Here it functions this way: If the EU regulations are to the benefit of the population or customers,
its the national rules that apply. If EU rules benefits the State the national rules dont apply!!
Go-daw do!

For what reason? -which of the statements do you mean?
I wondered why did you get your flashlights confiscated for?
OK, they were not literally taken from me, but I refused to receive them and pay the additional $32 for each $16 light. It feels like "confiscation" of my Aurora 34. Good knows if I ever can lay my hands on that model. The two others were WF-502B. I hastely bought two empty bodies, two neutral XP-G's and some reflectors and builded two better lights. The 3 x 16$ is probably lost but that's life.
We need someone to forward orders in the Channel Islands which are sort of a part of the UK and sort of not. One thing they don't do is VAT.
I believe the Canary Islands have a similar status in Spain.
But the Channel Islands count as part of the EU for Customs purposes.
I'm in for the international flashlight smuggling operation. :)
Maybe you could be the european importer of lights as in Slovenia all valued under
22€ is free from import dues. Could be that its cheaper to pay you for postage to
me, rather than import direct and pay some hefty dues here.
Thanks for checking! :)
Ocassionally i can do. Regularly hell no. Our regulations have us make a statement that is for personal use. I'm being a tax evader if i just gift it to someone. Yep. I cannot even help paint heighbour's fence without risking to be fined.
From Slovenia to Germany 0,7Kg parcel with tracking number 12,90€ and that was with a discount, owning a business package deal with postal service... I doub't it is worth it. Also my customs are very strict for fakes, phones, and all household voltage device requiring perfect CE certification.
Dont be nervous Budgeteer, I was only joking. I know too well the high postalprices her in EU
Just got this driver from KD. (ordered the 17th and arrived today. They get faster and faster!)
On it is printed 105C not A as shown elsewhere. Dont know of its an approvement or not.
Driving a XM-L led it draws 2.8 amps on high, 0.8 on mid and 0.1 on low.
Does the big chip say ATMEL on it?
There is nothing printed at all on the big microchip.
Hi again brted
I check it again with a better light and a magnifying glass.
On it is printed:
Atmel 1017
TINT 13A
It can be hard to see without a magnifying lens and getting the light just right. Thanks for double checking. The ATMEL chip can be programmed with an AVR setup, but the blank chips can not.
Yes, and my eyes are not what they where years ago!
Thanks for info. I dont program though, but Im very satied
with the modes as they are.
Does the C means something? Used to be 105A.
I think they are using it to identify different versions of the driver. The pictures on KD show a 105 and it has 2 little resistors soldered on the bottom of the board. But the 105A picture above shows a capacitor on the bottom. So they are tweaking the design, but I'm not sure why.
I asked as I thought you maybe knew the difference between the various versions.
Mine has a single capasitor at the bottom.
