I have finally received my light yayy

It’s been a while since I visited this thread, and even longer since i remember reading this but iirc turbomode is entered by double clicking and should be visibly brighter than the top of the ramp? Am I remembering correctly? If it isn’t (which is my case) any reason that you can think of? To head off the question im using the cells from Neal that i purchased with the light

Thanks in advance

Sooooooo…… I signed up for the forum after the initial purchase group. I have yet to receive an email asking for down payment, etc. So am I just wasting my time at this point? Thanks.

Don’t worry, they would send you a refund if you requested it, there would be no need to file a paypal dispute.

You’re on the list. #1091.

Yes, the ramp stops at 2A and turbo goes to 2.5A.

Visually the difference is very minor and hard to notice unless you are looking for it (which is why we set the ramp to stop at 2A).

If the cells are low or have excessive voltage sag, then turbo will not be any brighter then the top of the ramp as it would have already dropped out of regulation.

This is where high drain cells do have benefits, they voltage sag less and allow it to maintain regulation longer.

I have yet to manage to open the head to adjust the centering ring, as it is on too tight.
The hotspot seems to be very far from a perfect circle so it might actually affect throw in this case, still thinking of how to remove this oversized head with whatever I have at home.

For those that have done so, any tips?

The 3rd batch of PM’s has not been sent out yet. It is looking like it might have to wait until after the Chinese new year at this point. Hopefully they can “stockpile” some reflectors to make shipping faster.

Thank you TA. I’m getting older and it may be my eyes aren’t sensistive enough to pick it up. There is a momentary dark period when it switches from the top of the ramp to turbo and it appears the same to me but im sure it’s just my vison.

Let me guess that only orders “with batteries” were declared as 30$ value …

I just sent a new email reminding Neal that it is absolutely necessary to have the AWL DHL for the customs declaration
Without doing this procedure I can not enter anything to the country

Just a thought… Use a large rubber band with a large pipe wrench. The Rubber Band protects the surface and also provides extra grip. The Pipe Wrench I am talking about is the one with the chain…

Zip Ties may also fill in for a similar “tool”

Can it be believed? :open_mouth:

With all of these orders, there are bound to be some mistakes along the way. Can’t say I am surprised. I am sure Neal will sort it out.

!!

How you feel when you see the Giant GT.

If you have not payed extra fees and taxes in the Customs,send it to me please,as I also am in EU.I think we can manage it with Neal. :slight_smile:
Of course I have payed at 2/12/2017.

Received mine today. Ordered with batteries but there was none with the package. What should I do?

While the pipe wrench below will no doubt do the job…. be sure to use plenty of padding between the bezel & the chain if you use it.

Here is a strap wrench to consider.
