A triple is an all time classic mod.
For this specific light it’s one of those times that the spacer will cost you more than the host itself :slight_smile:

If anyone needs x6 heatsinks I have a few stored away in aluminum and copper

X6 heatsinks in Ohio?? You know Nitro?

Missed out on this one, too. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d ditch the cold white and go for something in a 4 or 5. 5A or 5D would be nice. 4C that I can pull from an old S2+.

Probably also ditch the driver, too, if it’d bug me (blinkies, etc.).

Hey mate :smiley:
You have missed my deal once again? It’s probably due to the time difference between US and EU.

What flashlight would you be looking to buy in the future?
If it’s in stock, I am pretty sure that GB will give me a big discount on it.

Everybody seemed to post the new batch of codes just short of 08:00 this morning. Not even the birds are up at that time! :smiley:

That’s just it… I don’t “need” any more flashlights, as I’m already almost hip-deep in them, but if I see one at a good price (10buk Zanflare F1, 13buk EE X6, 7buk S2+, etc.), I’ll snatch up another one.

This way, I’d always have spares, and/or be able to gift them to worthy recipients. :smiley:

Eg, the 7buk S2+es a while back were a 1B tint, rather cold, and on the green side of the BBL. But who cares, as I’d be gutting it to put in a nicer emitter and different driver, and probably a TIR lens, too. For 7bux? I’d be crazy not to, as that’s even cheaper than a bare host!

’Though if you can find those toothbrush-shaped USB LED lights (Xiowmi) for 99¢, and not limited to 1 per customer, definitely let me know! :smiley: I got a bunch last time, and they’re quite popular around the office. :smiley:

Alas, that’s one of the problems with flash sales, coupons, etc., that if you have to get them only 1 at a time, it often doesn’t even pay to go through the aggravation.

Someone made a comment, I think in this thread, about the 99¢ LK 101Bs, that you could get multiples. I almost cried, ’cause I didn’t even try to get more than one. I did snag one, but that was it. And yeah, more ag with the shipping costs, etc., jacking up the final price almost to the “it ain’t worth it” level. :expressionless:

But yeah, if you can snag any good deals like those I mentioned, absolutely I’d be interested. Thanks! :smiley:

I totally mangled the spelling of X-mi, didn’t I? :stuck_out_tongue:

At first I thought that you were referring to an actual knockoff brand of Xiaomi :smiley:

I tried a few variations, nothing looked right.

No idea how to pronounce it, either. “ksyow-mee”? (I know it ain’t a chi. :smiley: )

Apparently it’s pronounced “show me”,for real.

I’ll take your word for it, but I’m still confused how people spell an “sh” sound as an ‘x’. :expressionless:

I’m still wondering about “Peking” suddenly becoming “Beijing” a bunch of years ago. Does that mean now I have to order “Beijing duck” instead?

(Don’t even get me started on Gaelic… I started to wonder if someone had to rot13 the words to figure out how to pronounce them.)

Uhh, wait. Is that show-rhymes-with-know, or show-rhymes-with-cow?

I am pronouncing it KSIAO MI, but lot of people telling me that it’s SHIAO MI :smiley:

Btw I am also interested in 0,99 deal for that USB light, none of the deals worked for RS country code…

I gotta confess, other than “ni hao” and “shrimp with broccoli”, I don’t speak any Chinese.

I’m still waiting for one order of those from 09-26 (eep!), and another from 10-30 or so (no worries… yet).

I still got 3 orders from September that I’m waiting for. 4 from “September” if you count one from 10-03, September-ish.

Longest time I waited for any orders, from anyone, ever.

If you used unregistered shipping that can be a bummer, I am using it all the time but I am very lucky with NLpontra shipping and tracking actually works to the point it reach my country.
They are like Swiss clocks last 7 orders came in exactly 19 days

For cheap stuff, yeah. Kinda ridiculous to order something for a coupla bux and double the cost for registered shipping.

Odd how when I put one doodad into the cart and shipping came out to something like 2bux. Add another for two doodads, and shipping dropped to half, even though it’d be twice the shipping weight, no? And sometimes the shipping cost changes whether it’s a sale price or regular price. Same item in both cases. I don’t understand it at all.

So when I see an abnormally high shipping cost for something, and it has to be its own separate order (no combining of offers or anything), I’m pretty much forced to go for the cheapest shipping, else it’s just not worth it.

Honestly, though, with all the aggravation sometimes, flash sales and coupon codes that expire in minutes, seemingly random shipping costs, no combining of offers, etc., unless it’s something I’d really want, I’m just going to pass on them completely.

Guys,

I feel compelled to correct some of the wrong pronunciations here. I can assure you Xiaomi is NOT meant to be pronounced as “Show me” or “Shiow me” or anything in such variances. The first time a colleague told me he bought a Xiaomi product, he said it in such a way that it sounded like “show me” or “shiow me”, and I was completely clueless to what he was on about. I had to laugh when it finally dawn on me that he meant Xiao Mi.

Xiaomi is literally two words in Chinese. Xiao-Mi (小米) meaning small rice.

The easiest way to show you the correct pronunciation is using Google Translate. I have typed the words in. If you click the link below, you can just click on the speaker icon/symbol, and you will hear the correct pronunciation.

Quick comment…

A while back, there was a commercial for a Shen Yun dance-thingy (live performances, I imagine?), and the guy at the end pronounced it something like “shen yün”, with a weird pursed-lips “yuuuuen” at the end, sort of like the ‘ü’ in Müller.

Ha, found it… I think.

Eh, what can I say. I still wish French people a “joyooks noel”…

Lumintop Prince Brass Upd. Gold @$24.99 seems like a good offer, I bought it. Thanks. :+1:

Can you get a coupon for UT01 @ $9.99? (for GR of course)
I’ve got one since the days of Giorgos review, I’m very satisfied and I’d like to buy a couple more at that price.
