A heads up when ordering from E2 Field Gear, their free shipping is Fedex Smartpost and very S L O W. It starts at an Amazon distribution center - takes 2 days to move, then to Fedex - sits for a day or so, then to USPS for "the last mile" - couple more days. All this starts 40 miles from me and will take a week hopefully. I learned a good lesson here.

update: I did get it one day sooner than expected, the usps leg of the trip just took one day after they got it.

Yeah Amazon uses that a lot. Experienced it a lot before I signed up for Prime. Things would get shipped out of their warehouse in KY, then go thru Ohio then sit in MI before it got to me in IN. Basically 3-5 days when it would have taken UPS ground 1 day.

I didn't find this true AT ALL. I ordered directly from E2 and got mine 2 days after my shipping notification. Just so everyone knows, he just got his first shipment over the weekend and shipped all preorders on Monday. I got mine in NH on Wednesday.......THATS PRETTY DARN ACCEPTABLE in my books.:)

It might depend on what was ordered. They (e2) told me my item was stocked at Amazon and they ship it. And I used their free shipping option.

USPS must really be backed up or something. Even with Thanksgiving day off. I got a shipping notification from Illumination Supply on 11/26. The status now on 12/2 only says "12/1 - Electronic Shipping Info Received". That's 4 working days for USPS and it's not necessarily even shipped yet! With 3-day Priority mail. Fail.

Very anxious to get this!!

I think Electronic Shipping Info Received means a shipping label has been created by IS - doesn't mean the usps has it yet .

Exactly, that's why I think they must really be backed up since it would usually be here by now, or at least half way. I don't think IS would create a label and hang on to it for 3 days.

I don't think you understood RIX TUX completely. USPS does not have the package in their possession, it's sitting at IS waiting for someone to hand it over to USPS ;)

No I understood. I'm sorry for the confusion. What I was saying was I doubt IS had it sitting for 4 days. Why send a "SHIPPING notification" if it's not in USPS hands until December 2 (estimated)? Usually when I order online, they send the notification, but then it's to USPS by the next day, or even the same day...not 4-5 days later. Besides, this was 3-Day priority!

I mean, it's Dec 3 now and it still says the same status. So technically USPS may still not have it. I understand there is some delay too for the system to update. I just found this strange even with the holiday.

Has anyone actually received one of these (SC600w mkII L2) lights yet? If so where did you order it from? I can't find any websites that say they have them in stock.

At least you have some changes...

I made a pre-order from IS on the 14th of October for a SC600w MkII L2 and no news since.

IS said mine shipped 11/26 and got the tracking number to me. Shipped 3-Day Priority mail. Still nowhere to be found. Status still says Dec 1 "Electronic Shipping Info Received". Lost package I assume.

What's the real operational differences between the SC600W and the H600W (besides the right angle)? It looks like the SC600W is a bit bigger than the H600W. Does it have better heat dissipation and run on highest setting longer, or is the performance the same? Is the beam profile identical? Does the clip stay in place or rotate around the body of the light?
