What you got today

Thanks pounder!

I received a UF50x host and a dropin with blue LED. Gonna swap the driver because its 1 mode and 1A only.. but very bright. And nice blue color, makes any XML look like warm white. ;)

no problem!

@okwchin - neat on both counts but if the glasses are Bodum you need to be careful. They are nowhere as strong as claimed and are actually rather fragile. Also, i haven't necessarily felt that they keep drinks colder/hotter for,longer than regular mugs despite the double-walls. They do look very cool though.

my new best AA/14500 friend :stuck_out_tongue:


(to see @ 100% right click -> View Image)

Is that a 1 mode or 6 mode?

I have a 6 mode version and I’m afraid to put 14500 in it, it will almost certainly fry the driver in a 6 mode version.

Manafont order came in today and I received - tail cap remote switch universal, 10 pack of GITD switch covers, 2 BLF lanyards, and 2 trustfire flame 18650’s 3000ma . Just a few more parts and I will start my first mod of a flahlight.

I got my tr-006 charger from MF today. Opened the yellow bubble wrap envelope. I put my hand in and it was dripping wet. WTF? I examined the envelope and could not see any tears or rips etc. The charger was wrapped in bubble wrap and appears unharmed but the bubble wrap was wet. It is like it was dunked in a bucket of water and then placed in the envelope and sealed up. Very strange. Maybe some sort of condensation build up? It was quite wet and I have never seen anything like this before. Charger is working.

Yes, it’s 6 mode version. I love it, best small light that I ever owned :smiley:
I did try it with 14500 but since these are new batteries and I don’t have any working charger they are 3.81V and 3.71V
and nothing fried with either of them, nothing exploded, I’m still alive. I do not know what would happen if the batteries had
4.00V or full 4.20V!!!
But this flashlight is doing amazing job with one average AA battery (Mi-Mh 1,2V)…

Got my UF H3 today! After 3 months! Yay! :D

Today I got a Jackpot:

- Romisen RC-T601 II U2 from RedForest UK: Very nice. Works well, draws 3.1A on high. Thanks RedForest UK!

- Three knives from DD (ordered 5/28, received 6/14 -> 17 days):
- SRM 613: Probably a nice knife, but not for me. Not impressed.
- SRM 721: Nice, thin knife with a straight blade. I like!
- SRM AU4719: Wow! Great little knife! Thin enough, very nice design, can be flipped open with one hand. Design kind of reminds me of the Leatherman Freestyle CX multitool. Best of these three, IMHO. Recommended! ($7.19 with coupon code "retailmenot10off", free shipping - Not bad at all!)

- Two flashlights from DD (ordered 5/25, received 6/14 -> 20 days)
- Tank007 E09: Nice little light. Gray color suits it well. More impressions later.
- Bronte RA01 Purple: Looks cool. Didn't even open it yet.. :)

+ something in the post office. Maybe it't the Skilhunt Ramble Iota from DD. Let's see..

Edit: No it wasn't. It was 20 x Energizer Ultimate Lithium OEM from eBay: Multiple colors, all cells 1.80-1.81V. Good.

Mind my asking what you paid for it? Our own E1320 would have made a better one along with custom mode programming. :wink:

That’s cool. I’ve never seen a Nailbender drop-in before, just heard about them. From all I’ve heard about them you couldn’t go wrong with getting one from him.

Why would it be better?

The mode is exactly what I wanted-

I paid $40 + $5 for potting-

Better because for $28 you could get up to 3.5A potted and regulated and modes setup any way you wanted. Not saying that nailbender’s stuff is bad, but there are equal and/or better options available for less. If you checked out the link I posted above you would see why your next one shouldn’t be a nailbender. :wink:

I’ve put in a 14500 at 4.10V and nothing broke so far. I liked it before, now I love it! :smiley:

I’m afraid to run it for too long on high, though. :frowning:

Got some solarforce drop ins from itc_shop on ebay = jo from solarforceflashlight-sales.com paid for them on 6-7-2012 and received them today 6-14-2012!!!

Oh. I noticed that I actually ordered what look slike ZB4719, but got AU4719. Let's see what DD CS says about this.. ;)

I think AU looks even better, so I shouldn't be complaining..

ZB:

AU:

BTW: Why is there no love for this knife? Didn't find real reviews or anything.. And I was very surprised about how good it looks & feels. Small, quite thin, and with unique design. What's not to love?

Got the C8 today from ebay seller

The threads were nice and lubed, glass lense, and metal reflector. Great price just over $8. Ordered 5-26-12, received 6-14-12. Waiting for dark to compare with the small sun zy-c10-s
