I finished the mod of the first SC31B. It's now running Anduril with a FET+1, XPL HI V4 3C - nice output at about 1400 lumens, some decent throw at 19 kcd. Used a 5.6K ohm resistor on the switch LED's and Anduril supports two output levels that seem to work quite well.
Honestly, I liked being able to sort through things by manufacturer, type, etc. It made it really easy to find things for myself, family and friends. The only thing I didn’t like on the old setup was the expired codes. Just my .02.
Full text search? I’ll have to play around with it, but what I’m getting at is take someone that maybe isn’t an enthusiast, or has friends/family they are shopping for gifts, and they know they want a headlamp but they don’t know an exact model. It’s nice to be able to sort available deals by headlamps and see what’s there in a concise manner.
I like the new site and I’m not trying to be negative because I really do dig the idea of letting the community play a big part, I just don’t want you to lose the functionality found in the lists you’ve previously used.
Maybe just searching “headlamp” will narrow things down enough that it doesn’t matter. You do a great service to the community and I do appreciate it. I’ve purchased a decent amount through you over the years. Keep up the good work!
Edit: Just tried text search and it worked pretty good. I used the example above and typed in headlamp and two came up.
the EDC18 short tube is available!
i listed it here: deals.m4dm4x.com
(and the EDC18 with code is also there in case you need another one ;) )
please note: due to corona shipping costs exploded...
neal has no code for the cheap tube so you can maybe add something else you want and use a code there to avoid shipping fee
