(Open) MT-G2 Regulated 2x18350 Lights! (Preorder)
T10 host, 5000k on copper pcb: (NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING ORDERS)
Options
3000k 90 CRI, aluminum pcb ($ varies with shipping costs from Cutter)
4000k Standard CRI, aluminum pcb ($varies with shipping costs from Cutter)
3amp h-m-l:
2.8amp h-l-strobe:
3.5amp* h-m-l :
5amp* l-m-h-Direct Drive:
*Copper pcb ONLY! Direct Drive is how the driver is advertised, though technically it is not direct drive; the voltage is controlled by the driver, and the one I've tested was unable to go above 4.5 amps. These are use at your own risk drivers; I do not recommend going above Cree's 3 amp maximum.
UPDATE 8-21-13: I AM OPEN FOR M2 ORDERS, AND AM STILL WORKING ON THE ISSUE WITH THE T10B.
I am very grateful to member Ledmitter nli, who has taken some very nice photos of the M2 host; they can been seen on pages 9 and 10 of this thread.
Now, onwards...
I'd like to offer for preorder three versions of lights built around Cree's MT-G2 emitter. All three lights are very floody due to the size of the MT-G2. The Convoy M2 has nearly zero hotspot, and the T10(B) hosts have a very large hotspot.

UPDATED (8-21-13) Pricing:
M2 host: $180
This includes a 5000k MT-G2 mounted to a copper PCB, forward or reverse click switch, and your choice of driver:
All drivers have mode memory
3 amp h-m-l (100%, 35%, 5%)
Shipping $10 USPS with DC and insurance. (Con US only – I have no experience shipping overseas. If you live overseas and want a light, please PM me; I'll have to figure out what steps I need to take.)
The next build option is the grey HA-III T10 host. It runs from two (IMR Only!!) 18350 cells. It is 155mm long with a head diameter of 39mm. This host comes standard with a reverse click switch, but can modded to a forward click switch if desired.

The Convoy M2 host is the second build option. It runs from two (IMR only!) 18350 cells – I prefer AW brand. This host is HA-III. I open up the reflector by hand for a perfect fit around the MT-G2 emitter. This also comes with flat and crenellated stainless steel bezels. The light has a reverse clicky switch, but can be modded to a forward clicky. This light is the same size as a standard P60 host, but with the added benefit of being designed around an led, so the heat dissipation is much better.

M2 reflector and driver view.
Because of the way the M2 is designed, there is no room for a positive spring on the driver; therefore the only spring is in the tailswitch. The M2 comes with a glow in the dark switch boot and lens o-ring.

2.8 amp h-l-strobe (100%, 35%, Strobe)
5 amp* l-m-h-Direct Drive (.1A, .5A, 2.25A, DD-steps down after 120 seconds)
Direct Drive is how the driver is advertised, though technically it is not direct drive; the voltage is controlled by the driver, and the one I've tested was unable to go above 4.5 amps. This is a use at your own risk driver; I do not recommend going above Cree's 3 amp maximum.

I also offer the same build options with the T10B host; it is a black version of the pictured T10, but with an 18650 extension so the light can be operated from 2x IMR 18350 or 2x 18650. Both hosts come with a glow in the dark switch boot.

The below beam shots are of the M2; I'll have to wait for darkness to get some of the T10. I discovered after posting these shots that my camera was automatically adjusting the exposure; the beams are brighter than they appear in these pictures.
M2 head, 3000k 90CRI Low. Approximately 15 feet from garage door.
M2 head, 3000k 90CRI Medium. Approximately 15 feet from garage door.
M2 head, 300k 90CRI. High. Approximately 15 feet from garage door.
I thought an xm-l in a P60 was floody…but this MT-G2 redefines the term! It is almost as floody as a P60 with diffusion film; the difference being that the light from the MT-G2 is thrown farther due to the sheer power. Speaking of power, these hosts get warm at 30 seconds and HOT after about 3 minutes on high. I cannot recommend using high mode for longer than that; please do so at your own risk!

I will do this as a Preorder; I'm thinking for a total of 5 lights. Please express interest in this thread; once the list has filled I will accept payment.
Because this is a preorder, there will be approximately a 5 week wait time between ordering parts and shipping out lights. Three weeks for the parts to get to me, and two weeks to get the lights all put together and shipped. I will update this thread as I receive the ordered parts.
Please post any questions you have and I will get back to you with answers as soon as I can. And thank you for bearing with me in my first sales thread!
