No problem Pete. It’s on it’s way to you. You should have it in a few days.
I could easily see this happening with a tired worker grabbing from the wrong bin and not noticing or one of the smaller rings fell in with their bigger brothers. Nice easy fix thankfully but I did let Simon know about the slip and showed him the pictures you posted.
Now all I have to do is find the bag of spacers I have somewhere at home so I can put my C8 back together. :person_facepalming:
Does there come a time when you officially have too much flashlight stuff?
I know I have a package of those spacers it’s just a matter of figuring out where my wife “filed them” for me. I have a bad habit of putting small parts like this in one of a few drawers in the dining room or living room. Once every few months she gets sick of seeing flashlight stuff everywhere and all gets put into a bag or a box for me to sort later. That “later” is LONG overdue…
I keep LEDs, drivers, etc., in those little glassine bags that FT sends. Small card listing what the critter happens to be (eg, “17mm 1.40A 1-mode 4V”, “16mm XP-L 5D”, etc., whatever happens to be useful), and bundle all of the same kind into 1 baggie. Lately, though, I just have the orange FT sticker that’s on it, and have to look up from the packing list what’s a “17069473” or whatever.
Still gotta spread ’em out and look at the bags to find anything, but…
Thanks Pete, from the first page I click the buy now. The second page appears and asks me to select and emitting color. I try to click on any one of the three emitting colors and I get nothing. The shipping destination is preset for United States. No other buttons work on the emitting color page. I’m trying this from my phone perhaps I should try it from my computer this afternoon.
Thanks again.
Hum, can you install the AliExpress App on you cellphone? If so, have a try!
It is a good app, allows you to make payments, choose colours and other available options, and perhaps it works better than the site in some situations!
I use it in a daily basis and so far I hadn’t many issues with it! :+1:
I second this. I’ve only ever used the app for my business, and I have absolutely no complaints. Helps that unlike the Banggood and Gearbest apps, the screen flips on a sideways phone so the keys aren’t microscopical!
I did a quick measurement - got 73.4 kcd. Mine is the 3A tint. I’m guessing people that reported the 80 kcd measurement probably got it on the 1A tint? Using a fully charged Samsung 30Q cell. Clamp meter shows 2.75A at the tail cap.
How?
I only measured 54,5 kcd in a stock XP-L HI V2 1A Convoy C8. The only difference is that mine doesn’t have the AR coated lens.
I needed to add 2 7135s to achieve 73 kcd.
I measured a black with same led and driver:
918 lumens
32500 Cd
You can see a lot of other measurements in my signature in the Big flashlight measurement collection. This one is in line7.
You really made that tail clicky button stand proud!
I tend to shy away from a proud clicky as they can get activated accidentally pretty easily, but I have cut one down to the bare minimums while keeping the button surrounded for a friend that wanted easier glove access.
I shy away from the proud ones because my wife carried a Solarforce light with a proud button that came on in her locker at work when she placed her bag in, found it on and wickedly hot when she took a break. Time and a place for everything, I know….
Of course we know that, but my wife didn’t at the time. I found one of those plastic drill bit cases that screw together that would hold the light, she carried it in her bag in the protective case after that.
