It sure is hit and miss. I have a bag full of centering rings because I often sand off too much and start seeing the numbers go down on my meter.
:person_facepalming: I’m so used to measuring tail switch lights I didn’t even think of the side switch. Thank you.
With the 30Q I use for testing I get 5.15 amps and with a slightly used VTC6 I get 5.48 amps and 120 kcd (with correction factor applied to my readings). Maybe it’s time to retire the old 30Q.
IMO the difference in output could be due to a higher Vf in this particular led. As I said it will find a good home where it will be appreciated.
UPDATE: I am still winning the battle of no new or recent tracking info.
^ Same here, but never got the overnight in NYC. Been in china the whole time. I check it a few times a day at this point. It’s like a sickness.
Try checking again, mine was in the same state as yours, but just updated (like, less than an hour ago) to “Arrived in New York”.
Thanks for that info Delta_V & congrats to you on some movement in your Mini GT tracking. :+1:
But I just checked and “no joy” for me… The ‘status quo of no updates’ for me & mind continues….

Teacher — I think you should go double check your mailbox—you might have missed it in there— The box was much smaller than I imagined it being—

I’m thinking it shipped by boat because I’ve had other orders from China placed on the 8th arrive by now.

I already did that my brother, in fact I broke out the magnifying glass as well as binoculars to double & triple check.
Still……. no joy. :cry: … .

Yep, either boat or a ‘trained bird’ that keeps getting lost. .
Don’t know if it helps, but I ordered mine on Aug 7, received it on Aug 20, this is Mid-Atlantic.

Yeah, I’m definitely a little disappointed. I hopped on the preorder, but I feel like I’d have gotten it by now if I had just ordered through BangGood instead. They even have coupons floating around to get it at the same price.
Mine was from Neil, not BG
