Show your Solarforce

[Kevin1322]

Last August old4570 showed us his 9 L2s. Laughing, I asked him why in the world he would have 9 of them (post #607). Well, my turn to be laughed at, haha. Here are my 9 L2s (actually I have 11 but two of them are being coated by modamag:twothumbs).

This is the one that stays on my nightstand. Solarforce L2P body, A001 head, and L2-S4 clickie switch, running a Nailbender dual XP-G R4 3 level pushing 500 lumens of pure flood with an 18650.

[/img]

This is my "home defender" haha. L2m with 18650 ext, A001 bezel, and L2-LR2 rings running an XP-E R2 with 2xAAs.

[/img]

Also, I have the Solarforce FH-4 Holster which works great with the Masterpiece Pro-1 head and L2 (with or without ext).

Others shown are:

L2 grey modded with aspheric lens and XR-E R2
L2 grey with 18650 ext and L2-PC2 SS clip running 2x18650s and Nailbender's XP-G R4 3 mode pushing 315 lumens.
L2m grey (shown w/o ext) with Nailbender's 3 level P7 pushing 700 lumens on a single RCR123!
L2m grey body and black head and switch (shown with LT-1 lantern head) with an XP-E R2.
L2-R grey and
L2-i grey.

RIGHT: Triple XP-E rated at 560 lumens :naughty:

Some beam shots:
3 x XP-G

3 x XP-E

Just one here: Solarforce L2m SS SE. Weighs a TON though (11.03oz or 312.7g w/Tenergy 18650 bty), not to mention SS is very poor conductor of heat but I absolutely love the style of this light:

(currently installed w/Nailbender's XPG-R4 drop-in)

Special thanks to Jason @ SBFlashlights for getting this "silly" number for me:

turboBB - That is indeed a beautiful light. Beautiful clear pics too.

supasizefries - I'm so jealous!

Nice :thumbsup:

What are you using to power those? IMR cells or regular Li-Ion?

 

[supasizefries]

I'm currently using AW IMR's. :tinfoil:

I'm glad I waited for the Triple XPG, I had a reservation when the last Triple XPE was being made but asked to be switched to the XPG wait list. I don't have the XPE to compare mine with but my XPG is really bright.

 

[supasizefries]

Just bored and took some beamshots with my masterpiece head. We're getting hammered with snow here in the tri-state area.

turboBB....that is one nice light! Great pictures! :thumbsup: Should have mine tomm!! :popcorn:

 

[TheMediocrePirate]

just put in my order for a L2R...

Just wondering i saw some pics of the L2s with o-rings in the three groovs in the head; what size are they? Also is swapping out the black tail cap for a GITD one tough to do?

 

[don.gwapo]

I ordered mine L2M stainless steel with R2 drop in and lantern head. Can't wait to play this baby.

[...]Also is swapping out the black tail cap for a GITD one tough to do?

If it uses the 'standard' 14mm boot (the L2m doesn't, not sure about the L2p) - just use a pair of needle-nose pliers (or even a slim cross-head screwdriver and 'stir' it) and unscrew the retaining ring, remove the switch and existing boot, trim the post on the inside of the boot to the same length as the stock one, reinsert and reassemble.

Replacement 14mm boots are available from DX or lighthound.

 

[Black Rose]

The L2P uses a 16mm tailcap boot.

I got mine from Shiningbeam.

Solarforce Masterpeice Pro-1 Turbo Head with FM's 2x26500 host.

Can you divulge the runtime for that!? :crackup:

 

[herbicide]

14 x CR123a (1500mAh nom.) giving ~42V would be 21,000mAh
14 x 16340 (750mAh nom.) giving ~50V would be 10,500mAh
7x 18650 (2600mAh nom.) with ~26V would be 18,200mAh

Working out how to run anything off the above is left as an exercise for the reader.

.

nice collection :twothumbs.....versus the LR2 straight away, what's the advantage here, more tailcap options? did you have to do anything else to make the 2aa work? & did those rings come with your body?
