About Half.
ToyKeeper: hank:something I found in the troubleshooting section of my operating manual for mammals.
You mean the part where it warns about precautions to observe when twisting the tail??
HUMANS HAVE TAILS???
About Half.
Let’s ignore that Wiener Wuerstchen for a second: at least all humans (ought to) have tailbones!
yea, I read the bit about tightening everything, I swear I did. I had a devil of a time loosening the tail when I finally decided to (after reading all the warnings about inserting the battery from the head, don’t open the tail unless you have to), but after I did and re-assembled it, as I said, it worked fine.

amplificus:Has anyone taken a look at this “switch” in person? its a domed piece of metal that is taped onto the switch pcb.
Yes. It’s a pretty common e-switch design. This general type of switch is used on a lot of brands. Usually it’s more of an integrated unit where the dome is glued or at least the tape is cut and applied more precisely, but the style is otherwise mostly the same as other compact e-switches. I actually kind of prefer this to the Emisar switch in some ways — it’s harder to break and easier to fix. Not as small though, or as quiet. Instead, it’s more tactile.
Okay, switch design aside, anyone have any ideas about why one of my lights works perfectly and the other doesn’t? And before anyone asks, yes I read the F’n Manual. Thanks.

In addition to some having terrible senses of humor, all humans have a tail for I think 4 weeks.

It looks like a lot of problems can be solved with checking tightness of the various components (i think the driving retaining ring being loose is a culprit), as well as cleaning contacts and making sure there isn’t oil on them.
What’s the one not working right actually doing when you try to use it?

Hi…. Go HERE . Read it, do what is says, and hopefully that will fix you up. :+1:
flashycali:Nah FM is not old at all
Radio ?! One of the best thing on earth…it don’t make you captive on the couch like TV. In France, france culture is one of the more interesting with programs about history, cinema, science, music, etc. Depending on programm, the presenter can let the guest talk for 5 or 10 minutes and even more without interupting him. No ads within or between programms. :+1:
Right now there is a sociologist talking about “makers (space)”, “hackers (space)” and acaton.
I would wish to be more fluent in english to being able to listen BBC 4 more often.
Totally agree….Love BBC news….well except for their funny accent but I tolerate
Just in case no one’s noticed yet, a Nichia 219C emitter seems to be available in Neal’s website. No details as to what 219C was used though
OK, why are there so many LED versions popping up except for the SST-20 4000k 95CRI?
This is getting slightly annoying.

Oh that’s exciting! I wonder if they’re using TK’s 219C tuned firmware, the one that limits total output at like 50% to protect the emitters.
Also which emitter?? 4000k, 5000k, 80CRI, 90+CRI so many variables! I mean I’m totally ordering one but that’s besides the point.
I wouldn’t actually order one IMO.
We need to show our disinterest in other variants of LEDs.
Lumintop is trying to get us to forget about the existence of the SST-20.
TLDR: Only get the SST-20/XP-L HI version to show our wants.
I checked Neal’s site before leaving work today. That must have been added within the last few hours. Hopefully we can get a little more detail than just 219C.

I don’t disagree with this.
I’m definitely waiting for more info, but I am fond of the 219 series.
I’d also like to see them put out a Dogfarts version. Don’t get me wrong, I totally want to see a SST-20 version and a 5D version.
Can I just have everything?
Neal said there are no plans for a 5D.
Neal said there are no plans for a 5D.
Yeah, but I can dream can’t I?
The tuned firmware is for the 219B, which is much less robust at high drive current than the 219C. Stock firmware is probably OK for the 219C.

But what if I actually want a 219C version?
If it’s 4000K and high CRI. Otherwise I’m out.
