@Horst Horstmann

Whoa did your L2M come with the really cool bezel or did you order that separate?

My $33 UltraFire HD-2010 came today. I tried to distract my wife but it didn’t work, she wanted to know why I needed another flashlight, so I told her “this baby is rated at 1300 lumens. If our power goes out again, I wanted us to have something to light up the room”.

I don’t think she bought it.

I got a Small Sun ZY-T13 and a UniqueFire UF-2220 and whoever wants a great thrower for $24.24 has to get one of these T13!!! The UF-2220 is an awesome light also!!

[Slewflash]

My infrared thermometer finally came.

Now I can include temperature readings in my next comparison when I receive my STL V2.

I measured my eBay HID bulb to run at approx 175 degrees celcius (347 farenheit) after 1 minute, pretty hot!

Two Nichia High CRI LEDs. :)

@Horst: What purpose do these copper rings have?

Tripod mount holder for Canon 70-300 L IS http://www.dealextreme.com/p/aluminum-alloy-lens-tripod-mount-holder-for-canon-ef-28-330mm-f-3-5-5-6l-ef-70-300mm-f-4-5-6l-130423 .
For about 1/10 the price of the original Canon part, this is one is really very good (original Canon = 169 Euro, i have payed 17,05 Euro for this one).

Shipping is not included but in the past it’s never been more than $2.25 for a handfull of LEDs and/or optic lenses. I just ordered 3 of the U2 bin just now.

[pounder]

got my neutral Tn30 yesterday…pretty nice light…ring is disappointing though…feels cheap vs my swm v60c…all in all a nice light though with a great tint…

[Sirius9]

@Horst Horstmann

Shipping was 2.25$ - and they grant a 5$ bonus to new customers, so I paid 14.80$ for three. :money_mouth_face:

How did you get –5$?

What purpose do these copper rings have?

Like most others here, I’m using the “foil trick”, but pressed foil doesn’t look like an reliable mechanical & electrical contact to me, so I use these copper gaskets to get proper contact and a tight fit.
Press one gasket onto the pill and put another one into the tube, then put the drop-in in and fasten the head as far as possible without risking to ruin the threads.
There might remain a little gap on the outside (between head and tube), though, but copper gaskets are usually made of soft-annealed copper and can be sanded down quite easy.

The foil isn’t for electrical contact (spring) or mechanics (reflector against glass) as much as heat conduction.

I got my UF-V3 from off ebay. Tailcap innards weren’t screwed in well, but when I fixed that problem, this baby is a thrower with performance on league with my Keygos and just below the 980L. Is much smaller than it looks, too.
