waiting for the mystery gifts to come in is more fun than waiting for my own packages... speaking of which:

Justin,
I received your light today and was really surprised you also chose to include 8 fully charged Tenergy ni-mh batteries in a nice little case as well. I use a Ti graphing calculator for school and the 4aaa's I have in there now are the same ni-mh's I have used for the past 6 years. I plan to swap that set for these and then use the other 4 in the light, which by the way has a fairly hefty/sturdy feel to it. My parents were really suprised and needed an easy-reach light. This one will fit that need just fine 🙂 I will try to post pics as soon as I can on my original post, however, I just got back from school and I don't know where that pesky camera cable is... (to everyone... get one that uses SD cards and save yourself the headache b/c SD can be read by almost anything these days... xD M+ can't be ...)

Happy Holidays & I'm glad you found use for it.
 
I was really hoping for a happy story today, I'm really depressed at the moment. I had an old Sam's Element Luxeon 3xAAA light that had a busted switch. I had an old switch laying around from somewhere else that I though I could swap. Turns out my DIY skills are on par with a kindergarten student. All I managed to do is create complete electrical isolation from the spring to the body of the light. Unfortunately it was a permanent method of installation too, so my end result is a dead light. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a light that was a Christmas present from my wife 2 years ago. I tend to take these things very personally.

Anyone got another happy tale of the awesomeness that this fantastic forum has bestowed upon them? I just need a moment of cheeryness.
 
Hang in there AardvarkSagus , if we learn from the mistakes we make they make us even better! I am sure you will be able to fix it:thumbsup: I have also been in your shoes and trust me, the best thing you can do for yourself is not get frustrated. Those soon to arive mystery gifts should give you a boost!:party:

Oh oh, i have a happy story for you!

So my Mini EDC MC-E came yesterday from Sabrewolf (i sent him a thank you PM....but i'll say it here too..........THANK YOU!!!:thanks🙂
It's really small, like 3 or 4 inches...and REALLY bright (like 300-350 lumens on high). Because it's so small i decided to EDC it to school today. During my very first class it preformed its first important task. My teacher turned of the lights and put a movie on...but i was trying to finish a paragraph (in german) for my EEE's (Entrance-Exit-Exam). So i whipped out the Mini EDC on low and used to read my paper without disturbing anyone else. Then i used it on high to flash my friends (and even a teacher), who were all amazed at how bright it was after they stopped seeing spots. :crackup:

Yay..thanks again...and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

PS:I''m gonna try to get a review up this weekend for anyone who's interested.
