So I’m just now waiting for the manufacturer’s response in regards to the springs.
Also, about the LH351Ds, some slight bad news.
My contact at Future Electronics found some good very tight binned LH351Ds in the tint bins we want… but the minimum order quantity is 5000pcs, which is a bit much
So, the LH351D part of the GB is currently in limbo.

Can you do a waiting list in case people don’t buy what they have reserved (and if that waiting list reaches 300, there is the option to buy another batch)?
I received the early bird SST-20s a couple days ago and stuck them in a few lights. In a D1S I get 670 lumens and 550m throw compared to 1000 lumens and 670m stock. There seems to be a tendency towards a ring around the corona with smooth reflectors, though it’s a lot more prominent in the Convoy C8. The tint isn’t horrible but it’s not spectacular either. This is an sw35 219B beside the 3500K SST-20 in the D1S.
Got mine today! Just opened them a min ago, well taped up. I should first put one in a D1 because my attempt at a sliced SST-40 in there didn't work out so well. Also got couple C8F hosts, so these will go in one for sure, then something smaller, not sure yet.
