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

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??

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.

Right!

I guess it’s time for a short status update…

Samples:
First lights are coming out of the factory and the samples will be shipped to me tomorrow morning. They should arrive here at the beginning of next week. Hope maukka is available to test them very soon after that.

I asked Wuben not to ship any lights before maukka verifies the samples => Current estimate for the shipping date is late next week.

Payments:
Wuben told me they have received roughly half of the payments. If you haven’t paid the lights you reserved, please do so before next Monday!

Remaining lights:
There are still some lights left: Anyone can still join the GB and existing participants can reserve more lights. “1st come, 1st served.” => PM me to make the reservation.

Thanks for the update =the= and we’ll be looking for those tests :wink:
I hope the rest of the process is going well :innocent:
