SOLD
I have for sale a near MINT Creemator -
There is a subtle bit of ano missing on a few sharp edges of the head itself. VERY difficult to see and only if you're REALLY looking for it in brightlight. I just wanted to have full disclosure on this. Other than this the light looks brand new. I received it from Scott years back in mid 2008 and it has mostly ridden top shelf in my gunsafe. It was never part of my EDC, mostly just a white wall hunter
From his OP that I bought from;
"303 Lumens. What's different about these from the typical CREEmator? For one thing, the drive current on these boards is set at 1.3 Amps (1300mA) instead of the more typical 867mA... driven at full power, the increased output current should lead to overall output in the vicinity of 303 Lumens. It's worth noting that an RCR123 rechargeable is probably too small a power source to push these lights to the limit, though it will still perform well... a larger rechargeable (17670 and 18650 come to mind) stands a better chance... 2x123 primaries would work nicely, too... the heads can of course be moved onto 2x123 bodies if you have that inclination. (I will substitute a SureFire 2x123 HA-BK body and tailcap at your request for no extra charge.)
The 'Bailey' firmware itself brings some amenities as well...
QuickDraw. Bailey firmware has significantly faster response time than earlier revisions, so the driver will recognize even very rapid keystrokes where prior firmware would not do so reliably... those with a fast touch, this is the firmware for you!
Failsafe. The firmware is designed with an additional layer of stability, ensuring the light will always power-up in a reasonable operating state even in the event of corrupted Flash memory, microcontroller crash, etc. This should also make the once-in-a-blue-moon "stuck in max" annoyance that would originally happen in things like the Gotham a thing of the past.
...and last but not least...
[SIZE=+1]Miser Mode.[/SIZE] Some people want the brightest-possible CREEmator. Others want something with exceptional runtime. Miser Mode gives them both: the user can switch into Miser Mode within seconds... the light retains all normal functionality but recalibrates each output level to what the human eye perceives as roughly 50% normal brightness for that level, while increasing the runtimes severalfold (typical example: max 42m becomes 3h53m)... then just as easily, the user can switch back to a regular CREEmator. (40+ taps engages, another 40+ taps disengages. No need to count, just watch the output become markedly brighter or dimmer while tapping. It's easy.)
There are any number of scenarios where Miser Mode proves useful. Activate it to take your light on a weekend camping trip or a weeklong canoe excursion, then switch back when you return... activate it during a power outage to conserve your light's energy, and switch back once power is restored. I like to engage Miser Mode when using my light inside the house at night, then switch back for outdoor activities such as a night hike. Miser Mode is there when you need it without getting in the way.
Miser Mode turns the CREEmator into two lights in one. These CREEmators are the first (along with a couple recent "Special Reserve" lights) to include this capability.
Beyond this, the lights have the usual minor touches, too, including silicone o-rings under the bezel for long service life and a good weatherproof seal... Krytox and/or a nanoparticle lubricant applied where appropriate... silicone shock-mounting for the Acorn board inside the light... teflon-jacketed multi-strand silver-on-copper wire... and the usual descriptive label, including primary specifications, usable battery configurations, and the like.
The SureFire TIR optic does an excellent job in focusing the beam from the Cree, generating a circular spot with small amount of sidespill., and the focusability of the CREEmator lets one tailor the beam to both short- and long-range targets, or defocus enough to increase sidespill. The bezel is also completely removable for using the light in pure flood mode... the head won't be weatherproof with bezel removed, of course, but will otherwise work fine."

I will include the AW 17670 cell that I've had in it, it likely has less than 5 charges on it as it's the cell that I've had in it since day one. It's REALLY a cool and versatile light that I've been reluctant to let go of, however it's time to move this one.
It will run in a E1B body or similar SF single one cell body, but at a slightly lower total output and runtime.
Also, please note;
1x RCR123 = great!
1x 17670 = great!
2x123 primaries = great!
2x RCR123 = NOT ADVISABLEoo:
For entire light + AW 17670 slightly used cell
SOLD - $250 Shipped priority insured CONUS
Outside the US at buyers additional mailing expense and buyer assumes risk once it's in the mail on my end.
First "I'll take it" in thread or PM gets it pending timestamp. Feel free to PM with any questions on light or price :wave:
Pics coming soon.
Thanks for looking,
Dan
