Asked via the Contact link also — is there a way to search/sort out only the protected cells?
When I search “protected” the software helpfully retrieves all the unprotected cells also.

Any update on possible a deal with eagle eye for domestic x6 hosts? Hope your having a good holiday weekend

Yes, I think I can do it, but not through the plain text search function. I could either categorize them or add it as an item attribute.

> can do it, but …

I’d find it helpful to have a listing or a category for searching for protected cells.
Don’t know about anyone else, but if you sell a significant number, people are looking for them.

That would be a wonderful thing!! I love X6 hosts. It may be a pia for him though. Everyone that I’ve ever purchased from Gearbest had all of the other parts put in the same bag with the reflector so I’m sure you know how that story ends…luckily I mostly use the hosts for triples. It just makes me wonder if Gearbest does the crappy shipping or if they were shipped to Gearbest from Eagle Eye that way. I see that RMM often has marked down convoy hosts due to scratches and dings, hopefully he’s not having the same issue with any of the Jaxman hosts since he took them on. If he asks, Eagle Eye may ship them a specified way so not to damage anything.

Is there any way to define a word-boundary? Eg,

  • \bprotected\b

  • “protected”

  • +protected

etc.?

I tried that and it didn’t work.

Searching for “protection circuit” (without quotes) and checking the “search description” box finds most of the protected cells but misses one or two

Aaaaaand, the 14500 windyfires are out of stock already. :zipper_mouth_face: I wasn’t fast enough.

Sorry about that. Windyfire did not have sufficient stock to fill my order, so they sent what they had in stock with the remainder to ship soon.

No worries, I took too long to order. I’m just thankful that you carry them!

Any chance you might offer different FW for eswitch drivers?

Hoping to buy 8 button top non protected 18650GA’s; are they hard to get right now?

We can get them but unfortunately someone bought all of our stock, so we have to wait a few weeks until the next shipment comes.

Richard, my last XHP50.2 build was a FET +6 +1 and I set a PWM of 210 on my FET for turbo and that works great! Might be able to go 220 and get just a little more.

I got my JAXMAN E2L host last week from RMM and it’s in perfect condition. Not a nick or scratch. The threads needed lube, but I’m very happy with it.

Yeah, I’ve purchased 3 from him so far and they’ve been in excellent condition…as are all of the hosts that I buy from mtn.

Cool. That's good to know. Maybe a custom mode group for XHP50.2?

Just a couple of under exposed beam shots to show the difference between the TPAD quad MCPCB and the MTN Quad MCPCB both with Carclo 10621 optics

I really like the round beam profile of the MTN MCPCB, thank you for making these MCPCB’s available Richard :+1:

How is the beam different with the mcpcb using the same optic? Are the tpads not centered properly?

Thanks Khas! I worked on these for several months before ordering them, going through several iterations and ordering different boards for testing on FR4 before committing to the MCPCB run. To be fair, I didn't get the offset idea myself---the DSCHE quad MCPCBs also had offset angled LEDs. I didn't realize fully why until I got the TPAD MCPCBs and saw the beam pattern.

The pads are rotated slightly so that the square corona of one emitter does not line up with the others.

If you take 3 overlapping squares and rotate them slightly you get a more round shape.

Here is an example using 4 squares. (closest pic I could find)
