Aliexpress is like ebay. Many stores under a common payment system. So you can buy a lot from a single store and it should ship together. If you buy from a lot of different stores, they will come from different locations and take different shipping times. Some stores are more reputable than others.
Last time I ordered about 6 items and every one of them require a signature, so a trip to the post office very time. Will try to avoid that this time.
Any idea if there’s room for a magnet in the tailcap?
Wonder if repeated removal from holder will make it lose its grip.
It would need to be as thin as possible to fit inside the tail cap. I think the magnet you’re talkin about is the ring style which mounts on the outside of the tailcap. If you don’t mind a magnet on the outside then there are several different sizes to choose from.
because I have “unlock it” several times without touching the battery/screwing, sometimes I see mild light flash, it’s maybe juste the board who fail… In fact I don”t know what it doesn’t work sometimes, and work the other, everything look fine
ok, so when I place a wire between the micro usb (exterior part is that the +?), and the aluminium body, the headlamp work, do you know where the electrical connection between the board, and the aluminium body should be? a bit of soldering will maybe the solution….
The only thing I can think of is unscrewing the driver retaining ring around the green button, look inside, then retighten. It is a reverse thread. Maybe this will make the driver get better contact.
If that doesn’t work I would have them replace it.
:)… Glad to hear you fixed it .
I was happy with my soup can size R2’s …But now you guys had to show off your new headlamps huh ?I found a big rubberized magnet that had a peel and stick …double stuck it to the flat end of the R2 ( it looks like it was made for it.)
At $6-$7 I bought a handful and use a couple not as a headlamp but rather as an area light .Got one stuck to the range hood over the stove and another buried in an amateurish paracord jumble . I’ve been on a little bit of a headlamp buying spree and am ever so grateful that you guys make me have to buy yet another Boruit. The fact it has no nasty low PWM and is moddable makes this light very attractive …
Finally got a couple ordered, thanks for all the info and modding tips.
Had been looking for stuff to add to the order because the last time I ordered there was all kinds of cool stuff at great prices.
Haven’t been on aliexpress for a while and since joining BLF I’ve really gotten spoiled by the great deals offered in the forums, so just the headlamps.
Finally pulled the trigger But noticed when I used a paypal option it charged me an extra buck. .I think it came to $11.90 instead of $10.88 . Whatever …I wanted the light and a silly added fee wasn’t going to slow me down .
I need extra cheap headlamps in case someone wants to “borrow it ”.
Thanks for the heads up on this headlamp
