I bought this chunk of aluminium profile today (the flashlight is for size reference), 6x6x6cm, 4mm thickness.
I showed it to my girlfriend and she said it was the most boring thing she had ever seen. Is it just me who sees endless wonderful opportunities with it? :heart_eyes:
I buy that stuff to build robots. Cheaper than carbon fibre tube…
Finally got an Astrolux SC, never could get my hands on the X5… Next best thing, now on to building a quad! 219C 4000k with LD3 driver set on 8 amps.
Nice Matt !
I have one aluminum X5 and one copper SC . Both are quads , aluminum is xp-g3 s4 3a & bistro firm fet driver and the copper one has 219C 4000K leds and bistro driver again . I just think they’re 2 of my top lights … :heart_eyes:
I got a little package in the mail today from Mountain Electronics. And I do mean little. At first I didn’t think both parts were in there. My compliments to Richard and company for packing their stuff so well!
I have enough 219C’s but I am a little afraid of melting it’s face off! My 219C triple drew over 18 amps before I de-tuned it.
Extruded aluminium with nice thickness of 4 mm… Hellooooo good looking 
Received my first order from Banggood in 7 days from purchase date.
Lumintop TD16 XP-L Hi (w/3400mah batt) kit.
Mateminco E01 
a very sweet copper light
BLF X5 xpl-hi 5000k 3B vs E01 xpl HD 4000k 5A
Light looks good, perfect fit for my camping
That copper light looks pretty cool charles. :heart_eyes:
Inspired by this thread, I ordered two Lee filter books from a dutch seller. I got them today.
I love it that every filter sample comes with a transmission spectrum!
The Mateminco copper light still looks great, Despite the failed attempt by Neal, I hope that a group buy or coupon will come by again at some point.
I was in my local Microcenter, and found these in a bin near the check outs for $1.99, so I picked another one up:
I love these things. They are really great when working on projects, as the screws, etc. don’t all go wandering off (because this is magnetized)!
Where did you buy one of those?
I was hoping the group buy would start up again but it looks like it is dead 
Thanks! The Mateminco E01 smaller head size & lighter weight make it feel better holding in the hand than BLF X5 copper.
I ask a friend purchased E01 for me from taobao.com.
About Neal GB failed, The only reason I can think of is the Banggood plain to sell Astrolux version in the near future!
Where did you get that black x5??? It would look real nice next to my E14. Last night I ordered a BLF A6, DQG Tiny 26650 7x XPG2 and a Lumintop SD26. The silver on the x5 and x6 are the only things holding me back from buying. Can you get an X6 in black too?
Today I got 2 stripe elliptical spot TIR lend for S2+ and a 60 degree TIR for S2+ just to try it.
I think that’s the reason , not the first time you give us pre-sales info
