Latest specs from Bangood, due in stock August 25.
It could use one more mode, the run times make it look like its going to thermally throttle at the third level pretty quickly. The mode levels seem weird so maybe these are still preproduction numbers.

What happened with this fantastic moonlight of less than 10 lumens?
If you look at the lumens for the Nichia one they screwed up as some values are lower others higher
Also why dont they fix the Sumsang spelling error?
I don’t know how good those specs are, it looks like someone was having a hard time reading somebody else’s handwriting.
The mode level progression for the nichia is really weird, it would be nice if there was another level squeezed in there around 2500 lumens. Moon might be tricky getting all the led’s to turn on across a production run, maybe they just said screw it.
If someone wanted to change out the driver board and do a fet plus setup, how hard would that be?
Is the driver cavity reasonably deep and is the driver retainer somewhat normal?
Are there many boards out there that have the right power connection layout to match the battery carrier?
Banggood has expressed their concern on unsealed light. They afraid emitters or optics can get damaged if owners try to dismantle the light themselves. What is your view?
I agree with them at multi-emitters light
The tir len can easily damage the led
And there is nothing much to mod on this light, it already reaches its limit, pushing it further will generate a lot of heat
