Sliced and polished?

I’ve made two purchases from MTN and both had lightning-fast shipping and were exactly what I ordered. Just finished my first custom build.

I’ll continue to buy as many parts from you I can for the more than likely future builds I will be doing.

I enjoy browsing everything on your website as well, so just wanted to say thanks.

Yes. Wet sanded down to 2000, then polished.

Thanks!

That looks great, Richard. I wonder how the time/effort compares to when I shaved-dedomed-sliced mine. May I inquire about your polishing method?

I put this one in a Convoy L2 with one of your FET+1 drivers… amazing combination!

Slice smooth, wet sand with 1000 grit, then 2000 grit, then 3000+ grit polishing compound. Really, the polishing probably isn't needed most of the time since the sliced dome is already pretty smooth, but it looks nice when it is super shiny. Obviously when you are doing 2000+ grit cleanliness is super important---any grit can leave much deeper scratches than that.

I don't like to use any chemicals when doing the dedomes; in the past it seemed to affect the phosphor somewhat giving some extra tint shift and unknown longterm longevity. I use only heat (traditional soft domes like XM-L2) or a sharp blade.

would you ever consider selling any of these dedomed LEDs?

Yes. They are for sale right now on our website.

Any idea why the new 5500 shockli batteries have a new skin on them?
The first three I bought had this nice red label on them:

Now they have a plan white and black one with giant text:

My 3 new batteries don’t match the first three :frowning:

I dont know… where did you buy it?? I buy my shockli from mtn. The last batch i received were red label ( top photo).

MTN electronics

The reason? Heck if I know. I feel like the battery manufacturers are always changing the labels on us without warning, rhyme, or reason.

Are there drivers out there that can take advantage of the tiny xqe on the new MTN triple?

Hey Richard, are you going to do a special promotion or something for your 4,000th post?

Count me in! :smiley:

Not that are available yet, but yes, there are drivers. :-). Look for them soon.

P.S. 4000 posts! :-)

Now I need to think of a good giveaway.

Yay!!! :+1: :sunglasses:

Congrats on the 4k posts! Count me in! :+1:

Absolutely love my D4 from Mountain. Got to love that tint on the Nichia’s. My first Nichia light, won’t be my last. Works flawlessly and got here quick. I carry it everywhere with me now. I plan on adding the rest of the lights to my ever growing collection. Thanks for all the hard work.

Hmmm, give aways. Something involving a 4000K emitter?

Congratulations on your 4K posts! :beer:
