I was holding it in my hand after the current draw test in my light. Its cold here so my hands are NOT 98.6*F… Just didn’t feel like my hands were helping it to cool at all. After about 30+ seconds, and no cooling at all, I put it into a metal dish.
Interestingly enough… I noticed the Wuben e05 had a 12.00 coupon on amazon. Apparently I also had an old Vipon coupon for that item in my cart (I must have added it and never completed the checkout). I went to checkout now and it applied both coupons. It was like 4.00 out the door. Kind of hard to say no at that price.
Still not bad @ 28 its a great light , one of my favorites in the AA size. I did get one a while back on the bay for 24 shipped but he’s got no more. But its still not 4.00 .
Yes, it’s still there. I apparently had a 50% off coupon in there somehow and the $12 dollar coupon stacked on top of that. So I grabbed it at $8. I already have one I put a Luxeon emitter in. I guess I will do the same with this one and give it away to somebody. Bought a returned Zebralight SC600 MKIII as well. Got both after discounts for $43 and some change. I guess it was just my day for a change. I hit Place Order Now before they changed their minds.
I think $40 is too pricey for the light. While it is a step above most AA lights in brightness and build quality alone. I still wouldn’t buy a $40 AA light. Well unless it was some kind of alternative material like copper or something. While the emitter is just fine if you like cold white I replaced it with a 5000K one. Which is super easy. Bezel isn’t glued and a 16mm board with your choice of emitter slips right in. Though the copper board from mountain is a bit thick but, a little sanding had it fitting like a glove in just a few minutes. Fair price at $30 maybe, a good deal at $20 but I couldn’t pass up another for $8.
I grabbed two of these lights when Vipon had a $26 off coupon. For $16 bucks I couldn’t pass it up. It really is a nice light. The only thing I dislike is the long press to turn it off. Other than that it’s really nice.
