Most extruded heatsinks for CPUs, etc., are Al. It’s perfectly fine, within reason.
If you wanna push 50W through the little beastie, yeah, you’d need a Cu DTP star, and a big beefy shelf vs any kind of pill. A decent 10W or so? Why not?
Use some AS5 as “thread-lube” on the pill, makes it even better.
Wish mine would show up. 10 days today and no lights. Emailed them but have gotten no response yet. Strange. Guess I’ll let them catch up from the weekend for a few days. I have heard great things about them and surely don’t want to have to get paypal or anyone else involved. I’m sure it will work itself out one way or another.
No, none at all. Still no reply to my email as well. I will send another in the morning if I don’t receive a response by then. Hopefully just a mix up somewhere. Nobody’s perfect I reckon.
I emailed sale@thorfiredirect.com last night to check on my order and received and email this morning with my tracking number, it is being sent via slow FedEx, went out yesterday 3/12 and tracking says delivery Sat 3/17.
Finally got mine today. Was told they were shipped out on the 2nd but, didn’t receive a tracking number or anything. They just came by plain old USPS in a plastic bag. Different tail switch and different knurling on the tube than the one I bought off Amazon a few months ago. The tail switch has no U shaped cutout and the tube is now quite smooth. Sofirn style really. Imagine a Sofirn C8T with no notch in the tail cap.
I like it too. I caught myself spinning it around feeling for the U notch at first but that faded quite quickly. Works great. Going to use one of them as my first mod attempt. Have no clue as to what I am going to do. Research I reckon.
Tracking comes from the same email that sent the invoice. Got my lights, nice matte anodizing like Armytek, switch feels funky but otherwise nice light.
I’m still waiting on mine but I wanted to confirm that we are getting the version with an aluminum pill w/ 17mm driver and 20mm MCPCB. Is that the version everyone is getting from this deal?
