Aiight,
I finished two USL's and they are drying overnight. Tomorrow I will pack them up and mail them out on Tuesday. One of them is rev11's order, but I forgot who the other one is for. Whatever, I'll check tomorrow and post again. Had enough for tonight.

So, rev11 and Trashman, your orders went out yesterday via USPS priority mail, as promised.
Everyone,
I didn't do any work last night as we were celebrating my father-in-laws birthday, but I did go to the post office after work, of course. Tonight I will probably end-to-end solder up the Eneloop sticks for the eneloop pack. Or I may do one or two USL's instead. I'll see what I feel like doing.

So, I've done a little work over the past two days, but not much. I've had to cover the evening shifts here at work, as well as conduct interviews during the days, so I let the USL work slide. Sorry. And I'm working through this weekend as well, but I'll start doing some USL work again tomorrow.

It actually made it to my door, yesterday, but I must have been asleep. because the mail carrier left a missed delivery slip. I picked it up, today, and just turned it on for the first time a couple of minutes ago. Everything is great! Was there supposed to be a guard pin, though, or is that just something we can easily fashion out of any piece of metal? I'd think that it should be something that will go in, but not come out, unless intended. (Edit: I just put a paper clip in there, and while it's not the tightest fit, it does prevent the light from turning on.)
So now, I just need the charger & power supply, which by Bill's last post, I had thought was already sent, but it's been 9 days, since that post, so, maybe not.
Thank JS, you've got a huge heart!

It's just a cotter pin. If it's not in your box somewhere any hardware store will have them for practically nothing.
Congrats.

Trashman,
OOPS! Sorry! I didn't include a bag of cotter pins because all the previous lights with guards had the switches reversed so that the locking pin would only serve to lock the light ON. In your case, however, the switch is installed in the RIGHT way, and so I should have included the bag of pins. But, I didn't out of habit.
However, I will mail you out a bag on Monday, in an envelope. Should get to you in 3 or 4 days.

So as I mentioned above, I worked over the weekend covering evening shifts, and have also had to do work stuff during the day as well, plus haven't been sleeping good. Add it all together and it equals no work on USL stuff. Well, I did do a little, but I don't have a light ready to mail out yet and I haven't finished the eneloop pack. In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that one of the nights I couldn't sleep I did play with my VoIP box for an hour or so, but I wasn't up for firing up the soldering iron.
Anyway . . . I will! Just can't say exactly when. Tomorrow I have to come in during the day again, as well as work the 4pm to midnight shift, but I think I'm OK for Thursday and I should have Friday and most of the weekend off.
Sorry for the lack of progress recently, everyone.

Just finished off tanasit's USL, and will mail out his order tomorrow after work, after the RTV has dried.

Any word from Bill? I've not yet received the charger and power supply. It sure looked, though, in one of his posts, as if it was already sent. I'm guessing that wasn't the case.

Trashman,
No word lately. He hasn't responded to my recent communications, in any case.
tanasit,
Your order did indeed go out yesterday via USPS priority mail ,as promised. I threw in an extra 62138 lamp from my own stock, as your order only had one in it, which is just not enough. It's easy to instaflash one of these if you forget and turn on hot off a charge.

SO123,
I never have. It could be done, but I would only put a PWM regulator in if I were to do it. One of Willie Hunt's, probably. He makes a seriously powerful LVR that handles like 25 amps, if I remember correctly.
Anyway, there really isn't any need, though, because a USL has such a short runtime, and if I somehow made it longer there would be serious heat issues to contend with. The USL is freaking bright at 13 volts, and it's freaking bright at 10 volts, so I've never bothered with a regulator.
I make a regulated TigerLight, however . . . and of course, my M6-R packs were/are regulated.
