J-Dub74, that is one heck of a yard you have! I assume you have a riding mower?

Thanks. Actually my wife or I mow it with a walk-behind. Takes a while. That picture actually includes a bit of my neighbors yard. Mine stops maybe 75 feet past the mulberry. My walk-behind is not the city model though. It’s a 52” Exmark zero-turn walk-behind with a sulky. I walk it but my wife uses the sulky.

I doubt that I will ever carry either light, so I would like a good presentation. But, they will have batteries in them for dog walks and duty around the house!

Not yet. Still finishing up some details but we are almost there.Nevertheless, we are so close that boxes need to go into production. For $11 I cannot see why we do not have a box for every SS/Cu unit listed so far to date. By the same token I do not understand why all 400 SS/Cu sets are not taken up either. My biggest fear is the procrastinators that all of a sudden will want both the SS/Cu set with the box and they will not be available. I would just like to prevent people missing out on this serialized set.As I have stated many times, just a custom Copper X5 host would cost much much more than the cost of a complete SS/Cu set. Even just the BLF Ti that Rey put together was almost $100 for the host only and that still was considered an extremely good deal. Add the box and it is one hell of a gift or display piece…even if the light get used and is not a shelf queen.I know that many were hoping for this light to ready for Christmas but it would not have been the way we want it. Besides, who says gifts have to be given on Christmas only?

One more ss/cu set with box….nr 325 please, thanks!

from the aluminum side — how’s that looking? Parts lego-ing? Driver behaving? Finding emitters?
Just to say — take your time. Take all the time in the world, this round. I’d be happy to hibernate and come up in the springtime to find the light ready, and flawless.

NPR just had a piece

Why can't China make a good ballpoint pen? - Marketplace

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, keen to innovate China’s manufacturing industry, is on a quest to find out why China can’t make a good quality pen. The answer, says one Chinese pen manufacturer, is a domestic market that doesn’t demand it.

One of the manufacturers of Chinese ball point pens explained: they have an entire department full of people whose job, all day, every day, is to click each ball point pen.
Those destined for the Chinese market get clicked once.

Those destined for export to Japan get clicked twice.

He said it costs twenty cents per pen to click each pen one time — and his Chinese customers won’t pay the extra cost, preferring a higher failure rate.
His Japanese customers (these are wholesalers or brand-name-appliers, mind, not individuals) are willing to pay for a second click, to catch those that fail after one click.

Familiar.

This project could get comparable attention. Anyone happen to know Chinese Premier Li Keqiang?
Maybe he’d like a couple of flashlights that China can show off with pride.
