Hello from the Netherlands

Great, I have enough of those :wink:

Just sign up for The FW3A a TLF BLF special, also eyeballing at the BLF Q8 if the price drops I might get one and it is not even useful for meā€¦ but it looks awesome :sunglasses:
Like I said before ā€œSomeone needs stop me!ā€

Banggood had the Q8 on sale 2 weeks ago (already the 2nd time since its introduction) for 42ā‚¬

If you register at M4DM4X you can get a discount code if its not on sale.

Thanks Yokiamy, ā‚¬42 sounds really nice, I am subscribed for price drops on Banggood, the thing is I want to wait and get BLF A6 delivered, I had slightly bad experience with Banggood couple years ago, with my first order ever there. I order mostly from Aliexpress (1100+ orders in last couple years), Aliexpress dispute system works good.

Welkom. For a newcomer you seem to have made impressively wise choices; most of us had to buy a good deal of cheap stuff before we became educated enough to choose the lights you have ordered. If you can accept the significantly reduced run-time, try the BLF A6 with an 18350 for greater pocket-ability, one of my favorites.

Hi, Thanks for your kind words, if I didnā€™t found this forum with this much knowledge I wouldnā€™t know what to buy. For the pocket-ability I ordered a Utorch UT01. The BLF A6 will be on my belt at work.

Thanks to Yokiamyā€™s advice I also ordered a BLF Q8 with nice discount code from M4DM4Xā€™s blog, I canā€™t thank them enough!

Soā€¦ in last 14 days I ordered,
BLF A6
Convoy C8 Clear
Utorch UT01
BLF Q8

I want a Convoy S2+ with XML HI when I see one with right price.

Now I am going to try to wait and not buy anything till these flashlights arrive (at least I hope to do so)

Good choice!

Before you know it, you become a tint snob and end up with 7 S2+ es in different tints (like me :stuck_out_tongue: )

Not to mention that they come in different anodized colors as well, still donā€™t have the tan :person_facepalming:

@Yokiamy, you know I already ordered 2x tan S2+ XPL HI but looking in to a Astrolux S1 18350 in red with 18650 tube for my wife now.

Cheapest Astrolux S1 18350 I could find is at Banggood with an 18650 tube it is even cheaper than a complete package here. and you cant even choose body color, or am I doing something wrong?

I am not even going to ask ā€œSome stop me pleaseā€ now, I am deep in to this :person_facepalming: already ordered 6 flashlights even before I get one in my handsā€¦
Oh and, I am also looking for an ON THE ROAD M3 for a right price :weary:

Spawn, it looks like you are completely right, (prices vary from time to time at BG and GB)

Well then I will wait till a coupon with good price comes around.

First flashlight arrived today, the Utorch UT01 :smiley: GB beat BG with shipment speed, the BLF A6 was my first ordered flashlight at BG and I ordered the Utorch 6 days later at GB. But it was free shipment vs registered shipment, I think that does matter.

Tomorrow, I will receive the BLF Q8 if it al goes okay, I canā€™t test it fully because I have around 12 18650 batteries but non of these are equal anymore (used separately) So I have to wait till I get the 30Q button tops.
I can test it shortly by measuring the batteries internal resistance and find 4 +/- equal batteries. We will see.

Played little bit with UT01 and it is really nice light, I donā€™t have 14500 batteries yet, I ordered some 50mm length ones.
With AA I could go in all modes and programming mode, switch works okay so no issues there. I am glad I ordered another one 2 days ago :smiley:

Nice work spawn, you know the Q8 will even run on one cell?
Its better to use more cells to protect the springs, they might sag/degrade under thƔt much current per spring

Yes I knew that indeed, watched to much reviews about it :smiley: on the other hand I have only flat tops so I might have to wait till the batteries arrives, donā€™t want to do solder blob mods on my batteries since they work good for the purpose I need them.

The post.nl has changed the delivery to Friday so one more day to wait.

Nice, another Dutchman, welkom!

Your route to here sounds familiar with the possible exception that you actually need your flashlights. Most of us here donā€™t :wink:

alles naar de kloote

sorry that is all the Dutch I know :+1:

Post.nl decided to deliver today after all, I am at work and canā€™t wait till I get home to test the Q8 :smiley:

Hallo BahhZ :slight_smile: True, but I only needed one light, after visiting here I ended up ordering 12 flashlights in couple weeks, this forum is not good for my walletā€¦

To complete the list:
BLF A6
Convoy C8 Clear
BLF Q8
Astrolux S1 XPL Red
2x Utorch UT01
2x Convoy S2+ CREE XPL HI desert Tan with short tubes
2x ON THE ROAD M3
Convoy S9 CREE XML2
Convoy S2+ XML2 U2 1B Gray
and sign up for The FW3A a TLF BLF

I have no idea why I need 2 of some of those lights, the price was right and I have a 21 year old son, he likes flashlights too, so he will be happy to get some.
I will take a photo when all these lights are delivered, it will be a pile of flashlights.

I sure donā€™t hope so!

Welkom

Yes, and everytime there are other nice and better lights!
I bought a jaxman E2L host and an triple Nichia 219c MCPCB from jaxman, and ive only just finished my last mod :sunglasses:

Read several reviews, and its a high quality host, slightly shorter then an S2+ but with integrated shelf (so no pill needed) good heat transfer and a nice stainless steel bezel :wink:

And everytime i think, couldnt ive just better buy the Emisar D4 ?
It will probably come, some day

Donā€™t temp me man! :smiley: It does look nice tbh, but I have enough to play with for next couple months.

Just ordered my third S2+, with warmer color LED form ā˜¢ [Bilakos10 Premium Deals] ā— Astrolux FT03 SST-40 ā— Astrolux A01 UV ā— Seeknite X6S ā— JCD 8898 Hot Air Station ā— SQ-D60 - #1586 by bilakos10 the code is not correct, put one s less and it works, it was only ā‚¬12,50 with Post.nl registered shipment. I just could not ressist.

Also I got the Q8 in my hands and tested with flat tops, I have no idea if all batteries touched the plus side but I could test it for now. I will wait for the button tops so I can test it fully.
All I can say is: WOW what a light!

Nice deal on the S2+, but for now i have enough (7)

Yes, the Q8 is fantastic, glad you like it.

Still doubting for the D4, but for now ive spent enough, maybe in a month or 2 or so.
