What is that!!!???
That would be a Saleae 8-channel logic analyzer. A wonderful prototyping and debugging tool for microcontrollers and reverse engineering all kinds of electronic gadgets!
Received the Armytek Wizard Pro Wide, and Sunwayman C21C from Illumination Supply yesterday.
The Armytek Wizard Pro Wide has been discussed a lot, so I won't go into it much, except to say it could use two changes;
-Lower low moonlight.
-Recessed and easier to press button. (The button is VERY hard to press.)
Other than that, it's a very solid light. UI takes a bit of getting used to, but it's not too bad once you figure it out. I have a feeling I will be doing a catch & release with this headlamp... it was my fallback position, and I had hoped Zebralight would have their headlamps out already.
The Sunwayman C21C is the more interesting of the two lights. It's deceptively small for a 18650 flashlights. Not quite the size of the Zebralight SC600, but close.
The Good;
-Build quality is excellent, and finish is HAIII.
-Machining is good, and I can find no flaws anywhere.
-The Threads are square cut.
-Very interesting design with a lot of potential.
-Red LED is surprisingly bright.
The Bad;
-This light has - no mode memory if you switch between the white and red LEDs.
(The light will always start on Turbo/High when you switch from one LED to the other.)
-Accidental activation is too easy... button is not recessed, and easy to press. It stands out from the body of the flashlight and will turn on if pressed against a flat surface.
-Will not fit the protected panasonic 3400mAh batteries, such as from FastTech, Wallbuys, etc,. Keeppower batteries fit fine. (Next longest battery I have.)
-No Headlamp attachment/strap. This light is for all intents both a flashlight, and a red headlamp.
-No true Low modes, with either LED. 14 lumens of red is surprisingly bright! From the main xml2 LED, on lowest mode, I was also able to read a book from the ceiling bounce. Way way too bright to be considered a true low.
What I would absolutely love to see is Sunwayman develop this design somewhat more. Recess the button, maybe add a second button to control the secondary LED. Add mode memory, and most of all, add a headlamp strap & attachment.
In my eyes, these relatively minor changes would result in it being a must have light as opposed to a curio light.
The postman delivered a HobbyKing Solder station this morning.
Had to wait until 8:30 pm to play with it, got every thing out and placed just nice for an evening torturing playing modding and, bummer it’s D.O.A. :_(
With the high postage, especially both ways, it’s not going back, cheaper to buy another one, still I have raised a ticket and will see what they say.
Cheers David
Today I have received 4 sk68 clones from banggood.com.
I have purchased 4 colors, and all of them are different.
green and blue ones can tail stand, dark green and black ones can not,
dark green and black ones are also can not stand 90 degree on head also, lens is not aligned with bezel.
Bought mine in Feb of this year. It too was DOA. I messed around with it, took a hot air gun to see if it was a loose connect but realised it was the temp switch (dial). See if you can get your money back and buy something else. Not worth the aggravation. 2 hrs of my life I can't get back.
Two Crap FandyFire 14500s with free bonus battery holder from Wallbuys battery sale. Note inside said when they shipped they knew HK post was a potential problem and so they switched it to CP.
Ordered 9/4, website reported shipped no tracking on 9/9 late afternoon. Outside of envelope has 2 stickers; first dated 9/10 looks like shipping within China, 2nd dated 9/11 by China Post. In the middle of the battery shipping mess, an untracked package in transit for ~14 days seems pretty decent.
EDIT: cells received at 4.10v and 3.92v (yes, I know these have been reviewed as junk cells)
I will still be $26 out for the postage as they only had express shipping available, strange that they now have ordinery mail ($10) as an option |(
Cheers David
An Eagletac TX25C2, and yes…it’s awesome!
Got another Acer Aspire battery pack today. Pulled the cells in ten minutes with a little less mess than the first. 
Got a link? Is it the same guy? Thanks!
Got 4 eneloops courtesy of chibiM yesterday 
My uinfire sk68 came today from fasttech (3 modes)
Absolutely lovely beam near ring free zoom in/zoom out.
Prefectly creamy white.
Was going to give it away but the beam is so ring free and the white is so creamy that I’m keeping it. LOL! I’ll wait for the 1 mode to come and give away

EDIT: DROPBOX LINKS NOT WORKING AGAIN. WTF
I got an acid etched stomach |(
Today’s haul is: Mastech MS8268 meter and ‘helping hands’ from Amazon.
Dropbox page address is not same as the image URL. Here we go:
Pics or didn't happen! 
(Just kidding.. I'm really sorry to hear that!)
wrong
sorry, the last thing this forum needs is a picture of my lardy, acid burned stomach.
it damaged one of my dammed work t shirts too, vapours from a 55 gallon plastic drum, I didn’t even realise I’d leant over the opening till it started itching……while I was on the phone to a customer lol.
It’s taken a nice patch of skin off, looks like a scald blister, sure it’ll be fine in a few days, these things happen lol
Got my TR-3T6 from fasttech yesterday. Took it out last night and I was blown away by how bright the thing is for a ~$30 flashlight. It was outshining the high beams on my suburban. I’m thinking I’ll have to do some upgrades there before I buy more flashlights! Also got a few peanut lighters for friends, small keychain pill cases, voltage regulators, and a knockoff arduino mega.
if it came with the extension tube for three 18650 cells, get a dry driver in there from cnqg, you’ll be amazed at the difference 8)
Yeah, it came with the extension. That driver is very tempting… this is why I can’t post what I got on here!
Seriously though, no more blinky modes would be great. How much brighter is it? Will it finally hit the 3800 lumens claimed on the side of the light?
