I am expecting a sand convoy s2+ with warm white xpl hi 7a. For $15 that is a steal

Good score!!


Let's see... my shiney new EDCL2-T made it finally... the E2E's arrived...the U2 is here... the AA MDC front end is here... the Pentagon PX2 arrived....
Nope, nothing (right now).

I think I'll let my wallet recover for a while.

I have no idea where to place a question like this, so I put it here.

I have ordered a host from SolarForce, but 24 days already its tracking number is marked as "Sender in preparing item for posting" by Hongkong post. I tried to get in touch with SolarForce via web page messaging, e-mail, via their Facebook page — not a single response. I am close to rise a PayPal payment revocation dispute.

Do you know any SolarForce contact that I am not aware of? I cannot understand the situation: is that SolarForce decided to take my money and just ignore me or is it Hongkong post failing to update a parcel status?

I have had that issue with Hong Kong Post before, and most stuff from China takes 8 weeks for me. I've never ordered from Solarforce, so I have no idea if it could be an issue on their end.

Right now I got a Jetbeam Jet-IIM, a Crelant V4A, a Nitecore EA45S and a Jetbeam BC20-GT (the last one is not for myself ;-)) on the way.

 

[Tachead]

A Zebralight SC600w MKIV HI. Also, not in the mail yet but, I ordered a couple of custom deep carry titanium clips made to my specifications for my SC64's.

Do you have a sphere to test the HI?

It was about 3 weeks when I ordered from SolarForce.

Doesn't China do some kinda new year thing where the country shuts down for the month of January or something?

i handed my trusty Olight S2R to an local red cross on a call this weekend, when we returned to base i realised that i seemed to have donated the light to him. (no hard feelings really, i am an active member in Red Cross voluntary SAR in my home town and they pay for all their gear) i contacted him on facebook so i can mail him the usb charger as well...

so now i have a replacement S2R in the mail because i cant imagine not having one in my belt at all times, and a M2R because it is new, and i dont have it.

i guess i caught the flashlight bug huh?

What specifically are you looking for test wise? I don't have a sphere but, I do have a high end data logging light meter and a lightbox setup.

Mainly just maximum lumen output, there are multiple reports from separate people that suggest H1 doesn't make 1400 lumens but a few others and I are waiting for more information before we draw a conclusion. Either way there is no doubt it's an excellent tool, just interesting to me.

I don't have my setup calibrated to do lumen measurements yet unfortunately(I should get on this). Yes, I have read those posts. My guess is that ZL made a mistake in their specs as all of the SC600 MKIV's list the same 1400 lumen spec for H1(both HD and HI models) yet high intensity emitters output about 15% less lumens at the same drive current. So, in order for them to be the same, ZL would have to be driving the HI model harder and I don't think that is the case. This makes sense because if you minus 15% off of 1400 lumens you get around 1200 lumens which is what most people seem to be measuring the MKIV HI at. I think I will email ZL and ask about this:thinking:.

Yes, either way it doesn't really matter much(to me anyway). The difference between 1200 and 1400 lumens in actual use is barely noticeable and amounts to about a 3% increase in perceived brightness. Not to mention the highest H1 mode quickly steps down due to heat anyway.

Thanks for your input :twothumbs!
