look sexy 
To much inconsistency in these lights to be able to recommend them.
All I know is both of mine work great, both stock and modded. I have a 1st batch S41 and then this latest S41S.
Able to share your feedback?
Sure, i have 2 also
Tailcap and tube with different knurling
One tube fits snug to the copper heatsink, the other sits about a half a mm off (same with the tailcap too)
the revised design the optics are to far away from the LED resulting in a strange beam pattern
Other than that it is consistent lol.
Mateminco is mankerlightchina at Taobao.com :person_facepalming:
The plot thickens :smiling_imp:
Yeah…
Matemankerlux…?
From Elfeland factory a.k.a. UltraFire…?
Who knows, right? :confounded:
They could have request to rename after separation. #awkward
How long until Amazon has a Mateminco store?
I got my S41s in the mail today. Same source as those above. Very nice light, however now that I have one I need to familiarize myself with the documented issues. I can only use it in the bottom two modes or it shuts down at 36 sec and won’t start back up until after a little wait :person_facepalming:
I have the nichia version but the CRI is low and very close to the XM-L2 3D tint… Very far from the A01 Astrolux.
Is XGP2 or XPG3 better as far as brightness / tint go?
Tint = 219
Brightness = XP-G3
The XP-G2 is the lame duck in this race.
Thanks, a few have said that the 219 tint isn’t that nice, might get the XPG3
Thats what I did, plus it is a bit cheaper. I would rather get the G3 version and enjoy the brightness and then swap to some LED’s of my choice later.
I have a mixed tint XP-G2 S41 that is great and a 219C 90+ CRI that is also great.
i just got mine as well and the tint is close to XP-L HI V3 3D. I mean it’s still neutral white…
Sounds like everyone is happy with the XPG3 brightness and tint…ordering
Uh… brightness is fine, but tint is IMHO… ugly! It´s a very cold, “harsh” white, it hurts my eyes after looking at the nice 5000 K neutral light from the S41 Nichia ….
