Businesslights.com botched my order and shipped 830s instead, and they just arrived today. We'll see how well they can make it right.
I guess they figure the costs of shipping the other tubes back, combined with the chance of damage in transit, probably makes it not worth their while. I'll guess that their costs for a 25-pack of 830 tubes are less than the return shipping costs.A 25-pack of the correct bulbs arrived today. They never got back to me, nor requested the old bulbs back, just shipped me the right ones.
Maybe not as good as you might like but is it a good deal better than whatever is being used in the office right now?Unfortunatly, the CRI (or whatever it should be called) isn't as good as I would like.
General purpose lighting, but some utility capabilities would be nice. I'll be doing work at night and in attics and crawlspaces, so the ability to illuminate an area would be nice. Something I can keep in my small work bag for when I need it. I'm thinking of a pair of these.
I've been lurking at CPF for years now...
They banned uda so they can't be all bad. :diablo:
I don't post though. Some people there are scary.
Banning over there seems pretty arbitrary if you ask me. There are a few posters there who have crossed the lines multiple times, and yet they've never been banned. It seems once you're a benefactor you gain some sort of immunity from banning. Besides udaman, one of my friends was permanently banned over there, and he didn't do half the stuff some of the "benefactors" have done. I was even banned myself once for 3 days.They banned uda so they can't be all bad. :diablo:
Yep, I agree 100%. Udaman was banned mostly because he pissed off a few of the long-time members by challenging their long-held ( but not necessarily correct ) ideas. They called it trolling, just as they did when I received my 3-day ban. I've since learned not to get into a fight over there with certain people. Some people there are considered "gods", and you just can't challenge their ideas, however incorrect, without risking the consequences. Anyone remember Newbie? He was the absolute best contributor to knowledge over there, ever. He was more or less forced into "retirement" because he was independent, told it like it was based on his rigorous testing. This pissed off a few long-term advertisers, hence the banning masquerading as "retirement".Some of the regulars there make uda appear downright sane.
I've found that any site that requires support tends to have arbitrary moderation.Banning over there seems pretty arbitrary if you ask me.

What do you use to charge 18650 cells? Mine are taking over 5 hours in WF-139 charger due to the low 450mA output.
I bought a charger from dealextreme when I bought the 18650 batteries.
What? Has a moderator taken action? Am I losing it as in the Twilight Zone?
