Hi,
I’m just curious: On my order, placed 5/9, it still says “Processing” and the progress bar is still stuck “Pending”. I’ve already received email from both Gearbest saying they received the order and PP that payment was made. Is this the same for everyone else’s order?
Hi,
What kind of current increase did you get by moving the emitter + wire to the OUT1+ contact? Will that work with the F13s from this GB?
Cant remember exactly.. Its a fairly long time since I made the picture, and I cant remember where I posted it (and the info about it)
I think it went from about two amps, and up towards 3. But I believe output were sinking fairly fast, and you need a good cell if you want to stay at 2,5A+ for a decent amount of time... When that is said, Im not sure if I tested it with any decent high current drain cells back then.
If its still the same driver it will probably work pretty much the same way.
RaceR86,
Ok, thanks.
This is a FET type driver right? I wonder if there’s a resistor mod for this?
CX2829 is the controller and the MEM2309 is the FET. Though really the 2309 FET only has one input, plus 3legs is for Vcc and four legs is for Vout - theoretically only need three pins so why they put in in 8-legs I never know.
CX2829 is somewhat kick-ass cheap controller being able to provide output 1.5A by itself in that tiny package. But it’s only used to control the 2309 FET here, and this FET in my experience can only give out around max 3A when driving older XMLs.
But we’re probably jumping the gun here - not sure which driver we’ll get anyway - this one will be Ultrafire version (instead of Skyeye).
It’s nice to speculate though :)…
According to this:
Is there another FET that might be compatible that’s lower resistance/higher current?
Cutter sells triple and quad boards that fit 35mm TIR optics. The Ledil Cute-3 and Cute-4 as well as the low profile GT4-xp series. The only 2 boards I’ve ever seen anywhere else fit these fantastic optics where Pilotptk’s integrated board and one made in EU, also integrated.
5/9 here plus they're 12 hours ahead, so they're probably closed for the weekend. At least the shipping dept.
Yes, all dealers close for the week-ends. Nothing will happen till sometime in their Monday afternoon. So, some time Sunday in the wee hours, or best look sometime Monday. Most likely with a bunch of orders, it will be Tuesday till they start to move out.
I was going to order two, plus a couple of other items. Total was just over $30, and was going to add tracking but decided I might as well use that $2 towards another light and get free tracking. Like getting the third one for $8.
Now, knock off this group buy madness for a few months. Please! 
Between you and ohaya. Fingers not in controll. Tried to stop but couldn't. Bought the GB and two AAA lights. What just happened?
Really OL, thanks for the GB
Maybe next month…
(with that C70 AAA)
I won't be doing another one for a month or three. There are too many out there and I will hold off for a while, till I see things calm down.
No, I meant, next paycheck… :bigsmile:
That C70 is already low priced at $7.75
Hi,
Just wondering… Has anyone gotten an order that’s passed the “Processing”/”Pending” step from the GB yet?
Ordered 2 with tracking no.
Nothing Processing.
Processing, but I just ordered yesterday.
Thanks.
Got notification this morning.
Hi,
Ok, some progress.
I just got an email today with a (China Post, I think) tracking number (I paid the $1.99 for the number). The number is still not working, but will post back when it does. I’ll wait until the number starts working, then I need to “remind” them that they need to refund PP for a light (not an F13) that I had included in the same order, but which they said was out-of-stock).
For the record, it took about 6 days for the order to get to this point, but 2 of those days were weekend, so net, about 4 days for them to ship and/or get a tracking number to me.
