So Gords, has your wife kicked you off the couch and out into the van now? :)
-Garry
So i think with new wiring you r looking at 3 a , better than my one :~
why do you think this mod happened in the van while I was at work? a60 has not come home yet…. :bigsmile:
besides there are many other reasons to end up on the couch in the mail……
Oh! I get it! A new light she hasn't seen yet! I thought maybe it was a midnight mod after she kicked you out for getting it!
-Garry
yep, I have leant some lights to my dad to survey for work, it may be that one extra comes back….
LOL - and he is still doing mods way to go gords!
um unbeknown to me, the other ebay light turned up yesterday……
I think mrs gords has given up, she didn’t even get grumpy lol.
full review coming up along with mod threads and give away. 3000 posts is rapidly approaching 
Way to go man! You broke her!
Seriously though, is that Ebay light you got this one:
If so, I'm looking forward to it!
-Garry
that’s one of them and nice though it looks, its not too hot under the hood.
:(
-Garry
(Sorry for the off-topic chatter.)
Dang that sucks. I like the looks of it also. Does it have potential though?
I think this off-topic discussion would be better suited for gord's 26650 tube light thread. Perhaps someone following that thread is anxiously awaiting to hear when gords has received this light.

I just received a review sample of the Jacob A60 from Aurabuy.
2.1Amps on high at the tailcap! EZ900 die
Looks like they have some better stock compared with the underdriven old stock.
Review to follow over the next few days
Just received my 2 from Aurabuy. One pulled 2.1 but the other was 1.05 so I shorted out one resistor and it came up to 2.15. Thanks to all for the tips!
Just got my Jacob A60 from AuraBuy - nice all-around so far, shinier finish than my DX one, EZ900 not EZ1000, says Jacob A60 on it while the one from DX said CREE Q5. With a Pana 2900, it pulled 2.2A but with a Samsung INR 1500, it pulled 2.4-2.5A.
Throw on Pana 2900 (best Pana tested), 2.2A: 78 kcd
Throw on Samsung INR 1500 2.4-2.5A: 80 kcd, lumens: 340 @start, 309 @30 secs
Looking at the beams at about 20 ft, the EZ900 based AuraBuy is smaller than the DX EZ1000, but the DX is brighter, more intense -- both on Samsung INR's.
DX A60 w/FT XR-E R2 EZ1000, 2.8A driver from I-O, reads 2.86A:
throw: 86 kcd, lumens: 408 @start, 374 @30 secs
I know these Samsung INR's excel with XM-L2's on SinkPAD's, but they also seem to excel in a A60.
Edit: Ooops! Light meter battery was dying so it inflates #'s. The Samsung INR doesn't seem to make a difference, and the 2 A60's are now doing about the same #'s, even though the DX A60 has an AR lens, driver of 2.8A, EZ1000 R2 emitter. So still, the AuraBuy Jacob is doing pretty good!
Gotta get back to work on the XP-E2/SinkPAD upgrade - got the emitters in, today should see the numbers (more accurate this time... 
).
Wow thats sweet Tom! Thanks for that info seems like they are putting it in everyones that recently got it from aurabuy. Wonder if the small sun C10 I just got from them might have the same ez900 in it? Will have to investigate that!
Just received my Jacob today. Using a AW 2600 cell fully charged, it holds steady at 2.35a at the tail cap on high mode. This was using my 12g DMM leads. Seems really nice and in mint condition.
I too received one from AuraBuy that fits the description given by Tom E above.
I noted two additional improvements over my previous pair from DX: much better heat-sinking and memory fade-out in 10 sec (vs. DX 5 min).
Someone please give me a link to a driver you mention that woud be the best for A60. Please
