Group Buy: Wuben TO10R and TO46R (real 90+CRI triple XP-G3) - CLOSED!!

Zymurgy's First Law Of Evolving System Dynamics: Once You Open A Can Of Worms, The Only Way To Recan Them Is To Use A Larger Can.

I'm willing to wait.

But.

If they're re-tested and found to not be identical or in some way otherwise slightly flawed, does that not open yet another can of worms?

I'll be happy with excellence if perfection is unobtainable.

I will give my honest opinion: I don’t mind waiting for 2 or more weeks in order to be sure that these really are High CRI LEDs!
I got enough lights to play with until the TO46R + emitters arrive to my door, so I’m also willing to wait in order to be sure that the quality is the expected!

Once again, thanks =the= and maukka! And Wuben!

BTW, I hope all this process contributes to Wuben offer more lights with High CRI LEDs on their already well built lights! They will have a AA or AAA flashlight to be released in some months and I hope to have a High CRI LED on that :wink:

I don’t mind waiting to ensure everyone gets what they expect.

I don’t mind waiting either, best to take the time needed to get things done right

Yeah I also think we should get them tested :+1:

.
I also vote for testing.

Ordered and paid for
(1) T046R & (2) extra boards as described in PM.

Thank you for putting this together, the

WAIT…didn’t see comments about waiting…NO PROBLEM…good things come to those who wait…right??

Test and wait please………….so we know for sure that what we get is up to expectations.

iam in for TO46R…

Thanks. Added to the list. PM replied.

There are still a couple of TO46R and some TO10R left for latecomers (or in case anyone in the GB wants to reserve some extras) => PM me to secure your spot.

hi the are the lights shipping around May 21st or is that when the batch will be secured for testing?

We are doing our best to get a sample tested already before May 21st. Hoping the best.

Interested in group buy, PM sent :slight_smile:

PM replied. :slight_smile:

I’m assuming no LVP in the T046R, hence the included protected Wuben cell??

Anyone want to suggest an alternate cell that they know will fit? Is the Wuben cell a known and trusted rewrap?

I’ve tried out the Wuben LT35 and Wuben L50 flashlights which include a Wuben ABE2600 protected 2600mAh 18650 in the flashlight package.
My guess is the TO46R will also come with the same Wuben ABE2600 18650 (I’m not sure about the TO10R, what kind of battery will be included though).

From my previous tests of the Wuben ABE2600 (using MC3000, discharge @ 0.50A to 2.50v cut-off, I got 2600+ to 2700+ mAh capacity, so it seems to be pretty accurate). The protection circuit of the Wuben ABE2600 trips at around 6A (similar to the Liitokala protected NCR18650B that I also have).

(Now it’s unlike the Sofirn 18650 — I’ve also bought Sofirn flashlights with packaged 18650 from the AE store, there are 2 types of Sofirn 18650s bundled with their flashlights, I can’t seem to determine when they’ll send one or the other — I’ve gotten Sofirn 18650 that’s labeled “2800mAh” and is a protected 18650, and I’ve also gotten Sofirn 18650 that’s labeled “3000mAh” and is an unprotected 18650. (The Sofirn protected “2800mAh” 18650 also trips at around 6A current)

Doing capacity tests of those Sofirn “2800mAh” protected and “3000mAh” unprotected 18650 batteries, using the same procedure above, MC3000 discharge @ 0.50A to 2.50v cut-off; I’m only getting 2600+ to 2700+ mAh capacity — practically similar capacity as the Wuben “2600mAh” 18650s, which are at least labeled properly and correctly).

There’s LVP at 2.4V.

Hoping these start shipping tomorrow :slight_smile:

I’m pretty sure we’re still waiting to get a sample tested?

Last update:

Yes, I would definitely like the lights to be tested prior to being sent. I am concerned about the lack of updates regarding the testing especially since the expected May 21st ship date has arrived.
