delivered promptly from ‘God’s Country’ to Alabama.

What? I thought Alabama was God’s Country.

My space rock isn’t even really a country… it’s more like an extra-remote vacation home.

. You thought right… It surely is. :+1:
But after spending two summers, years ago; traveling around & exploring many of the more remote areas in the general vicinity of your “space rock”…. I can honestly say it is “God’s Country” too. Just a different slice than Alabama.

I loved it……

“Space rock”…. uh, do you happen to have one of those cool monolithic dome homes? That’s the closest thing to a space rock I can think of.

It’s a running “joke” about ToyKeeper being a celestial goddess or “minor deity” and living in space.

New user. Would love the J2 box.

“Space rock”…. uh, … ?

It’s an affectionate term for my moon, where I live.

The full address is listed in the “Location” field on my posts.

… down to the left where I’m pointing.

It may be a joke to you, mister, but I take my life very seriously.

Hrrrmph. Humans these days.

I’m putting together a post with details about the remaining stock. It just takes a while because I have to check a bunch of lights again, move things around to make coherent sets, etc.

About international shipping, it really heavily depends on where it’s going to. And I’m not sure how batteries would work; it may be necessary to ship without any batteries.

I didn’t even know Sofirn made lasers.

Thank you TK for the wonderful box of goodies that showed up on my door step today! Basically all brand new torches, worth every penny and then some!

The Waiting…
… Maybe if I order another box the first one will get here sooner…

I thought the Pony Express was pulling up this morning, but it was just a deer in the back yard.

amishbill · 2019-06-12T13:54:47.000Z

rofl….

Just thinking of buying another must have worked. Overnight my tracking went from Friday by 8pm to Wednesday (today) by 8pm.

Now to get batteries…

Oh, I see. And you just beam down in the transporter to mail those boxes! :sunglasses: Easy peasy.

My box landed. I’m impressed with most of them, but those god awful coronas and blue spill ruins one or two of them. I’m wondering about the C8f though. The tailcap had a spring bypass. Is that stock? Are you sure none of these has the “ tk touch “ on them?

The ‘spring bypasses’ are stock on the C8F & technically TK did “touch” them… I would have to assume.

But she did say none of them had “The TK Touch”.

Yeah, that’s an issue with pretty much any XP-G3 / XP-L2 light, and I’ve already sent a few messages about the issue. It’s the reason why BLF lights are still using older emitters, or switching to other LED brands.

aginthelaw:

Oddly enough, that’s stock. It was designed that way because of feedback from this forum.

aginthelaw · 2019-06-13T02:26:44.000Z

They do listen to us sometimes. On another note, I like the fact all the lights respond well to flat top batteries. I put my battery pack pulls in all of them and had no problems.

ToyKeeper · 2019-06-13T23:59:03.000Z

amishbill found an issue on the SP31 V2.0 lights, the tactical-style model which is almost identical to a Fenix. We’ve only tested two, but they both had the same issue — the tail switch sometimes gets stuck and doesn’t want to turn off. It clicks normally, but whatever part makes the electrical contact inside, it can get stuck until it’s clicked again a couple more times or until the light gets knocked against something. Sometimes it’ll even just fall into place on its own, after a short delay.

On the one I tested, sometimes it’ll work fine 50 times in a row, and sometimes it’ll fail twice in a row. Overall though, it seems to get stick about 1 out of every 25 times I turn the light off.

I’m guessing that it might help to put a bit of lube inside, since that’s a common thing for some types of switches. Not sure though.

aginthelaw · 2019-06-15T01:18:00.000Z

how much would 8 x 3000mah batteries be? They seem to be good performing unprotected button tops

I would like to add, I got the batteries from you with 4.07v on it. I took my allergy medicine to knock me out since I don’t sleep at night. I went to bed at midnight and woke up for work at 3:45 am. I realized before I went to bed I had the light on low. I woke up to the light still activated on my night stand. expecting to find a destroyed battery, it still tested at 4.07v

Lights arrived today!

I already accidentally strobed my SP36 on full power in my office.

That was not smart, lol!

Did it cause a panic among your co-workers??

By the way… I love your avatar.
