x990 weighted only 6 lbs

[Alan]

I just got my x990 today and I don't want to how bright it is as you guys knew it already. However, I was surprised that it is smaller and way lighter than I thought. I heard in the forum that the light weight 14 lbs. In fact, this might be the shipping weight including the toolbox, spare battery, charger and packaging materials.

Its shape with its light weight and well-balanced belt make it a LOT EASIER to carry and maneuver than regular spot light. Your hand might get lump after 10 minutes on spot light. It would be very OK carrying the light for search and rescue work for long hour.

Price of a spare battery for Maxabeam cost $305 while x990 with spare battery and complete kit cost $499.

I was told that their soon-to-be available 6000K lamp will be compatible with this light. I also heard that they're developing 8000/9000K lamp

My order for May went to Arizona but was told that one of the light isn't in stock and needs to wait for a month. I switched May/June quota

14 pounds is the total weight of the box, light, 2 batteries and recharger

Alan, how did you get your X990 in Hong Kong? I wouldn't mind getting one, but don't know who can ship one over here.

I ordered an X990 from Greg at BrightGuy, and its on its way.

I`m a big fan of the Surefire M6, but from all of the excellent posts about the X990 that I`ve been reading, it looks like the X990 is in a league all of its own.

I can hardly wait to try it out, and I`ll let you know my thoughts once I do.

I got it directly from Mcculloch Hong Kong in quantity through my work in a very special price. We are not supposed to ship it beyond Hong Kong or China. If you or any friends of yours happen to be in Hong Kong, I could get you one

Thanks Alan. Hmm, maybe its time I headed back down to HK for a holiday - haven't been for a while.

Make sure to carry along an empty luggage case for batteries - $1.28 for Panasonic 123A; $6.40 for 4 packs of Sanyo rechargeables NiMH AA 1700ma or AAA 700ma. Want to see full range of Sure Fire products, you name it. When you got to Ap Chiu Street, you will feel like a kid at Disney
