Nichia, your posts in this thread come off as very inappropriate, to say the least. You have no interest in this light, so maybe just find a different thread to participate in.
Ignore him.
You’re right, that is good advice. I will try.
I find it funny everyone suddenly is against China-made lights and all pro USA-made lights like they’re some kind of easily-impressionable 14-year old girl that hoo-has off of who yells the loudest on Twitter. It’s like they think the location of the CNC-machine makes a difference in the quality or some mysterious aspect of the product.
Guys remember this this forum is not possible if not for China. China literally made ALL, 100% of the lights people talk about these days on the forum. You can find some shitty lights made in the US like maglites but it’s an embarrassment and a non-factor in terms of lights. All of the popular brands like Astrolux, Emisar, FF, Olight, Acebeam, Imalent, etc, etc are all Chinese brands.
Even Vinh makes a killing off of modifying those China-made lights. Imagine him trying to make a living if he didn’t have those base lights at- or near-cost to buy, instead had to pay retail for USA made lights lmfao.
If this light has made-in-China components then I’ll probably splurge and buy one of these lights. I make a point in my life to support those poor but extremely hard working individuals in China working so that we may have access to modern life-changing electronics at such affordable prices. If it weren’t for them all of our day-to-day items would cost manifolds over what they cost now. For example I just bought 8 of the Astrolux MF01 mini and will give 6 away to friends. For $44 it’s an insane, mind-boggling deal for how good of the light this is. Granted I haven’t got the light in my hands but if the MF01s is any indication it’s an exorbitant light wonderfully crafted to perfection at a killer price point.
Lights like the MF01s made in the USA (not that it’s possible, for we’re used to seeing junk 1500 lumen lights w/ ugly tints in our brick and mortars) would be $300+
Notwithstanding top-tier Chinese lights like Acebeam is getting their price-point up there but I don’t buy their products.
Oh yes Please Almighty Truth Master —Tell us what you think we should know—— Why don’t you just Get Lost Already
nichia sounds like wolfdog
This thread is to present and discuss Vinh/Skylumen project!
If you people wanna rant and discuss anything else, create a thread and do it there! Leave this thread for what it is supposed to!
Let’s not make sb lock this thread due to parallel discussions and unpleasant exchange of unnecessary arguments!
Shall we move on, gents? 
That’s completely untrue. I don’t think you looked at the whole thread or his videos. This is a completely new light being launched by Vinh.
Have you ever looked at the prices for PFlexPro semi-customs?
I don’t buy your argument on some components being sourced from outside the US meaning “not made in US” either. Cells phones have much of their electronics manufactured in Korea or Japan and yet are listed as “Made in China” as that is where final assembly happens.
Is there evidence that Overready sources only US-maunfactured for Every. Single. Component. in their lights? The boards are custom AFAIK, but where do you think the chips, wiring, etc. are made?
SLN Test 13: 4 Story Drop
Vinh, what size is your 12 emitter board? Will you be using it in your flashlight mods? Will you sell those separately to modders?
About 23.8mm
A special light engine is in design just for this custom MCPCB to be used in SLN
I might use it in other lights as well
I might ask Richard to help me sell some as I don’t sell parts to avoid stepping on his toes
Nothing is decided yet and the MCPCB and copper light engine for it is still in design
Wow that’s quite the dents!
The impact & drag test on the same day put dens just like that on another cell.
The 4 story hit must he HARD because it put similar dents with just 2 hits.
Definitely a very strong well built light. :+1: Great work as always Vinh! :sunglasses:
IMHO you can avoid batteries looking like that by separating the connected-at-all-times aspect of the spring from the absorb-the-total-impact aspect.
Absorb the impact by, let’s say, a fat soft rubber cylinder shaped ring around the spring.
That way the fully compressed spring does not have to behave like a steel nail.
The soft ring can deal with unbelievable forces, because it is surrounded by a massive tube.
Just saying. The spring only has to deliver the juice. Give it some body guards.
But maybe you already have thought of that and I’m only kicking in an open door (Dutch expression).
Genius! 
how would this compare to a Malkoff ?
Wow,nice work.
Looks like very durable light withstanding many torture tests.
