Thanks, guys...

I'll attack LX2 first as soon as I find some time, I'm still a lot behind list that formed while I was on the trip away from home...

LX2...

LOP reflector with 1.5Amp or 3Amp single mode driver and XPL HI (219B or 219C or XPG2 or XPL HD also possible) for "Ultra" and "UltraS" setups (approx 400 and 800 OTF lumens)... body bored to utilize 17mm li-ion cells and tailcap modded or proper low... or installing TripLED in the head which would operate at 3Amps and, again, modded 2-speed twisty... or installing multimode driver (LuciDrvFT) in the head and then modding tailcap with McClicky... same for if using reflector and single LED, driver can be multimode and tailcap with McClicky - stock LX2 look and wide range of possibilities inside (clicky or tactical twisty)...

Multimode modded LX2 heads could also be used with any e-series body/tailcap later on, for fun...

Sounds like a great option for an LX2, if you can get the low to about 20lm or less that would be sweet.

Why is everybody thinking only about A2 ??? Haha...

LX2 guys... LX2 Ultra !!! LX2 TripLED !!! Both with 2-speed tactical twisty (modded for desired low) or McClicky to control multimodes...

C'mon... Am I the only one here that loves LX2 size and shape ??? :)

Can't wait to see what you came up with for them, Tana.

20 lumen low and 800 lumen high using the factory twisty in the same lx2 form sounds like a winner to me. Or even 400 lumens and 20 lumen low..I'm thinking 1.5 amp xml hi so primaries and runtime can still be utilized. Where am I sending my lx2 taric? Hehe
