BLF Interest List: EX3 High Current Beryllium Copper Silver Plated springs - Still selling my springs :)

No, but you’re on the list for this weekend.

Let’s just say that I have a new job at an interesting place that took some time reserved for prepping plus shipping the packages:

Just want to make sure I’m caught up and that my reading comprehension is up to snuff: just LEDs are shipping currently and the springs are not in yet? Orders with springs and LEDs will ship after springs arrive? I know it’s in the 300+ comments but would rather ask than reread all of them.

Both types of orders have been shipped.

I think yours have been shipped already.

Oh yeah, maybe I should post pics of the springs.

No need to make me jealous now. Wait until you make the next batch. :person_facepalming:

That is beyond exciting! Thanks again for doing this.

Got my springs and leds this tuesday. They are awesome. The big springs are indeed much better than the second generation.

Comparison of the second and third generation AgBeCu springs

Much better after compression (Gen 2: compressed, uncompressed; Gen 3: same):

Spring close up, interesting that there are some shiny and some matte parts

The SST20 FD2 have an incredibly nice color rendition and tint, I already build a triple S2+ with them, more to follow.

Can you measure the fully compressed size of big gen 2 and 3?

Here are my measurements:
2nd gen: big uncomp. 11.95mm, big comp. 8.83mm; small uncomp. 10.35mm, small comp. 7.59mm

3rd gen: big uncomp. 11.91mm, big comp. 11.07mm; small uncomp. 10.38mm, small comp. 8.31mm

I dont think I was very clear, though this is good to know. I meant how low can it go, not how much it bounces back to.

Like does it go from ~12mm to 6mm when under pressure.

Got my springs and LEDs in the US yesterday. What light to put those LEDs into? I have an extra FW3A with the Cree 3D in it, I think that is about to change! I will be able to compare the stock SST20 4000k to this new led. I am not unhappy with the stock SST20, but it has not thrilled me either so we shall see. Some springs may end up in the Q8, bet that they will help her out as I never did a bypass on that light.

Received few minutes ago. :+1:

Sorry guys for the delayed shipping.

I recently got a new full time job at this place:

And it delayed shipping by a week.

I’ll start shipping again starting tomorrow.

All orders will be shipped this week.

Recieved your springs and LEDs

happy modifying :smiling_imp:

I haven’t kept on top of this thread and whilst there’s no rush, I was just about to check to see if my order had been posted as lots seem to have got theirs, but you beat me to it. Good to hear your new job is going well and thanks for the update about LED’s.

Just received mine in the mail. Thanks so much.

Got my LEDs as well. All tested and working. Thanks!

Sounds like the ideal place to work for a LED addict! Congratulations!

Not really…

I’ll talk about it later today for why it’s a good job, but not a great job from someone who comes from BLF.

Hello,

I want to purchase
–6pcs large BeCu spring
–6pcs small BeCu spring
-If any are still avalible: 3, or up to 8 SST-20 FD2 could I pay $3.00 each for them?

@Everybody, the shipping deadline has been set at Tuesday next week. That means EVERY ORDER WILL BE SHIPPED BY TUESDAY MORNING AT THE WORST.

@likevvii, you’ll have to wait until Wednesday next week to see if there is any remaining stock for the LEDs.
