Hi, I would like to purchase a AAA edition with satin polished body.

If you still accept U.S. post office money orders as payment, do I send payment to the address listed in the first post in the thread "V54 / Sky Lumen MUST READ & Agree Terms" ?

And insurance will be $ 1.95 ? [(39/100)*5]

Classy looking for sure- the engraving looks especially nice

I guess I can do that, I'll charge up my efest and let you know.

Well, interesting news. complete cigvn failure at 3 minutes and burned my finger at the head of the light with fresh Efest 350mAh cell. Time to send Vinh an e mail

Got your light back. LED leads desolder itself due too heat. Everything function great after I resodler though

Do you still want this EDition or go AAA?

Easy

Cut down the pocket clip short
GLue it on the light
Drill a hole on it for a small keyring

You can send it back or, if you think running an XPE2 will run a little longer you can swap it. Thanks Vinh!

You the man!
But I just read about one cigvn desoldering itself. Is there anyway to put a stepdown timer in one of these?
could you please tell me if you have another AAA size light that is a clicky switch releasing anytime soon?

 

[caddylover]

I don't think you will have the problem I had if you have Vinh make a AAA version for you. Mine is a li-Ion 10440, the standard AAA will run much cooler.

gave the cigvn a workout yesterday. the police came to assist me at the neighbors house when the alarm went off, and of course, being daytime, lunchtime, and very few police available, none of the guys that responded had a light. i had just pulled it out of the mailbox when the alarm sounded, and put the batteries in. i handed the light to the watch commander so they could look around, but they looked at me like i was nuts. until they turned the light on! after a premise check, the watch commander handed me the light and burned the shiznick out of me. the head was super hot but he didn't even notice because the body was barely warm. it cooled off fairly quickly, and i estimate the whole time it was on was barely 5 mins. some of these guys own wolf eyes and 4sevens lights, and they were thoroughly impressed.

i then had a few of them follow me to my house to check out my lights. i put the 10440 in the charger and it read 4.02v. not a large amount of juice used, and i don't even know if the battery had a full charge on it to begin with! i might have to pick up a couple more of these to sell locally :thumbsup:

AWESOME story! Thanks for sharing

 

[caddylover]

mine melted before the 3 minute mark, had to send it back to Vinh for repairs. Mine burned me too!

This is what I consider running the light unattended. A big no no.
