucks. Always wanted one of those, since Im a fan of magnetic ring interfaces. Im a lucky man today.

Nice, congrats! That is an amazing price too.

I have this same light and I have to say I'm also a fan of the magnetic infinitely variable ring. It's also one of my only lights that takes almost any of my 18650 batteries and works! I have other lights that are very picky and will only work with specific size or button- / flat-top but the RTT-21 will take almost any 18650.

I just wish that it had a better, NW high CRI emitter vs the CW stock emitter.

[caelyx]

Now on the way:

- M61 219B v3
- M31LL 219B v3
- MD2 + high/low ring for the M61
- VME head for the M31LL
- MDC 1AA in neutral

Oh dear, that escalated a bit quickly.

Ordered some orbtronic 16650’s, soshine 10440’s, an xtar vc2s charger, and another aaa streamlight microstream. I’m going to play around with the 10440’s in my microstream’s.

I recently had the same think happen to me with a Pelican M6. Ended up getting a Malkoff NLL for it. Getting an Incan for the first time in many years, I was impressed with the tint and the beam.

Maybe pick up a G3 for the M61L and get a long-running M61L set up?

Currently waiting on a Kroll switch and sleeve for the Peli.

I got the m61wll in yesterday and absolutely love it. Very similar to the incan beam, less hotspot but way more spill. Very nice beam that’s easy on the eyes and plenty bright for most everything and has that great runtime. I’ve never had a light I was so thrilled about as that 6p with the m61wll. I used to think I hated a warm tint, but I was wrong.

I’m sure I’ll end up with something else to pop the m61l in. I plan to get a sf c2 centurion that at some point, so it’ll work in that.

My first HDS rotary!

Congrats! I bet it won't be your last. ...

The two PITA' been looking out the window, cause they have a bunch of stuff coming in from Chewy. Dang kids, no wonder I'm always ...

I just got my second Prometheus back up split keychain thing-a-ma-jig. Best split ring in the market, IMO.

I'm waiting on an Armytek Prime Pro and a bunch of coloured filters to make it across the US/Canada border.

[Jean-Luc Descarte]

Waiting on a Convoy C8+ with CSLNM01.TRG. Now that I found out my M2 SST20 handily out-throws my old C8 XM-L2 (which wasn't even intended at purchase), I want moar candelas!

[Olumin]

Ordered a new charger, a Vapcell S4+. I’ve been looking for a new, faster charger for over a year now. Most cant handle protected 21700s. This one looks good. That and I doubt I would even be able to figure out how use some of the more complex chargers on the marked.
Also, some 16650 and 18650 batteries along with some AA eneloops.
