Alright alright alright!
Just ordered and even decided I couldn't wait so I went for the 3 day shipping. I was only expecting one or two responses by this morning, thanks for the advice. I hope William sees this thread and gets some satisfaction from what has obviously been diligent customer service.
I would ask him if he offers a CPF discount but you can't really beat $19.95, and since I wouldn't have known about him without CPF I guess that is the same thing as getting a discount.
That makes five LEDs (a small collection I know) so my collection is officially underway. Now I can start saving up for the Inretech minimag adapter and start working on a way to sneak it into the house without the wife noticing.
I'm sure that as soon as I turn it on though the jig will be up. (No honey, I think the minimag was always that bright, why do you ask?)
