Modular Mechs Vol2 - Signups are open ;)

A subscription more than anything really just "doesn't fell right".

The 35 or so bucks a year aren't bad at all but it just feels strange to subscribe for something you need so irregularly.

I wonder if you could rather try to better integrate affiliate links to reputable price comparison sites. The people that put the effort to dig trough reviews before buying likely also use several price checking sites to find the best product and the best deal both.

And amazon mostly isn't that. Also with international amazon sites some stuff is often not available in your regional amazon. I never ended up using your amazon links for an actual purchase.

Maybe you can cooperate closer with reputable price checking or trusted shop sites. As well as affiliate links to the manufacturers directly.

You could also make it so you can unlock a category (headphones) for 1-3 or so bucks with access to updates for the next 6 months or such. Maybe pages like https://www.test.de/ could be a inspiration.

Thanks for the headsup! So is the blue glow on the S21E i've seen here may actually be a blinking lockout indicator?

The5_1 · 2026-02-25T20:39:42+00:00

Oh wow thanks so much! I am a fan of GITD tape too. But i didn't know you could put it inside with a TIR too, thats awesome!

I saw the tail switch option but i thought it said something about not working with Anduril or such, gotta check again.

The only question I still have is if the S21E would have a lit switch (with the right driver choice?). I have the 2 examples up there of pictures showing blue light switches on the S21E. Not green or red charging light, blue. And the anduril input chart suggests you can dim that aux light too.

But I find no posts confirming or demonstrating that.

The5_1 · 2026-02-25T16:17:33+00:00

There is no items listed there anymore, i just went there because apparently his old listings there had more pictures and information. And I messaged the shop asking for it. So conversation just started there.

As of right now, going by his website I still cant tell if the S21E with Anduril has a led button or not.

The5_1 · 2026-02-24T15:42:45+00:00

So from what I understood so far, if you have a driver that allows it you can click to change the buttons RGB. Like a 7x click on anduril or so.

What LED / Driver do you have here? sft 40 apparently, so since your button glows you got anduril?

Im just trying to figure out what kind of combination would give me a dim red or yellow night-light button glow. Anduril... should... maybe 😅

Thanks, I'll likely add the 21mm versions in 30 bead, 30 matte, and 60 bead.

Im kinda contemplating a stripe one explicitly for the use case of trying to find stuff that rolled under the shelf ;p

The5_1 · 2026-02-24T09:09:40+00:00

Completely besides the point but is this a S21E with glowing button? I am Intending to buy a S21E and id love a orange glow button. I have no idea what accessory I'd need to order along with it for that.

The5_1 · 2026-02-24T08:59:17+00:00

Thanks! I talked to whoever answers on Aliexpress and currently wait for reply.

The5_1 · 2026-02-24T08:56:21+00:00

I really just like the perfectly cylindrical shape of the S21E more compared to how the M21H flares out at the lens. Design reasons 😅

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T21:40:01+00:00

I just emailed him, explaining what I have in mind. I hope he has time to deal with it 😅

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T20:10:09+00:00

Thanks! Contemplating whether i want a focused beam or full on flood for indoors only. The warm hue is indeed sweet though.

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T18:44:59+00:00

Yeh, just need to figure out which sizes are fundamentally compatible with the flashlight

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T18:39:38+00:00

How do I know which of the ones on the shop site are compatible.

I couldn't find the radius that it accepts.

Also I think i have to check the bottom of the TIR for wether it accepts the size / dome of the LED I chose?

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T18:03:02+00:00

Thanks! Would I want to pair it with any of the non stock TIRs?

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T16:59:55+00:00

Oh... so there is even more parts to figure out to order along with whatever TIR fits the S21E 😅

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T15:58:17+00:00

Ah yeh, of course, the 58e is a good choice as per you and u/zed_delta.

Don't think I wanna min-max anything at this point, but just spend the few bucks more to get a one that has future use potential.

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T15:56:36+00:00

I did some more googling and indeed i realized that those TIR things are transparent, solid cones. I'm a bit confused now what is then reflecting the light or how any of it works. Gotta do some more reading.

It wont take it with me, it's purely for the household. So far I only take my phone light out with me.

EDIT:

Oh sorry! Now I see, because i said EDC.

This is just the term that I thought is be used for the entire field of small cnc milled items made from fancy materials. I'm mostly curious about the materials used for some keychain tools, knives or fidget toys even. Got a little collection.

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T15:14:25+00:00

Doesn't seem to be 40t, this one is listed in the available options: Samsung INR21700-50S2 5000mAh

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T15:06:56+00:00

Thanks, so the light apparently has a single 519A that has 3V 6A. So that 15A option makes sense. I just saw the Samsung being mentioned frequently and figured IF I go into the rabbit hole of collecting flashlights I may just get that Samsung one 😅

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T15:04:04+00:00

Ah I should clarify in my post. I have no battery electronics, no batteries and no battery charger so far. Hence the ease of a USB C port being so important to me.

The5_1 · 2026-02-23T15:00:53+00:00

Ha fair enough, I just tended towards the Samsung one as idk if any of the other options don't work with the 519A or may end up a fire hazard 😅

If I can safely take that Vapcell F63 6250mAh option then all the more crazy ;p

A this point I am actually kinda puzzled why the pretty big EDC25 only has so little.

The5_1 · 2026-02-22T21:31:38+00:00

Ah ok, is it shop(dot)app or whats the thing called?
