Another happy customer from the first run here. These are great lights, don't miss the boat.

Any idea if you will be getting either of the SS 18650 lights, preferably the smaller one (G95?)? Thanks!

Thanks!

The factory is slightly re-engineering the design of the G95 and also upgrading it to use the XP-G R5. Probably won't be done for another month or so, but I'll definitely put up a pre-order as soon as more info is available.

TSWrench · #15 03-10-2010, 01:05 AM

Does this light really produce 270 Lumens OTF on a Li-on? I can't wait!

TSWrench · #16 03-13-2010, 12:39 PM

"Estimated Ship date: 3/12/2010"

So, are these lights in stock yet? If so, when will they ship? As a courtesy to the people who have already paid, please keep us up to date.

Thank you.

tactical_hid · #17 03-16-2010, 07:11 PM

I apologize for the delay. UPS screwed up big time.

No joke they delivered to the wrong address... 500 miles away!

I'll do my best to get all US based orders shipped this evening.

Overseas orders will go out tomorrow (post office is closed, and those have to be processed at the P.O.)

Thank you for your patience and your business!

tactical_hid · #18 03-17-2010, 10:00 PM

All orders shipped! Have several left in stock and ready for immediate shipment!

tactical_hid · #19 03-19-2010, 11:47 AM

Bump... only 5 units left!

tactical_hid · #20 03-21-2010, 07:25 PM

To the top!

cloggy · #21 03-22-2010, 10:51 AM

Light arrived today, for some unknown reason I wasn't expecting anything quite as good as this!
The light is very well made, flawless machining and quality components.
The threading is particularily impressive and smooth.
I fitted one of AW's 14500 batteries and was rewarded with an awesome light output, I have no reason to doubt the figures quoted.
The accessories are also generous and well made particularily the leather holster.
My only complaint is the amount of writing on the outside of the light XENO on one side and CUBE on the other in large letters, but to be fair they appear to be etched and only really show out when the light is held obliquely to a light source.
I am very pleased with this light, another quality addition to the ever growing collection (sigh)

tactical_hid · #22 03-22-2010, 06:10 PM

Cloggy, glad you got the light and your happy with it! It really is a great work of art!

jblackwood · #23 03-22-2010, 08:41 PM

This light really stands out in my collection. It's pretty heavy, as has been mentioned before, but one thing that stands out on this one is that it's beam profile is very, very floody. Personally, I love pocket lights that are floody. There are enough lights that have a concentrated spot, even amongst the newer XP-G lights. This one, even compared to other XP-G lights I I own, is very floody indeed. More floody than all my Quarks, both mini as well as regular and tactical, and more floody than my Dereelight Javelin with the OP reflector. Since it's so floody, it just doesn't throw that well, but what could you expect?

This light heralds my arrival into the 14500 realm as well. Since the cell is larger than my eneloops, it does make the light a tiny bit wobbly with the larger 14500 cell in it, but consider the trade-off, especially since many here don't value the tail standing feature as I do. Yes, it is much brighter on a 14500 so cool! Also, I don't think it's been mentioned, this IS a two level light with a reverse clicky switch (I know two levels was mentioned but I still thought it might be forward, oh well). The switch activation point is a little deep, even for me. It seems to be deeper than the Dereelight switches, which some find a bit too deep. I should rephrase, for the size of the actual button, the switch feels a bit deep to activate.

That's all for me, cheers folks!!!

EDIT: How could I fail to mention the tint?!?! On both Eneloop and 14500, the tint is superbly white, not hint of green AT ALL!!! It's my first XP-G light that's so nice. If only instead of a cube, it was in a triangle shape, like those bulky and awkward, IMO, Icon Modus and Rogue lights. The design was sound, in making those lights triangular to hold, they were just too bulky. This light is the opposite. It's a bit too heavy and square, which makes it harder to hold comfortably for prolonged periods of time. What would such a light be called, though . . . hmmmmm, the trapezoid, no that has two bases. Pyramid? Oh well.
