the password has been changed already - but since Neal DOES doublecheck EVERY SINGLE ORDER he will notice any stinky order ;)
about the Video from Julian:
he got a "advertising sample" planned long ago for the german market
delivering the flashlights to the participants of the groupbuy are not affected!
the time delays are due to production problems and improved quality control...

his account has been deactivated - in my opinion: if he cannot read, he should not post.
It shouldn’t change much. A few orders might need to be canceled. Madmax will have to redo a lot of things. New PM and passwords will need to go out to existing people who have not bought theirs yet. Then maybe another new password for when the next group of people are sent purchasing info. I don’t really know all the details, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Things are in good hands.
Thanks Dale for taking the great effort doing these shots and thanks Sirius for the mouse-over version that makes comparison very easy .
Obviously people who judge this comparison will prefer the cool white led because in the pictures it clearly lights up the target better. As effort is made by Dale to make the comparison as equal as possible it makes sense to get this opinion which contradicts the ‘Giggles’ team who tells us that the 4000K leds will light up the target better.
But there’s two observations that I have about this picture set that makes me unsure about using this comparison to determine my opinion of which tint is best:
1) as already pointed out, the white balance seems not equal over those two images, as is easiest judged by the light coming from the streetlamp in front of that house.
2) the difference in illumination on the the hedge, trees and water tower between the two pictures is huge, I estimate it even maybe a factor 2. Much more than one or two output bins or a tint difference could cause.
So perhaps the camera, even though everything was set on manual, may have done things automatically after all?
Have a look at the original photos and it is obvious the white balance is playing a part in this. The light in the porch of the house changes colour and I cant get over how much more spill one tint is giving considering the grass in the forefront is lit up in one and not the other.
Sure it’s a great example but I can’t see them as like for like examples because they are clearly different. THANKS though. seriously. I’m not ungrateful.
I used a couple nail files, one to depress and hold the bottom coils of the springs, the other file in-between the upper coils of the springs. I then stretched carefully to extend the coils. This made the spring overall height about 1/8" taller, providing more pressure against the battery. That in-turn has more force pushing the button "top" to make better contact. The 35E added buttons are a bit small, and low profile. IIRC, the GT was planned to have protected button tops as/per Lumintop specs. I can only assume this is the answer why the non-protected tops do not have the spec'd length. Your use of words are clearer than my short, non-descriptive choice of what little I presented myself with. Which made me think, make more sense ARsee. Sorry everyone for being vague. This was not intentional. I have a problem with word input oops
I still plan on solder blobbing the tops for better electrical contact, and spring pressure. With my carriers, when I rotate them with the 35E batteries installed, some of them fall right out. This can't be good.
No, the Lumintop batteries they were going to offer were unprotected.
The carriers were designed to handle both protected and unprotected. That is 65mm to 70mm. A 5mm difference and the springs can only compress maybe 7mm? So Lumintop got them just right. :+1:
Rather a poor show that out of all the members whoa have received this fine flashlight about the only non member video available is from Germany in German was hoping to see lots of pics and vids yet part from one video and the team members offerings we have seen nothing
so come on guys put us poor souls out of our misery and get some beamshots posted please
:+1:
