I got some emitters from Shiningbeam today, they are labeled 1D on the main page but 1A when you click on them. I put together a 3.5 amp drop in with one of these new emitters today and they are the brightest emitters I have ever seen. They are a 1A tint but these are much brighter than any 1A I have seen before. I am not sure what these are but I suspect they might be U2s.
Nothing! Grrr... Over three weeks since I ordered from DX. I know I should be used it to by now but it still sucks when they say 7-10 days and it takes a month or more.
got 4 AW 16340 cells in the mail. sick and tired of spending money and TIME searching for a budget 16340 PROTECTED cell for my EX10. I wont remove protection circuits, because I know that I Will OD my cells. The trustfire flames were the best so far, but are a crazy couple mms too long to work. The spiderfire yellow '1000mA' were Even longer. And after costing up some of the other brands + risk + time, I had to get some AWs.
So far from a resting voltage of 3.99, I managed to put in another 145mA into each of the 4 cells. Will see how they go when it comes time to re-charge.
not today but Friday. UF M2, 2 TF flames 14500, "Benchmade Infidel", Milspec rescue knife. The M2 is an awesome light with a 14500 love it. The "Infidel' came in a Benchmade box with all kinds of warranty paper work and the quality of this clone it top notch. I have bought the Microtech clones before and the quality of the Benchmade clone is far superior. Nothing special with the other knife it did come in a box. Both knives came with sheaths also.
I recieved my cw shadow tc6 yesterday. Looks as though I got ar coated lense as well. Also I will say this is Hands down the highest quality light for the money I have ever seen. Wow! However I did not receive any accessories with mine! just the light itself.
I got the SF L2r. It's a really nice host. The knurling and finish is like the L2i. I was hoping it would fit in a minimag holster but its too wide. Took about 14 days from SF sales. It passed an L2t in the mail. The L2T was only sent out one day before so it should be OK. I have a neutral XRE on order from DX for the L2r but it has been waiting for a supplier forever. I made a spacer so I can run a 4.2V XML dropin with a 14500 in the meantime.
1 = Ebay - Box of tools for lathe - drill bit (18mm), reamer (19mm), ball end mill (1mm), taps/dies. (lets try to imagine what could they potentially be used for? 18mm drill, 19mm reamer = battery tube, 1mm ball end mill for trit slots.. heheheh! (no plans any time soon, maybe next year)
2 = Tower Hobbies - Bits for dads RC Helis, OS Hyper 55 heli engine, tune pipe, props, and other various bits for my planes.
3 = R2 hobbies - bits for RC cars, wheels, tyres, and fiberglass mat. THIS BOX WAS AMAZINGLY PACKAGED, many companies can learn from R2 for HOW to properly package goods.
Took me 20mins to even get a glimpse of the stuff inside. It was packaged in Multiple layers of bubble wrap, which encloses the items multiple times, and around all this are 3 layers of hard paper/plastic backed foam sheet (think of the take-out foam, brittle stuff, but 1/4 inch thick, cut and taped together to form rigid boxes, with a Very neatly wrapped layer of bubble wrap between the foam built up box layers.... Those box knives "stanley knives" as they are commonly called, would NOT even reach the items if I was to take a serious slash at this box, there probably 1-2" of solid packaging material thickness. And all this contained stuff that was not even close to being called fragile (rubber tyres of 2" diameter, wires, connectors etc...)
And shipping was a very respectable price, Items are seriously cheap, and not only that, it was marked as posted on the 8th, arrival on the 16th.
Should have posted several days ago.. got my DQG from the group buy. Tiny does not even begin to describe it. Love it.
TODAY I got a nifty little lanyard, handmade by a skilled craftsman. I won't say who it is, but if you scroll up you'll see the very same item in a different picture.
