Hoping so, the last few days I've been doing a lot of reading and research on different companies. And since Im not doing it myself I went with tastyLED. Great customer service So far, he's answered every question I've had. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a T4 2100.
Congratulations!! You won't be disappointed. 2 of those in a 4x4 is absolute perfection.

Thank you! I'll have it in the mail tomorrow. If you're going to be running those lamps side by side I really would like to know how the T4 compares.

i use a drill/tap combo bit, doesn't work so good on blind holes mind. drill and tap in one stroke. just needs good lube
Just use a 5/64" or 7/64" titanium Nitrate bit from harbor freight $4/6pk & self tapping electronic M3x8-120mm electronic screws. Tapping is SO unnecessary.
 
I can see the advantages of the self tapping option, however for some like me, I just can't bring myself to it, just seems a bit raw and I'm sure there are others of the same ilk. For those who prefer to use screws the drill/tap combo has been a huge time saving, provided the HS is marked out so there aren't any blind holes.

Aluminum is softer than you think.
 
Aluminum is softer than you think.
The degree of softness has little bearing on the end result, Aluminium is a metal, not wood, and, for me personally it deserves a degree of respect not afforded by a self tapping screw. In the same way that some choose to grow by directly feeding roots bypassing the majesty of the soil some will also choose to cut and thrust without thought for the end receptacle.
