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
I would do it like the Klarus G35 with very little locktite on the bezel
enough to prevent from getting it loose accidently, but not so much that you have to heat up the whole head to 200°C to get it loose
I modified a 2S SRK design with the measurements I took in my sample
I am very confident it will fit, but no gurantees
I’d rather my light be easier to get into, but I understand minimizing their risk by sealing it, however, BLFers don’t strike me as the type to intentionally sabatoge and ask for refunds. I’m happy either way if the price is right and the light is as-advertised.
Of course not, but many have accidentally dedomed the emitters on lights such as the DQG 7x xp-g2 which uses a similar design.
Many BLFers, and even regular folk, automatically assume flashlights can be taken apart without ruining them. Most of the time they are right, but certain lights are just too easy to damage.
It’s probably for the best if they use a little blue loctite on the bezel and/or a warning label on the lens to not unscrew the bezel. Even add a warning in the literature against it and that dedomed emitters won’t be covered under warranty.
That’s my opinion.
Hello
As pre-order is active, when are you going to release GB price?
This is crucial to know if it is worth to wait for GB…
What will be:
Group Buy Price: $XX.XX ( usual $109.95 )
??
I think after the Banggood Promotion (Sale Time 00:00-23:59, From July 31 to August 8.)!!
Price not decided yet. Really have tough time to speak with their in-charge as both of us are constantly on the move. 
Ok, not decided but… for sure lower?
Thanks
What a monster!
I am Interested.
Some of us will be buying this as a host so unsealed would be preferred.
Physical damage from reassembling the light should be easily visible in a picture that their warranty can request.
Can they use a “warning, warranty void if opened” piece of tape placed over the the joint?
Ugh… Thought price was already known because of post #217
Interested!
Bad news to seal it up, for botg maintenance and modding. Don't mind having to apply some force to open it, but not extreme sealing/gluing. It's a no-go for me if it's sealed up too tight using our typical methods.
Can’t BangGood offer an unglued version for BLF members only?
PM me the details please.
We need to count how many people prefer their light without glue.

Members who prefer not to seal the bezel.
- Tom E
- RollerBoySE
- Sledgestone
The easier solution for all parties, is to request manufacturer to apply only small amount of thread locker. Hopefully one can open with 3-4 pound of force?
I don’t want a glued bezel either!
For newcomers who have just landed on this thread, i presume you are aware of EF-01 pre-order status and price (see first post). I will not send out any more PM until coupon is ready.
If you want to be notified, please express you interest in this thread
Note
- No PM (private message), as it will be harder for me to track your request especially at the beginning of every high profile group buy.
- Avoid double post, or you may end up receiving multiple replies from me later. I don't like to spam people.
Since astrolux seems to be trying to get some feedback before selling this light I’m interested depending on the price. Thanks.
