Just came in, quite nice for the bux!

The driver’s got the rather annoying 5-modes but it looks like a regular 105C, so I’ll try shorting the last star to get rid of the blinkies. Else, I got plenty of other drivers I can stuff in there and use it as a rather nice host.

Lightbringer, what is the quality of the host and thread?

Aluminum reflector?

PS: glad to help U

I’d also like to know. I haven’t bought these for awhile as the last ones I received had very poor threads.

Waiting for a deal! LUMINTOP TD16 Cree XP-L-HI

Hmm, spoke too soon. It’s kinda going mental on me, randomly “strobing” on me like some intermittent contact. Will have to ddx it later.

Solid Al reflector, decent triangular threads, cap + battery tube + driver section + front bezel + trim-ring.

The host seems solid, but again, need to ddx the switch, driver, etc., to see what’s going mental.

This might be a return, because of the 3 I bought, 2 seem “complete” with lanyard and that plastic on the front lens, but this was missing the lanyard and the plastic. That kinda sucks. Wasn’t gonna p&m about it, but if there’s something going on with the light itself, well…

The driver is held in there with a retaining ring. Will have to see what’s the culprit, rule out one thing after another, etc.

As a host, it’s pretty nice.

The star isn’t glued in, thank B’Harni, but there’s no compound in there at all, just dry contact.

Even with the spacer / centering ring, it’s a pretty tight beam… when it works. :stuck_out_tongue:

No microscope, so can’t tell if it’s a good knockoff or real Cree. :smiley:

Hey, advice?

Does it pay to bitch’n’moan to GB about it? Not sure what they’d do. On Amazon, a seller would offer to just throw a few bux at me to make me go away, but not sure if I’d have to ship it back to GB or go jump through any other hoops.

Anyone ever grex to GB about a wonky light?

Nothing’s greased, but they seem like pretty decent threads, and lots of them.

Bugger, it’s definitely the switch.

Thanks for the update. The random strobing sounds like a bad earth. Could be the battery tube threads, driver not earthed or somewhere in the tailcap.

Def the switch.

Remove the tailcap, crowbar the (-) end of the cell to the tube, lights perfectly. Tailcap back on, flicker, etc.

Swap tailcaps from another F13 (bought 3), works perfectly.

Original tailcap back on, flicker, etc.

It’s the switch.

Ooh, could always test the bad tailcap with a good light. Should cinch it.

enesrap, Lopan - check PM

Thanks for the nice deal on the Convoy L2.

Fin17 thank you very much for your attention, and make the purchase!

You’re killing me here!! I so want that Jaxman E2 w/ Nichia 4000k, but I got enough tubelights to last me through the Zombie Apocalypse.

And the C8 w/ XP-L HI in a 3A tint… I just got a generic one from GB that’s close to that, and I’d kick myself if I got another.

Temptation, thy name is Fin17…
