Nice! I have a magnification thing in transit, big square with legs and some LEDs underside, used by elderly to read books but for $6,66 (no joke this was the GB sale price) I hope to use it for modding so I do not have to wear protective glasses while soldering.
When I got my first Pelican product back in ’95 the guarantee actually said that about Grizzly attack and small children, I thought it was hilarious, and so true, comparing the rug rats to the mighty Griz!
I use Peli’s for my camera gear, love em.
I thought you had made that up Dale. I was going to say they should hire you in their advertising dept. Lol!

edit to fix date.
I think you forgot to change the date on that last one mate… otherwise, it pulled a lot during those 42 minutes. Perhaps it had to listen to Vogon poetry or something, I guess that would explain it.
anyone have a link from within this thread that contains those photos of BGs bins of copper parts for the X5?
heads, bezels, tail caps etc ….
After dropping the SS X6, it makes sense why the cooling fins are not as deep as the aluminum X6. If they were deeper, the fins might be susceptible to bending much easier since copper is so soft. With today’s drop, I could see how the impact would have twisted and bent the fins if they had been deeper. Is that why?
Wow from what height did you drop it?
I think that the only reason for the shallow fins is that copper is a pain to machine, and to machine deep fins costs more effort (time, wearable machine parts) than they would save on the copper.
I havent seen it, but would be interested if you find it 
About 6 feet onto concrete. There was no damage whatsoever and it held up great with light scratches. It just made me think about the situation.
I only remember the pictures of parts shown on page one of this thread.
For those of you, who want other pocket clip options. I bought a foursevens PK clip and with the help of a dremel fit it on to the X6 (I got the idea off of the other forum).
Got my replacement reflector from BG, finally……. Quite smooth even though not perfect, picture taken with the plastic bag over the reflector

I think I’ll let this go 5 more days for a full 2 months.
Your testing is what led me to remove my tail resistors and bleeder resistors. I like the idea, but in a 14500 light, I like the maintenance free battery aspect of NOT having the tailcap lit…
Now I can keep mine by the bed for two months and should not be below 4.1V, I have light…
Thanks for the testing Joat, this is cool to see someone so dedicated as to NOT play with a new light…. your sacrifices are noted…
Unrelated to the current discussion but the X5 makes me giggle whenever I turn it on and jump up to turbo. That is all…
My x6 does not enter in menu/config mode. Tried to tap it for more than 20x, i think i made 50 taps, but still cannot enter into config mode. My other x6 is fine. Tried swap tailcap same problem. what seem to be the problem? Sent BG message hopefully their reply is positive.
Small update on my messed up tailcap. Paypal closed my dispute after 20 days (boooo!). Luckily Banggood had just shipped the replacement tailcap. I just got it. There is no coating so there is a patina, but it’s machined properly.
So it took like 9-10 weeks and a Paypal dispute, but Banggood did make it right. Finally!
Gunga, that's GREAT news at looonnnng last.
