Mateminco MT01 (EA01) tear down, SST-40 5000K option

Thanks for the help! I made a nasty tool out of aluminum pipe, and it worked.

Nice! Think someone at work printed me a 3D tool as well, but with so many different lights and switch sizes, 3D printing is not a good option for me unless it's super easy and fast.

Tom, did you you see vietnamreviews EA01 disassemble video? The forward side of the driver was also covered with clay. Maybe for potting? I was wondering if it could be the source of the current leakage?

Tested my driver cleaned up, still leakage. In hospital now, covid finally got me. Should be out tomorrow, not sure how long recovery will take

Oh boy. Hope it’s mild.

It's a weird one, close coworker tested positive, couple days ahead of me, 102 temps for 9 days, lungs issues now, 3 PCR tests all negative. CT scan showed covid damage in lungs. So many classic symptoms but no positive test. Also pneumonia. Oxygen stayed above 90 though, and did not lose taste.

Covid lookalike or weird undetected strain?

Lyme ? Try an antibiotic. Can’t hurt.

Hope your hanging in there Tom, and definitely dose an antibiotic. I think with some of this Covid stuff, they can do some good. Especially for the lung infection. take care and get well soon man!

Was given antibiotics and steroids, nausea and temp cleared.

I had something like that last summer. 24 hours after taking the antibiotic I improved. My guess was Lyme but never saw any sign of tick or bite.

Yikes…!! Hope you get well soon. Yeah we’re not out of the woods yet with this thing. stay safe, praying for you and good lux !!

Thanks! Good thing is I lost 11 lbs. Home now, going slow though. Still feel odd. Docs said CT scan showed showed covid, but PCR test negative 3 times

Delays the vax for me. Was scheduled past Monday, now probably least 2 weeks. Whole thing was awful timing.

Whatever I had last summer made me lose 10 lbs in less than a week but it found me again. Anyway, good to hear you are getting better.

Great news Tom… Yeah I just got pfizer shot #2 on Tuesday. I had absolutely no side effect all from either 1 or 2. Maybe just a hint of a light bruise sensation on my shoulder but that only lasted a few hours and only the night of. Nothing else to report at all.

Shot #1 I got at a local community center. 1:15 hour line that circled around an adjacent park, about additional 25 minutes to administer the shot and screen for side effects on site. Limited parking. I had to park in an adjacent neighborhood and walk a couple blocks… shrug, beggars can’t be choosers.

Shot #2 was at my local football stadium. WELL staffed, zero line… I literally just walked in after staff member checked my paperwork. ~35 minutes for everything. Not sure if you have a choice, but IMHO sports arenas seem to be much better at handling large crowds and parking.

Good luck and get well soon!!
[EDIT] Tom E if this is too far off topic for your thread, just let me know and I will edit this post. Good Luck though, hoping for the best for you

Impressive photo. Glad for you … Especially in the topic “Disassembly Mateminco MT01 …”

It's all good. I can't do much of anything else anyway

I wish you health

Thanks. I thought I'd be ready for work tomorrow, but head in a fog, nausea still goes on. Guess it will take time

Hope you feel better soon Tom E.

Can an owner of these lights take a caliper measurement of the body tube diameter? Specifically the texture grip area across the mid section.

I am leaning towards the XHP50.2, 6500K. How is the color tint of the XHP50.2 when driven around ~1000 OTF lumens in a constant-ON scenario? How green/yellow does it get?
