yeah i saw some go for 20-23$ on ebay was abit sus, i payed 75$ for my SRK when it first came out, my father uses it everynight for walks (hours or 2) for 2 years only now the threads worn off cannot be re attached. i thought it was 75$ well spent.
I hope things turn out well with getting some shelves or some kind of resolution. In the meantime… why did you pay Securitying prices for regular SRK clones? Did you not want the dumb name on them?
That was my total including (what turned out to be 3 day shipping from HK) and like I said these pretty much were securitylng’s- they have the red JB driver, the red negative contact board and they have XM-L2’s. My big attraction to them was the XM-L2’s reusing them I can save on buying 30 emitters @ $3 a piece so pretty much have to take $90 off that price.
The seller is being very responsive (tho quick to place blame with his suppliers), do you think I should open a paypal dispute now so he knows my intentions or just give him some time to figure out what to do? He has made it clear he doesnt have parts to send, so that leaves him finding them at some place over there and sending them to me, him paying me to pay bucket to make me them or just simply taking them back (him paying for shipping) and I get them from somewhere else.
Just for info, the light malls srk for $40 is the same! And that nice driver you are talking about has a 9926 fet, that can only give around 4.5A, not the nice fat one….
I think I also ordered my latest srk from the same supplier you are talking about…. :Sp
And can anyone please tell me where you can get a m6 for a few dollars more? ( Remembering that I am in South Africa, shipping is a bit of an issue…)
Thanks
Anton
4.2A, where are you getting these numbers? Maybe stock but these are great FET’s. I have built several of these exact drivers by piggybacking a ATTiny13A and they run ~18A of a set of 25R’s.
Maybe your talking about that’s the max from a resistor mod but these exact FET’s are capable of of nearly 5 times that when properly controlled, it’s the stock MCU that’s the problem.
Can you please take a pic of your driver, I will try to take a pic of mine and show you which component I am talking about? I will be very happy if I am wrong…
Hi again,
Sorry for lousy pics, used my tablet.
Q2 is the fet I am talking about, I believe it can deliver around 4.5A, it is marked 9926, are you saying this driver will deliver 15-20A with that fet?
I am not sure of the component that should be placed on Q1, I think that is the fet that delivers high current….
Quick update, hopefully good news, seller sent me an email asking why I felt this “Aluminum slice heatsink” wasnt enough, it pretty much proves my case, I’m giving him 24 hours to make an offer to fix this or I will be going to paypal, he pretty much provided me the only evidence I will need.
(this is his pic)
Flitsmal I t looks like you got a different board revision, Q1 is a different FET (N-channel). I have no idea about that 8 leg FET you have, on mine a normal (2 legs plus tab) FET is at Q1.
If you got that then you got what you paid for, as long as the stock light works as intended. If they have a returns policy, use it. Otherwise, you didn't bargain for a light that was good for modding, and the light you received isn't defective. That's just my opinion.
No that’s not what I got, that is his picture of what they “should be”, below is my picture of what they are.
Got ya! Now you've got some evidence. 
That pic from the seller is almost just as bad as having the mcpcb floating. :Sp
New update (also paypal case opened but seller is still responding at this point so not escalating it yet)
5 of the lights have heatsinks! Not the normal screw in shelves like I’m used to, these are just drop-in pieces and the I.D. threads on the body have been removed on those 5 lights. This means even if he supplies me with 5 of this style HS I would have to turn them down or turn the threads off the body for them to fit.
Man I’m so glad I opened one of the no-HS ones first and found out, it would of been terrible the other way around.
Mcpcb on a shelf with a big ol’ hole in it and the shelf rests on a tiny ledge… :~
What are your plans to move forward? Keeping the 5 with the dropin piece of shelf?
Right now my plans are to either return them for a refund and buy from somewhere else (and risk getting ones with XM-L’s therefore costing me nearly $100 more buying emitters) or get a partial refund of ~$100 and either buy HS’s from bucket or have my guy make something better to fit.
If the end result is me having my buddy make something to fit I’ll probably have him go as far as to turn the I.D. threads off the 5 and make 10 press-fit, solid emitter shelves, with a tight press fit it should be better than any stock configuration anyway.
I think if you look closely at your driver, you will find it is the same as mine…( The one in the pic anyway…) 
Ouch, I see what you mean.
Yikes, sounds like a large refund or return is in order—bad drivers AND poor or no heatsinking. That’s a total drag.
