cellguy:

This all should have been sorted out before payments started.

I know. My fault. :cry:
Please accept my sincere apologies. I trusted Wuben when they said they are ready to take payments. They trusted their supplier who promised to deliver. Things went south. Everyone suffers. Members are not happy, Wuben is not happy, I’m not happy for sure. :cry:

Both me and Wuben have already apologized for the unfortunate situation. Refunds are being issued for whoever wants to bail out. Not much more we can do instantly.

On the bright side, lots of action has been happening during the last week to make things good again - despite the (sudden) global lack of 90+CRI emitters. 4 am wake-ups to discuss with Wuben and their suppliers have been fruitful and I hope we can reach a solution that most members will be happy with. Even if it would be 4000K.

I do not feel like it is your fault at all. This one is on Wuben for not having its supply chain in order. Not a big deal either way, not like any of us are short on flashlights.

I agree with cellguy plus I don’t mind waiting.

I had to bail out as something told me 5000k wasn’t going to happen. That’s when I gave up and bought this SC600Fd Mk IV Plus 18650 XHP50 Floody 5000K High CRI Flashli

Sure it’s more money but it has the 5000k 93-95 high cri led I’m looking for. It rocks!

@ The :This is neither your fault nor Wubens.
Therefore I will not bail out but wait for a solution.

4000K Is good for me, depending on Led brand and characteristics.
Nichia 4000K would be great.

I appreciate the effort going into a GB like this, so I’ll hang on.

Cheers,
Nico

I’m patient too…

eXa · April 22, 2018, 10:14pm

Yeah, im not in a hurry either.
Also, i dont think anyone reasonable is blaming you the.

It’s Monday but I don’t have any news to tell. We have to wait at least until tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay. Please try to be patient.

TheAuditor · April 25, 2018, 3:22pm

Any news?

_the · April 25, 2018, 3:52pm

Still waiting for confirmation… …but I’ll take a risk and tell you something:

We are now back to following the original plan and working hard to purchase good CREE 5000K 90+CRI emitters, just like the ones maukka tested, but from EasyWhite tint bin 3E (tightest 5000K tint bin provided by CREE => better tint than previous samples).

Again: No promises! Will probably succeed, but don’t get angry if something unexpected still happens. :person_facepalming:

Thanks for your work and perseverance, along with Wuben!!
Having already paid, shall we do anything else or just wait for the shipping notice?

Again, thanks for your work on this!!!
