Three packages today, Fasttech (lots o DIY parts), Tmart (HD2010, MXDL, and a really well made AAA mini-thrower host), and eBay (silicone wire).
Fasttech:
Tmart, my HD2010 is finally here; nice colour, a good thrower . Seriously, I measured over 6A to the emitter! Now I’m wondering if the Fandyfire one might be slightly better quality though…
eBay: Fairly cheap silicone wire; fast shipper, ordered Jan 8, 10 days! $8 for eight meters 20ga.
The AAA host is surprisingly well made:
Runs on 2AAA or 10440 (1AAA is not very bright)
Good O-Rings everywhere they should be, decent threads, nice machining and ano.
The driver is OK, but the LED has to go.
It’s a hollow pill, but no biggie since there’ will not be much heat. I just stripped off the emitter, flipped over the star and Fujik’d my XP-G star right on there.
Draws about 1A on 2AAA, 1.2A on 10440. This little thing throws surprisingly well. I can see over 100 yards, not super bright, but I can see.
For $5 it was fun to turn it into something a little useful.
Today my last Christmas order arrived. Things I don’t need, but were to cheap for not buying.
Sk75, very ugly, very dim, but kind of unique style.
A ZY t13, not very bright…under driven…will mod later. What for are these rubber rings?
And a solar battery/charger. Look at the big gift box, but sadly nobody thought of polstering the solar panel, dumb now there is a scratch on it. Underneath in the big space of the Box there is just a short USB cable and some adapters…really dumb.
I got two orders from fasttech ordered with 20 days delay…lol
Fake mustaches, 7135, some resistors(for resistor mod), nanjg105c and some windproof matches
Those windproof matches are awesome... I ordered four more packs after getting the first one and I've already given most of those away. Very nice add-on order item!
I got two xm-l2 nw’s, two 3.04a drivers, ten 380ma 7135’s and two replacement 4a drivers, hope these work as I’m hoping to hook one up to one of the xm-l2’s in a c8 upgrade which should make on hell of a nice light. 8)
Dale, I hope my comment wasn't offensive in any way. I'm just an old hippie re-living my old Cheech and Chong inspired days.. I had a really bad day today and I'm pretty toasted right now. I'll probably regret it in the morning......
