Just got my R5 for my SL4. Wow! This is amazing and easily worth 3 times what Jim is charging.
Quick note: Don't use Energizer batteries. The shape on the negative side doesn't work with this configuration. Duracells work great.

Likewise, I'd like to pick up one of the R5s for the SL4. Can I purchase it directly or do I have to go through Ebay? Is there still a break on shipping?

I'm not doing the P7 right now. I need to find better drives for those. I did test a SST-50 it was way nicer then the P7. But they cost me 3x as much. I would have to sell then for at least $65 and I don't know how the demand would be at that price. What do you think anyone interested. Thanks

I'd really consider it... I would really like to have an R5 in my SL4 to keep a tighter spot beam, since that is my crevice light. I would love to have a flood type light in my SL6. I dive waters that have pretty good visibility, and having a dependable and bright set up that could be used as a main light in those conditions, all in the small size of an SL6...that would be ideal for me.
My main concerns would be in regards to burn time and problems related to heat build up. If the SST-50 is stable in the SL6 without burn out issues related to heat, and would have a burn time equivalent to the R5 in the SL4, I think that would be a real winning combination, even at $65.
Do you have any more details on the SST-50? Or do you think I should just order a pair of R5's and call it a day?

Jim, did you have any heat problems with the P7 or SST-50 in the SL4?
