I have a mint solarforce L1200 I'm looking to trade. It's in good shape. 1200 lumen xenon g4 bi pin bulb run by 3 protected 18650. It's running the factory lamp assembly but bulb can be replaced with something like an 1185 or FM 1909. The non-protected cells I'm using are a bit too short and I'm using a small magnet between two cells to make up the difference. Light uses standard "c" tailcap and currently it has a solarforce forward clicky which looks a bit like an sw02. I have no idea how to show pictures here but I can send you some.
Basically this thing is too bright for me and my uses. It throws out an incredible wall of light that goes several hundred meters and I just don't need that type of power so it barely is used.
I would like to trade for something like a Surefire Aviator for possibly an M3. Honestly I don't know if that is an equal trade in monetary value but it's what I'm looking for.
This light is discontinued and is probably the most powerful factory incandescent light made that I know of. And takes three easy to find 18650s.
Anyway thank you for any interest. Especially good if from another Canadian as we can save a lot on shipping charges but is not a necessity.

Edit. I got looking at it better and there is some small parts by the head of a flashlight that's missing some anodized. It's really only noticeable on close inspection. It is listed as being HA3

I have L900 which is pretty much identical light, but led, runs on p7. it does not fit protected cells, tail cap wont close, only unprotected cells fit in that light.

That is funny mine is the exact opposite. I had to put a magnet spacer between two of the unprotected cells otherwise it wouldn't make contact. I never did try long protected cells as I don't use them

It is funny, i used to not use it a lot, was a bit scared to put 3 unprotected in series, after a while i got imr\inr cells, and they seem to be safer. so far so good.
I like the heatsink on l1200, mine l900 has no such thing.
Imo, l series from solarforce are one of the best looking lights, whether it has bulb, or a led.
