With no Box, no lanyards.

[email protected] said:Hi - just thought I'd post a reply to your comment re ship times.
Sorry your light is taking so long to make it to you but as of your post (July 17th) it had only been in the mail for 1 week (6 business days) - You ordered Friday July 7th at 6:49 PM so we missed Fridays mail obviously - your light shipped the following Monday (July 10th).
Expected delivery time for expedited parcel to the US is 6-12 business days. I can't do much to speed up the mail unfortunately ;-) The only faster option I have available for a reasonable cost is express post which is available as an option at checkout for customers who want to get their order ASAP.
Most of my US customers have been receiving their orders in 6-9 business days so it seems to me that expedited post is a reasonable compromise of speed and cost.
If anyone has any ideas for a better shipping method to the US fire me off a PM or email and I'll look into it.
Anyway here's hoping your light makes it to you soon
Best Regards,

I measured current draw on both single Li-Ions (a 14500 and a 16340 R123A), 2x primary 123As, and 2x R123As and they were the same as what I recall measuring on my first FT01 which works like a charm (and that my bro-in-law has been enjoying). My new LED module, which included the reflector, has better focus than my first one tho (a nice plus) and a whiter tint. My first FT01 was pretty white already, but had a very slight purple edge at the hotspots outter perimeter. This new one tho is really white! I love this light...it feels so good in the hand (my hand fits perfectly between the head and the raised portion just before the tailcap with my index and pinky fingers just reaching over each end portion for grip), clicky is responsive and easy and audible, and machining is great. I also purchased the light for it's versatility in battery types and configurations, along with the output, and what I think is the most attractive 2cell light available (I think it looks better than my SF Z2).
