I just changed my grey 219c mcpcb for a XP-G2 S4 5D 4000k. Wow, what a fantastic tint! Very warm with a nice subtle rosiness. It is everything I had hoped the S4 3D would have. Definitely my favorite now.
Now I just need to reflow some 219c 90+ CRI, r9050, sm405, d240 on another mcpcb 
And after that I need to buy another one with XP-L Hi 5000k and another one to try dedomed XP-G2 S4 2Bs or S2 1D in it. In the end I’ll probably end up with 5-6 D4s :person_facepalming:
This solar force clip works after removing some material from the interior of the ring.
I’ll need to grind off the unfortunately placed lanyard ring. Would’ve been better at 90° to the clip.
Oh yeah, the light doesn’t work with the clip on. I’ll need to either remove some stock from the cap or put a magnet under the board in the cap. Not sure if that board comes off easy so probably off the end of the cap. $10 off Fleabay.
Something going on with tinypic and can’t get flickr to embed. here’s a link.
Another solution to make the light work while there’s a ring between the tube and tailcap is to add some wire in the tailcap. A paperclip can work, or copper wire if you have it.
I’ll try that, thanks! really rubbing it in on embedding images. What did that take you, 2 seconds? lol!
She’s got skills, no doubt…
embedding images really isn’t difficult, the biggest concern really is having a stable online storage point. Then easy access through good internet. And the ability to search fast, through key words or fast typing skills. Or a green magic wand…
Not sure where this clip originated, it was in my kit…
Placed an order for a green nichia D4 thru Int Outdoor. How long to the U.S. Is the shipping? I’m not in a huge hurry, I got the fabulous astrolux s42 to play with! WTF were they thinking?
Took 12 days or so for mine.
Dale, that looks like a sunwayman clip.
What do the ‘blinks in the middle of the ramp’ mean…?
I think it’s the switch from 7135 and FET
Confirmed
Guys, thanks for the answer…
I really don’t know Gunga, it’s a nice fit and the ramp at the end of the clip mates up nice with the head, but if you don’t hold it out slightly when removing the tube from the head for a battery change it’ll scratch the head. (Of course, the tail cap is also removable)
I’ll be going to a shorty tube as soon as it arrives…

(allcool appears to be ‘in the know’. Can u imagine someone not ‘in the know’ trying to figure out that reply?) I’ve been around here over 6 years now and I don’t know what it means.
Purchased mine on July 30th. I have not received the light and tracking info shows no movement. I have emailed Hank several times with no response. I have no idea what the status of my order is. I don’t get it.

Have a look here:

It has already left China and it is in Singapore.
And most likely, it has already left Singapore (Singapore Post are VERY slow in updating tracking, and they often never update it).
Best Regards,
George
Thanks for the info. Tracking info is still vague at best and silence from Hank is not appreciated.
I ordered my Nichia from Int on the 31st. Mine says preparing to ship from Singapore as well. That was updated on the 11th. No updates since then. Wish there was an option for faster shipping. XPL-HI from Mtn came in like 2 or 3 days lol. But having ordered plenty of stuff from CN, I’ve learned to be patient. A month is longer than average but not unusual.
Sounds like we’re in the same boat. Nice to hear that this is not uncommon. I am really looking forward to the arrival of my 219 D4. I am sure it will be worth the wait.
Thanks for your comments.
The blink happens at the boundary between regulated modes and unregulated (er, partially-regulated) modes.
This serves two purposes:
This point is indicated by a dashed line on the ramp of the UI diagram, with regulation info off to the side:
