I ordered a 3D and I tink I received a 7A (the carton box is labelled WW), hence my question.
Hi…. Go HERE . Read it, do what is says, and hopefully that will fix you up. :+1:
Oh yeah, “Protected” batteries will not work. They are to long.
Does it have a noticeable orange tint? If so it is a 7A.
shirnask:How long are your batteries?
6.75cm maybe? I’ve tried multiple battery brands that I have though, same issue. Even when I’m able to screw the cap on all the way, same issue. And it’s happening with both lights.
For example this is 1 of the batteries I have from MTN Electronics: Sanyo/Panasonic NCR18650GA Protected 3500mAh
67.5mm is likely too long for the inner tube to make contact. do you have anything shorter that you can try?
Mine was dead this morning. Charging now, but read 4.01
Maybe I did the lockout.
weklund:… ……I for one am underwhelmed with the specimen I received which arrived DOA and I am planning to return it.
I’ll take it for what you paid for it….I would like to check it out, if nothing else I’ll have spare parts…
Did you get this one KB?? If you did, please keep us posted as to what caused the DOA.
TYIA ….
fneuf: Coscar:Toykeeper set up a way for folks to donate to help support her time and talent on those projects if they wanted to
I’d be glad to do a little more than just posting a nice “Thank You” image for her, but as I understand it there is no way to make a momentary payment. Only monthly donations. Am I missing some setting?
You can join, do a one time contribution & cancel after it posts.
Or you can join, do monthly contributions. They can easily be changed month to month. So, for instance; join at $2 a month. Then on month whatever you want to contribute say $100 (or whatever amount). Change it to $100 (or whatever amount) for that month. When payment posts… change it back to $2 (or whatever you wish.)
It is somewhat flexible if you play with it.
That’s the way I see it. I havent been here but 3 years but I have probably collected +/- 30 lights. All of them loaded with toykeepers touch. If you had told me 10yrs ago what flashlights would be capable of…… I could not have even been able to imagine. I mean even if I only give $2/mo for a year it would only be $24 or like teacher said, you could give $24 the first month and then cancel. Really simple……… I think.

Nope… nothing yet…
Thanks KB.

Loose retaining ring. Back on track.
fneuf:Now what is the safest way to ensure which tint has been received?

my box had no labeling on it as to what emitter it had. Did others who ordered the 3D have a label on their box, just curious?
No label on my 3D boxes.
I have a 7a and a WW label.
My 3D had no label; my 7A had a WW label.
Got my lights in the mail a few days ago, just now tried 2 use them. Idk if it’s a quality control issue but I cant them to work correctly. Like my batteries are too big? The cap wont screw on all the way and when I get it on all the way the button wont depress at all.
I’ve tried both protected and unprotected button top 18650s. I also only inserted the batteries at the head per the instructions. And o my 18650w aren’t dead.
The buttons movement should not be physically effected by the battery length. The switch pcb sits against a ridge and the button floats on the other side. Maybe your too long cell is physically compressing the spring and bending the pcb?
If the batteries are unprotected, try loosening the head a few turns, then tighten the tail cap nice and snug, then tighten the head.
Also make sure the driver retaining ring is tight. It seems a lot have been showing up loose.

I measure that one at 69mm.

Nice pics….

You can join, do a one time contribution & cancel after it posts. Or you can join, do monthly contributions. They can easily be changed month to month. So, +for instance+; join at $2 a month (or whatever amount). Then on a month if you want to give extra, up it to whatever you want to contribute… say $100 (or whatever amount). Change it to $100 (or whatever amount) for that month. When payment posts… change it back to $2 (or whatever you wish.) It is somewhat flexible if you play with it. edited for clarity.
THUMBS-UP: That’s the way I see it. I havent been here but 3 years but I have probably collected +/- 30 lights. All of them loaded with toykeepers touch.

There. I don't think it is that simple. From how Patreon is currently set, so lets say by its definition, it is obliging you on timely payments.
Sure, you can cancel after the first occurence.
But you first have to remember that you have a Patreon going, then connect to it, go to settings, etc. All that even if from the very beginning you only wanted to do one payment. Even if a simple "recurrent / one-time" sliding button would have done the trick.
And knowing how humans or memory goes, it is likely you could forget about this repetitive payment. So to me it feel kinda "forced sale".
Then, I agree over the saying "the first level is only 24$ per year". It's completely true. My remark is solely base around the "technical/setting" aspect of Patreon. And as it's my first Patreon usage, so I'm discovering its arcanes.

Yes, it feels as it does.

Thanks for the feedbacks. And...
So 7A I have, it is.
