I hope mine isn't lost! UPS missed the delivery date and said "In Transit" for the last 2 days.

Same for me. USPS is absolutely awful, this is a regular occurrence for me, seems to get worse and worse every year.
 
"There are approximately 10 pieces available for purchase. Please enter your emails here, buyers will be randomly selected and contacted over the weekend:

So has anyone been contacted yet? Hoping no news is good news..... today. That only "works" if no notices have been sent.... Fingers' crossed...
 
I can finally post again!

I delayed the drawing to see how many get delivered over the weekend, there were a bunch stuck in USPS limbo (the weather is wrecking logistics) but a few of those did get delivered over the weekend.

I'm going to draw 5 buyers today, and postpone the remainder until the bulk of the rest gets to their owners. I'm, considering shipping the rest via UPS, their tracking is a bit more reliable these days.
 
Re: The HDSRB Project - PREORDER LIVE

The first 5 winners have been contacted. The remainders will be drawn sometime midweek pending USPS deliveries.

Thanks everyone!
 
My first impression in hand was that I had received the right thing but the wrong size. They're (relatively-speaking) tiny! I didn't have an HDS nearby to adjust my size expectations. This was quickly rectified.

I grabbed 2 High CRI NB4 200 lm 18650 rotaries so I can compare side-by-side. The new hostspot reminded me of the Nichia McGizmo Mahi that I have, so I grabbed it off the shelf as well.

I'll attempt some side-by-side gray-wall beamshots.
 
I should say that I'm very happy with it so far during the daytime. Hopefully I'll make it out with the dogs tonight.

Also note: Lubrication of the O-ring really helps when screwing it all the way down.

[*] Beam shots are hard when you're alone with very little wall space available for taking them. I took these with my phone in one hand while holding both lights in the other roughly 6-8 feet from the wall.

Glad you got it safe and sound and thanks for the beamshots! A couple people asked me but I haven't had the chance so these are very helpful

Arrived today. Excellent work Ozy, I couldn’t imagine how difficult it’s been coordinating this project. The wait was so worth it.
I absolutely love it, thank you!
