What you got today

I bought Leatherman Surge at local game store, wow, Im impressed, if not for the replaceable wire cutters on ST300, I would have gotten myself Surge fo-sho!
This one is meant to be as a present to retiring commander of our fire support company in the military!
Gave it away today to do some laser engraving 8) !

Got my NiteCore EA8 from buyincoins.com today. Yes, some of you may cringe at the fact about button issues with NiteCore EA4/8 (mostly read about them on the EA4), but I went ahead and ordered one. I’ve own two EA4s and have had no problems so far.

Just posting this since I was kind of disappointed in the way buyincoins packaged my order. They basically sent me the item stripped of any retail packaging. It looks like I got everything except the cardboard box. I only got the light in semi-rigid molded plastic that usually comes inside the retail box, manuals, and accessories. I guess they stripped out any unnecessary packaging to slim down the parcel then apply bubble wrap and then plastic envelope. Everything works fine, so I’m not to disappointed as the price was pretty good ($62.42 with coupon codes).

I’m pretty certain if I order anything else from there that I would encounter the same package trimming if my items are bulky. The only thing I’ve ordered from them before was a knife sharpening system; and as I remember it was basically packaged the same way. No box, just the item wrapped in bubble wrap and then inserted inside a plastic envelope. So they will trim away any excess bulk from your items.

How is it compared to EA4, much brighter?

No, not that much brighter, but you can tell it’s definitely brighter when you have them both side by side. What I like about the EA8 is the lower low mode and the extra battery capacity.

Hmm, but it has almost 3x cd’s, that means it should throw much further, doesnt it :D?

Various WW emitters (All 80 CRI minimum) + springs and some free MCPCBs..

And this one..

What 3,59A to the emitter.... Someone did something... J)

Supfire M6 - Resistor mod

I got my supfirr m6 from redforest, posted yesterday, here today, I love royal mail lol.

My two boys instantly fell in love with it, didn’t manage to get any pictures as we had guests but James has decided its his lol.

I like how small it is but it needs nw/hi cri emitters, I’m probably going to go nw copper mounted xp-g2’s and either follow racer86’s resistor mod or grab a dr jones master and a couple of slaves, unless texaspyro wants to send a beta sample to the homeland lol

Hi Glenn

Where did you get this from? Thanks

Got it from Amazon

2 cheeseburgers, fries and extra spread from In n Out burger.
Yum! Oh and a diet coke to balance it out.

Got 12 Sanyo UR18650FM 2600 mAh cells in the mail today.
These will be used to power the Shocker, TN30 and TN31.
11 came with 3.79 or 3.80 volts, and one is a dud reading 0.00 volts and I can’t reset the protection circuit.
Opened a ticket and will see how things go.

My merit line light came today, already got a refund for this…
It’s okay build, nice tube, nice anodizement, nice regulated 5W driver. But hollow pill and no thermal paste, bad centered led and under driven(can be resistor modded).
All in all very good for the price I paid 0$. :bigsmile:

Why does the picture not show up? Has imageshack made some changes!

this picture?

Right click on the picture and copy the image URL, it shows you just copied the URL to the page and not to the picture.

ImageShack - IMAG0346-1.jpg is what you linked to

ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs is the image on that page

Weird, they changed something in their skypath app if I copy a link I always get the new link…and I can’t copy the links from the imageshack site with a mobile browser…damn improvements made everything worse…

I just got my latest shipment in from FastTech a couple of days ago. It took them five days to ship (including a weekend). My package shipped out on August 8, and I received it on August 12! Only four days in transit, that's a new record for me...

"Gillette" Razor blades: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1289102

3W LED bulb: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1396501

5W LED bulb: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1396306

7W LED bulb: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1396304

3W "E12" LED bulb: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1107900

Firstly, the E12 (US candelabra) base bulb, which is standard in ceiling fan fixtures, has been discontinued since I ordered. The bulb I receive is actually an E14 which doesn't help me. I've escalated that to Fasttech support; we'll see if they will give me store credit because of the incorrect description.

The remaining three bulbs are all very nice, far nicer than any of the budget bulbs I purchased and reported on previously. I ordered all three in the cool-white tint as they were intended to be for utility lights, but the 5W was accidentally shipped in the warm tint. All three of these are very nice, and put out a lot of light. They are ones I could actually use to replace incan/CFL bulbs for normal use. The warm tint is very nice without the greenish cast of the typical generic warm egg-yolk emitters in my other LED bulbs. I'm really happy with light from these; I'm just hoping they will have a long lifespan. The tubes enclosing the LED arrays are actually glass, so these will be fragile.

The razor blades appear to be a decent copy; I was able to locate a typo on the side of the package (I doubt Gillette would accidentally print their product name as "ProGlisw"). I shaved with one last night though, and got good results. I'll have to use these for a while to see how long they last compared to my usual Mach3 disposable blades. Compared here with a genuine ProGlide Power blade (mouse over for the genuine blade):
