New Xeno G42! Massive throw! XP-G R5 @ 1.5A!

Brand new! Xeno G42 w/ XP-G R5!

Just got a sample in to check out today from Xeno. And I am very impressed with the quality and light output! This light can throw! It's got a very nice deep SMO reflector. It easily out throws the lumintop TD15. I don't own every light out there, but this may be the best XP-G thrower out there in production! This is my new favorite Xeno light! :thumbsup:

Hmm, those look really nice. You're the one that's selling them here? We'd place orders through you?

Yeah jason has been here for a while. So far all i've heard about the lights they sell are good things. I've always wanted one but any time i've got that much spare change, i've got some other toy i want even more.

And IIRC they are based in california.

I just noticed it's an 18650 light with a forward-clicky (momentary)
.....who wants to buy it and strip this thing into a laser?

I thought that when I saw it at 1st as well. That Heat sink would be a clunker :beer:

Yes, orders are placed through my website. I've been on these forums for a couple years. I'm mostly a flashlight guy myself, but also have a couple lasers.

Xeno lights are top notch quality. I've not seen better machining or anodizing on a flashlight before.

And LOL this would make one heck of a big laser!

Where is the LPF member Deal?

I can't go down on the price at all. It's set at the MAP price already. For California buyers, I pay your sales tax.

Is it possible to get "beam" pictures of both lights?

I'm planning on taking beam pictures later tonight. But what are you referring to when you say "both lights?" The G42 and?...

I only have a Neutral white sample in hand. My shipment of lights will be here next week.

I personally much prefer Neutral white LED's.

Just ordered one - I am looking forward to seeing how this thing performs

Thanks for your order. I'm sure you will be very impressed with the light output and quality! These lights should be shipping early next week.

I took some beamshots, but they didn't turn out very well. Maybe I will try again this evening.

Here are some beamshots that I took last night. They are ok, but I wanted to take some longer range ones, but can't think of a suitable location. The street lights around here are bright and a full moon is out. This GIF doesn't really show the throw capabilities of the light (although you can see a bright hot spot, and some reasonable side spill). This light can throw a beam a good couple hundred yards. The tree in the picture is 30 yards away.

I check your website now and then to see if the 26w is back in stock and it never is. Were there issues with it?

No. The issue was, it wasn't selling enough to make it worth it and the profit wasn't very good. Also the single order investment of almost 10 grand was a little more than I'd like to spend per order. We were kind of unlucky because shortly after the release of this light, other LED lights that could compete with it (in terms of brightness) were released -- SST90. The design of the 26W was primarily mine, but I'm considering in the future the possibility of developing a similar light -- only LED powered instead.

I still think its an awesome light, however it just seems HID's are not as popular now that high powered LED's are out.
