If I had a mill I’d mill out the star from the back to expose the pad from underneath, then bore the appropriate guage size hole in that pad trace. I’d run the lead wire into this hole from the bottom and solder the wire into the trace hole like a via, then cut it off and sand it smooth on top. A painted on layer of mask and the surface of the star would be smooth and unobstructed.
Then again, if I really knew what I was doing I’d use connectors and make the entire assembly plug and play.
My K50 just arrived! But this was from HKE with EMS shipping. I ordered one for a fellow flashaholic.
The one from the GB should arrive in a week or two.
Here are some quick pics, but I’m not sure how to get the head open. Maybe it’s glued?
Prominent deep blue/purple AR coating on the lens.
I really hope it isn’t glued. That will be quite annoying.
I think the members at the GB were assured the head wasn’t glued.
Maybe it’s just my light from HKE, I’ll try to open it up.
i have mail with invoice but no tracknumber today from the groupsbuy .
or not mail it was send
I haven’t gotten a tracking number either, I’ll PM Bella and see what she says.
No tracking number here either. But the email I got with the invoice is a confirmation plus invoice attached. At a guess, maybe they are waiting to ensure the details are correct? Giving it some time for people who have incorrect information to respond.
That makes sense, but it also said no need to respond if all is good. Perhaps a confirmation email needs to be sent. I’ll wait to see what Bella says to Ryan though.
All these guys getting a K50 in the mail is making me itchy all over. 
^ LOL, +1
Sweet!
I expect to see a full mod tutorial by the time I get my light. No pressure.
Now. Chop, Chop. :D
Well, I would, but when someone edits a post on the first page of a multi-page thread, the first view of the edited post resets the 'new' flags of the actual new posts on page 3! J)
i hope to find a clamp for on my bike for this light.
^ It's a big light, but I don't think it's so big you would want clamp your bike to it.
Seriously though, won't the beam be a bit too narrow for biking? I'm guessing the spill will be a bit too faint.
i use mu yezl y3 on my bike
or a triple dedome xml bikelight with batterypack on combination with a UFT20 on far zoom 
on a dark bikeway everybody stop and go on side.
i gonne try for sure the k50 v2 too
Ummm. That might be a problem, for bicycle use I can foresee a new rule about light intensity. Especially if your are from the Netherlands or close to the Netherlands. They like to make many rules for bicycles.
On the road it needs some consideration using high powered lights. It can be very dangerous, blinding people. So be careful with what you are actually doing. Please behave a bit mature on those occasions.
No this is not a bike light. End of story!
LOL!
Here’s what Bella said about the tracking numbers:
Thanks m8, back to the waiting game.
