Guys,
Some pending orders are being held up for Madmax Q3 upgrades. We were short of Madmax modules and this is being fullfilled by two CMs.
Good news: We have a new shipment of Madmax Modules. Also, if you consider this good news is that I changed the inductor and the new modules pump out more juice and quite a bit more I might add.
Bad news: This is really not a sane idea. The LED current with a good fresh set of Alkaline are now reaching 700-800mA of drive current from a set of 2 AA cells. This is insanely bright with a Q3 and is awesome. But, I cannot and will not sanction this as a continous duty flashlight at this time.
Of course that doesn't stop you from using it in any way you desire.
So, what I'd like to hear is suggestions or comments. I was hoping to re-open the store this friday, but, I still haven't shipped all the pending orders. For those of you who are still waiting. I appologize for this.
The gears are already in place to make another 300 converter boards in Canada with this new inductor. That plus the local build puts me in around 500 of the new hot Madmax.
I'm thinking of listing this as a new item and keep it separate on the store. This will differentiate it from the old one.
Well, OK, let the slurry start... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twak.gif
