Awesome choice! I'm sure you will but please post your thoughts after getting it. I have the XM-L in my aqua ram but I'm especially interested in hearing about the XP-G2 beam in the ram.

This isn't even funny - it's diabolical - I'm literally planning out 2 McGizmo's right now. I don't know what I want anymore - just the best combo. Thinking 1x123 Haiku to start, but I already know it's not going to cut it for me. I mean, maybe I want 2x123. Maybe I want Terra Ram. I don't know anymore. Don emailed me, but now I think I need to discuss further with him and go on his recommendations. One thing I know I have NO interest in are the mules. That's just not my style. :devil:

(ps, have fun with Tom Bihn. I have 4 bags from them, plus untold number of accessories. :laughing:)

Edit: So the damage has been done! I officially ordered a Terra Ram with XP-G2. I think this will provide me with the options and "modability" I want, while providing a new form factor to my line. And gives me the option to switch to a twisty later on down the line if I so choose. Thanks for the help all! :bow:

Congratulations on your purchase, prepare to be impressed by it. I ordered a Haiku XPG2 w/ AA pak to run on a AW 14500 li ion. I have a mule w/123 pak so I can alternate when needed.

I totally will. OP will deliver, and I have the shipping notice now. Wonder the timeframe is from Hawaii to VA, :laughing:

I'll just need to see one I suppose!

Apologies if this has already been covered, but is the XP-G2 available in 6v variation?
Thanks,

Ian:)

OK, I'll be more specific, could you do a 6v XP-G2 Mule? (like the 6v XML Mule) (better for my bank balance if you can't :devil: )

Thanks,

Ian :)

My packaged arrived today, Christmas in July! Although this is not my first Haiku or first of your products it was my first purchase directly from you. I've read so many great testimonials here I just have one thing to add that I've failed to read. Don, I love you man!

Hi guys,
I have now run out of the XP-G2's I have been building with and I don't know if I can get more of similar or comparable bin and specs yet. I thought I had some more on hand to mount on MCPCB's but I was wrong. :green:

Oh no! Hopefully you can find something comparable, love the tint of it in my Haiku. Was planning for a aqua mule with the XPG2 in it.

Any luck sourcing more of these ? Definitely my favorite led to date.

I am under the impression that my aim to get more XP-G2's of good CCT and CRI is in the works but no confirmation they have been shipped yet.

Awesome news! Don, might there be a way to place advance orders on the LE, I don't want to miss out on this batch.
