LAST CALL: Parts orders will go out 10/14. If you want in - send paypal to wiljen.wj@gmail.com before then.

UPDATE: We have met the minimum this buy is a GO! I will continue to take orders but the minimum has been met.

True Group buy for this one. If I can get 25 orders, I will offer a heckuva price on this one.

Kit will include light body
3 modules (White, Red, and Green)
2 Batteries
Charger
Scope mount
barrel mount
Pressure switch corded tailcap



with 25 orders, I can offer the kit at $99 +shipping. That's less than half of what others are selling this kit for.

Buy will close with the other on October 7th for mailed payments and Oct 14th for Paypal payments. If we have 25 it goes. For now, post commitments and I'll check count if we go over 25 quickly I'll start collecting monies, if not I'll collect after close when we get the tally.

How bright is this light? What kind of mounts will the kit include? I've been looking at lights for an AR15 carbine.

you are after the original with the rail mount in the other buy. this one has a mount to put the light directly over the scope and another that is a barrel clamp to put the light under the barrel. The rail mount for the original is designed specifically with ARs in mind.

Please offer a comparison of this light to the original.

Thanks,

The Hunter is slightly bigger in diameter and longer than the original by a couple inches. The reason for this is a much deeper reflector designed to throw light a greater distance. Overall output is less than the original but where the original is pure flood the hunter is pure throw and is much more focused and is designed for hunting game at night (where legal). To understand the differences, you have to go into the technical. What is typically called "Throw" or the distance a light will travel more properly called etendue is a combination of reflector width and depth, and surface brightness of the die(emitter). Note, I didn't say overall output. For this reason the wider and deeper a reflector gets the more focused the beam is. In most cases a light with an exceptionally wide reflector is cumbersome so using a deep reflector is more common as is the case here. the original is about 1/2 an inch deep. The Hunter is closer to 2 inches in reflector depth. This makes for a tighter beam and a light that will light up objects more distant to the source but results in less spill or light in the immediate area around the source (sides).

Surface brightness is a combination of overall output of the light vs size of the emitter surface. In this case we want the brightest and smallest combination rather than the thing that puts out the absolute most light. XMLs or XPL emitters put out more overall light than an XRE but the XRE has a die that is 1/6 the size of those so the surface brightness is higher although the overall output is not.

By combining the small emitter with a deep reflector this light will focus a beam of white or green light an easy 200 yards and will make eyes visible as much as 400 yards away. With the red emitter it is capable of 100+ yards but the wavelength has its limits on distance as red light doesnt carry particularly well and requires a ton of power to make a true long range lamp.

The kit contains a mount to hold the light over the scope and a mount to hold it under the barrel along with a momentary pressure switch to allow for turning it on and off without changing the shooters position.

This model is the same style and body as the XL250 or W400 that are advertised by others at much higher prices and mine works just as well.

I would be in for 1.

I have one and these are great with the green emmiter. Please put me down for another. Thanks Carroll

How long is the pressure switch wire? I've only got one hand so I have to set it up different than most would.

[Hamish]

I'm in.

Just so I am clear in my thought process:

1. Does changing colors require swapping out lenses?

2. Can this unit be used without the pressure switch? (Used as a hand held light)

3. Waterproof?

4. This is a one battery unit but there will be batteries total?

Watching. Also interested in all grain's questions. I think this is just what I want for Florida hog hunting at night.

1.) Unscrew head and replace emitter (it screws in). No colored Lenses involved.
2.)yes, it comes with a standard tailcap as well as the pressure switch
3.) yes
4.) uses one at a time and comes with 2 so one in the light and one in the charger.

I'll take some pictures of an emitter swap so you have a better idea of whats involved.

[Wadestep]

I'd be in for one. This sounds like a killer deal.

[wiljen]

Ok promised comparison photos.

1st is a hunter compared to my dolled up original.



2nd is the reflectors removed from both for comparison.



3rd is head off a hunter showing the emitter to swap.

I am in. Please put me in for 1

[ZmanWakeForest]

Put me down for 1!

[Allgrainbeer]

Looks like we r one short of being a third of the way there.

[SeabeeMan]

I'm in for one.
