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

Get'n nervous, not arrived yet.

@Tom E, no need to worry but I understand.

I’m not worried as much as before, as this time, Canada Post told me that because of COVID, US and international packages are just being delayed in general by 1-2 weeks, which is not what they told me last time I shipped earlier in the year.

But yes, I am still stressed.

Canada is so close, yet so far...

Yeah. I think because of all the issues I’ve been having for close to a year now, the SST-20 GB will be put off until next year unless I change my mind.
This is just making me too anxious in general.

They arrived yesterday!! All looks good, they survived the journey. Thanks !!!

@Tom E Niiice!

Finally :smiley:

Great news.

Got mine yesterday. Thank you

.
That is odd…. Hawaii…?
It would appear that Hawaii would be later. Who can understand the mail. LOL

I received my springs today :slight_smile:

I got my envelope too :smiley: , how to differentiate between gen 2 and gen 3 springs though ?

@thefreeman, look at the design.

Gen 2 springs have less coils, and as such, have wider deltas between wires, which makes them have higher conductivity(at the cost of mechanical strength, and still worse than my 3rd gen design in terms of resistance).

Got em… today!!!

Got mine today, better late than never, thanks

Mine arrived today along with the Convoy 4x18a.
I’m not sure about swapping springs in it because they look gold plated stock.
.
Thanks again BlueSwordM for making that happen. You just cannot get enough good parts for modding. :smiley:

No problem.

I’m so happy everyone finally received their springs.

That not only made my anxiety dissapear, but it also means I can start selling springs again.

How does the FB2 bin look to everyone? I’m thinking of getting a DT8 but since Hank ran out of the FA3 bin, I’m worried the 4000k sst-20 DT8 might look a bit green since I don’t expect each emitter to get much over 2.5.

The FD2 looks pretty good overall at low-mid currents, and excellent at high currents, but I’m not sure if it’s available from our usual supplier.

Hank has FD2s at the moment. I believe lumintop is using them or FA3s which I have in my HL3A. I’d be annoyed if I ordered a DT8 only to discover that it’s greener than my HL3A. I wouldn’t be able to stand it and would want to swap the emitters in one of the lights.

So, I just thought about something.

How much demand is there for a 5mm spring? Just wanted to know.
