#1) It is a "electronics kit" hence it only includes the electronics. Normally it would list the buckpucks but the 4-wire ones are out of stock. Also all of the parts can be bought individually in the store, its only 6 items to pick out.

#2) Feel free to take this opportunity to write a tutorial.

Also you mentioned you appreciated the "start here tutorials" but I think you missed this one http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...ead.php?t=2025 since it answers almost all of your questions in your first post.

Right you are....looked right at it, in fact still have it open in another tab, somehow managed to gloss right over the bit about the driver entirely. Which is funny, I seem to have a blindspot for drivers; earlier there was the Luxeon 3w v2 driver staring me right in the face and all I could see was the adjustable one...ah well, we all have to be newbies sooner or later.

I suppose I was just trying to be impatient, click "Kit", buy everything I need in one bag, solder a few quick joints and have done with, never bothering to learn the wattage or amperage or anything of the sort; and maybe someday the shop will cater to such neophytes that don't join the forum, just leave their money at the door and never send pictures, but as a hobbyist community I can respect it caters to the community first. Just a bit of a learning curve, don't mind me...I'll make a few notes in the eventuality you ever want to go that direction, but we all get there in the end, that's what matters.

Oright, is this a shop wherein "Out of stock" means "I intend to restock", or "Discontinued, move on to something else"? I suppose the Luxeon's aren't made anymore, but since "Out of stock" is one-tag-fits-all I worry that means no more buckpucks forever, and that can't be right!

PPS, if you wind up editing that part of the store anyway, it'd be nice to be able to Wishlist the Out Of Stock items too, at least the ones that will someday be restocked.

For the most part it means they will be restocked. Some items have been left for reference but generally speaking I remove a item if I plan to never offer it again.

Thanks for closing that n00b filtering thread; everything had been sad ad nauseum.
My thanks to all involved, especially those who were patient with me, but including those who flamed me passionately; I respect that you love your hobby. I love it too, I'm all up ons for DIY, we just disagree on methodology; now that I have a solid day to browse the forums I am coming to your collective point of view, that a few hours browsing teaches you everything you know. My n00b eyes are fading, which is a sort of pity, because it means I won't be able to see why I wanted to be able to "buy everything and figure out how to assemble it while it's in the mail"...I recall that it was a pressing desire yesterday, which is odd, since I have 11 months and 21 days to finish my project, and I don't have a lot of money to throw around on burned out LEDs...just n00b impatience I guess.
Still; if the links we all keep in our sigs get thrown at the n00bs at eye level, so much the better. There Is a reason we keep them in our sigs, no?
