Has anyone contacted you yet?
Not yet. I’ve also been checking my junk email folder, just to be sure nothing was was placed there.
Guess mine counts as extremely ‘uneven brightness’ - one bank always 100%, can’t be turned off at all (have to unscrew the tail or head).
By the way, Chinese holidays ended already? because I still don’t have any response from BG. And after that, it will be waiting for the light to be shipped back, then shipped again to me…
disappointing a little.
I can help you get a MF01 driver with Narsil UI
Thank you, I will consider it but currently I am waiting for BG.
Though I got a reply. They asked me to use Samsung 30Qs and retry…
… no comments.
Just so everyone is aware Banggood can not ship batteries to the US for some unknown amount of time due to a battery related fire at the Hong Kong airport. They are issuing refunds if you placed an order for batteries. Same with most batteries at Gearbest.
You are lucky. Mine:
Order Date: 2017-10-09 13:24:19
Shipped Date: 2017-10-09 19:58:02
When tracking:
Item status not found in the system.
That is to be expected from Banggood page. Mine still shows “not found” there. This is normal behaviour for Banggood. IME. Usually nothing ever shows there until I have actually received the item.
You have to take the tracking number from BG and paste it into e.g. E404 to get results.
In my case the tracking number from Banggood was a recognisable UK tracking number ending in “GB” which https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/ also recognised.
I think, if yours is also being sent from the EU warehouse, (which is in the UK), you might get results this way.
Could I have a code please? Thank you.
Thanks for that link.
Last thing that happened.

Location: Flyt Express’s sorting center, Hong Kong
Status: Item in transit
Im using Trackchecker mobile app but that didn’t find anything either.
Guess I have to wait for the slow boat before I receive my MF-01.
Hmm, I hope mine doesn’t turn out to be a “first wave” one, old stock or returned :cry:
I was surprised it isn’t coming straight from China.
Mine too Tom Tom. Does anyone know if there is a way to find out if yours is first wave or second wave? Is there a serial number difference?
There is no serial number soooooo…
Now… where can I get 30Q BT… all other place I trust are all flat tops…
I was looking for them as well and settled with flat tops from GearBest’s “China” warehouse. Those are available to ship for a decent deal. I couldn’t find button tops at any reasonable price.
Banggood got button top ones and now idk where else to order them…. I know with a small mod by remove those plastic rings can let the flashlight take flat top batteries. But I like to keep my stuff as they are from factory if nothing is broken…
ordered nichia version, hope new driver will solve all the problems
Any more info on the new led wiring? So we’re currently in the 2nd batch if I’m not mistaken? New led wiring will be the 3d batch then?
How difficult would it be for a noob like me to replace the driver, if I practice some soldering first? I’d like to get started on some electronics projects, and this looks really tempting. If it is too advanced, I would be happy to pay someone to do it.
Would these drivers be available loaded with the caps, resistors and chips? I’d be able to solder the wires, but have never worked with such small componnents.
Lexel could probably solder some led wires to the driver for you, then you’d route the wires through the center hole and solder the ends to the led board. There is easy access as seen in this picture.
I know the wiring is different, but it should still be 6 solder joints minimum. It would be easy for a novice, but if you’ve never done it before, practice a little first.
