At the beginning estimation, or at the end when you actually go to check out? For some reason it keeps on trying to add tax at the beginning, but when you get to the bottom of the page (before you actually check out) the tax will be correct.

Also, if I click estimate shipping and tax initially it removes the tax. I'll get it figured out.

Its been doing it both ways. Sometimes it adds tax at he beginning. Another time it didn’t and I went all the way to the end of the checkout process and then it added the tax right before I was about to pay with Paypal.

Clear your browser cache and try again. It should be fixed now, although I've never seen it calculate incorrectly at the end of the line and I've tried dozens of addresses and zip codes.

I cleared the browser cache - still happening. Total should be $86.85

I had no problem with yet another order. :slight_smile:

(Had to test the new system, don’t ya know!)

Good to see those pcb's back in stock.

Just figured it out! My account address didn’t have a Zip Code. Even when entering the zip on checkout screens – the sales tax still appeared. After modifying my account address to include my zip code – the order process didn’t try to charge me tax. Just placed the order with no problems now. -Steve

Ha ha ha. Even though I know some of my lights are 3000+lumens or have a tight beam I’m still going to look into the business end while it’s on full power one way or another. I know it’s dumb in the back of my mind, but I can’t NOT look at it. I have to do it at least once with each light.

Cool, thanks!

Richard,
Could you sell me all the components necessary to build the triple s3?

Time to borrow from the digital cameras, and add “face detection” and “red eye” feature to flashlights?
If the lens is pointed at a human face, give a preliminary couple of low level flickers so the pupils contract before full power ….

Or borrow from the laser labs, and provide a stencil that prints on the forehead in mirror-lettering
CAUTION DO NOT LOOK AT FLASHLIGHT WITH REMAINING EYE

…challenge …accepted.

By the time I put in all of the work reflowing, sanding, drilling, adding chips etc. the labor is already almost done, so in my mind it doesn't make sense to sell it in kit form.

If you want to buy the parts to do it yourself, here's what you need:

  • S3 Host
  • 17mm Driver (your choice)
  • Triple Noctigon LEDs (your choice of tint)
  • Noctigon 3XP Bare MCPCB (to sand mask off and reflow)
  • Carclo 20mm Optic (your choice)
  • Copper Braid
  • Thermal Paste (do not glue MCPCB to pill!)
  • Patience

!

Well I already have might could find this one, so I guess I’ll get to work… Waiting.

Thanks for your input (and eventually your work on a triple s3!)

Richard,

I see your now out of the S3, I am partially to blame…

With your spacers, are the S2 or S6 able to use the Tripple? I forgot to take notes if someone looking for another host.

You could sell one to make up for it :wink:

Yes they are. Those spacers are specifically made for the S2 and S3 so that others could build their own triples without needing to be a machinist! The only work besides soldering that needs to be done is to drill a hole in the middle of the S2/S6 pill for the wires to pass through, which is an easy task considering it is thin brass.

I gave it to my brother so now I good boy!

As am I! Per USPS tracking mine is due for delivery tomorrow. Only one though so I do not consider myself greedy. :bigsmile: M6s though are another matter. They look to me more like BEER CANS than soup cans. :beer:
