Arranging with supplier now for replacement.

I figured it has parasitic drain because of the UI (like the TK40's UI), found out info on CPF as well and did my own test with my DMM. It really do draw 0.033mA. Very small, according to straight calculation, it will last 7 years on standby with an Eneloop. So the driver and the connectivity is working, I think the switch is gone case. Btw, was talking about Fenix MC10 biggrin.gif

Can't participate in the D-Mini Ultra GB as well, would really love to, but my budget's blown for now..... But it's an SST-50 light.. darnĀ  yawn.gif

err....it seems MC10 looks like an alien among all their siblings.....the poor quality material, cheaper led used etc etc.....luckily you didn't pay for it laugh.gif

there's always a next group buy waiting for you in near future....

Hmm.. looks like I have never been in any GBs before.. Should try soon.. haha

you should do so because it's good for your wallet....for saving $$$$ tongue.gif

hey guys......looks like Bright Side V3 is approaching soon.....can we nominate someone to head up the V3? i nominate our Mr. President, pseudoblue ! thumbup.gif

this is just my suggestion on the new V3;

First post content :

1. List of all flashaholic here with their list of lights - so we know who to look for if there's any questions pertaining to that specific model [ not for show-off purpose ya ]
2. FAQ for some new comer reference, a link will do

Second post :

1. Gathering info - compilation on all previous and up coming gathering
2. Information / Announcement on all those new release light

Third Post :

1. Review section - lights review only by our members here

Forth post :

1. All the Group Buy Information - all previous GB and up coming GB - so it's easy for everyone to check and monitor it from here [ no need hassle to search the entire thread for the GB status/ update ]

any comments on this matter is most welcome. So the nominated TS should be preparing all these info by now so our V3 could be more properly organized

Very true... But I think we should continue with our original plan of diverting new and old members to MYCPF..

That place is still much more organized than LYN in my opinion smile.gif

What you mean by un-potted?

btw, have a good news to you, I had removed the scratches from the Qaurk 123 Ti, hehe, using the metal polish I told you (Autosol Metal Polish, about RM8 from hardware store), I can easily remove them in just few minutes. drool.gif

The preon also easily get scratches (why ah, I tot Titanium is very hard), I got some scratches already 1-2 hours in my pocket (with a pen). But it can be removed again, with the polish I use.

But the worse part is the clip, it scratch the body when I turn it, there are some marks that are too "deep" can be felt by the touch can not be removed cry:  . So I open the clip, to bend it a bit, so it won't touch the body any more.
*
Un-potted means not sealed. Where you can open the head and access the bare LED and/or reflector and/or driver. It's good in a way but bad in most ways. Eg. Dust get in easily, almost impossible to remove completely without tools.

Ti is hard but not like Diamond, Sapphire crystal or Type III anodizing. And not to mention, it's polished to mirror finish so it shows it's scratches easily.

I use Meguiar's metal polish exclusively cos it smells awesome and works great.

Dun need to ben it. just make the scratch the whole round so it looks like part of the light. Then dunnit to worry anymore. =D


QUOTE(damonlbs @ Dec 3 2009, 11:52 AM)
using hand to polish or a drill...? will it be better using polishing compound?
*
Use hand mostly. Drill only if you're trying to create a new surface. Best to use the least abrasive compound. Takes longer but saves you metal.


QUOTE(susuman @ Dec 3 2009, 12:05 PM)
Using hand, oh, mush use a soft cloth (dont use toilet paper or tissue paper, it will scratch even more), put some polishing compound (the Autosol Metal Polish), and polish it, can use a bit force but not too much, try to feel it.

Soft cloth I use is old T-shirt.

pikachu told me all Quark Ti has the scratch mark near the head/ the laser engraving of the serial number, this one can removed with above method in just few minutes.

so pikachu, should let the buyer of your Quark to use it, and the brand you bought in ACE is what liao, I forgot, that one maybe not suitable for Titanium??

Superman save the Ti, ooops Susuman actually.
*
Not all, just all the 123^2 that I've received. Others not like that. =(

Maybe we should start with the GBs in MYCPF? Create a link here and in your sig to point to there? Like what Zenith said, more organised there.

Eheh... you guys don't need a president tongue.gif What we need is better deals!! Interest Free Loan!! (not from loan-sharks) laugh.gif

We'll progress slowly and we have something already. But activities here should overflow to v3 (I think we still can go up to 300 pages?). Compilation of data and references can be posted at MYCPF (to generate traffic for reference and soon for discussions), and on V3 as well.

First post content :
1. List of all flashaholic here with their list of lights - so we know who to look for if there's any questions pertaining to that specific model [ not for show-off purpose ya ]
2. FAQ for some new comer reference, a link will do

I think there should be a re-post of this in MYCPF - List your lights. Those pictures, eye candies you guys posted here (your collection), if you can, put into photobucket, or another service. But please remember to spread the poison here as well. *If don't have a camera it's okay, just name it wink.gif

Second post :
1. Gathering info - compilation on all previous and up coming gathering
2. Information / Announcement on all those new release light

All gathering info and links after me has been posted in MYCPF - Events and Gatherings section. Upcoming Gathering info at KD Trail is also up, including the date and details.
*information of new lights and stuff will progress as time passes, don't think I will put a reference link for these. The poison must keep going tongue.gif

Third Post :
1. Review section - lights review only by our members here

We have a dedicated review section in MYCPF. What we can do is put the full review there and summary and pictures here.

Forth post :
1. All the Group Buy Information - all previous GB and up coming GB - so it's easy for everyone to check and monitor it from here [ no need hassle to search the entire thread for the GB status/ update ]
any comments on this matter is most welcome. So the nominated TS should be preparing all these info by now so our V3 could be more properly organized icon_rolleyes.gif

This part is tricky, it's hard to get responses of GB in MYCPF (don't know why), GB seems to be more effective here. lol. Point of references is still stronger here.

When v3 start, I'll re-post the references.

GATHERING UPDATE:
Tentative Date for our KD Trail Adventure: 9th January 2010, Saturday - 8.30PM
Why I chose this date? I'm not entirely sure but it seems like a proper date and hopefully all of us can make it wink.gif
Near the new year's weekend, some may not be around and probably be on holiday. And dates after that may seem a little busy as school's peak period starting up and it's also nearing CNY. However, the date is tentative and we can still move it.


Let's discuss and confirm your attendance! smile.gif So far we had successful gatherings and had met and made new friends, most importantly, checking out flashlights! This time we will have a mini adventure together, illuminating the jungle with the power of the Sun in the palm of our hands!! laugh.gif (yeah ok tongue.gif)

Map to KD Trail:

3) justin78
4) strinq - ET T20C2, M2XC4
5) old newspaper - D-Mini VX Ultra, Xeno G5, JB RRT-0
