ENEDED

freeme, are you still sending out coupons? I asked Tue, 07/10/2018 - 12:49 and still havenā€™t gotten a message.

Thanks.

I got mine today. Pretty happy with them. The one thing that I didnā€™t appreciate was the 2* xpg-3 had a little tint shift which I think is common for this led. Had my manker e14 with me for comparison which is left in all the pics

Received my AT40 more than a week ago and it was dead as the proverbial door nail. I have emailed Neal several times (most recent yesterday). I sent him the photos he asked for more than a week ago, and all I get in response is silence. BEWARE!! Iā€™ll wait a few more days, and then it will be time to open a dispute with PayPal. BEWARE!

Neal isnā€™t the fastest to reply to messages, but in my experience he will solve your issues.

Which one of your AT40ā€™s is the bigger one? The quad mule or the 2 x XPG-3? I thought they were the same size, but according to your photo one is bigger than the other.

Where can I get a clip like that (on your Manker E14) for my Manker E14?

The 4* nichia is 100mm long. The 2* xpg3 is 98mm long. The difference is in the bezels. Upon checking this I found an o-ring missing on one of the heads :frowning: The threads are also anodised so feel a little rough, no biggy but just saying.

The pocket clip on the e14 is a steel one that came as a spare with a used light I bought a couple years ago. It looks a lot like the ti mcgizmo clips that Lightknot was selling a short time ago but it looks like heā€™s sold out and I donā€™t know where you can get them now.

Got mine. Unfortunately DOA: Amutorch AT40

If I could get a code for the AT40 nichia?

Please and thank you!

With the sudden surge in demand, QC issue can arise from smaller manufacturers is inevitable. If you got a DOA, just contact customer service for full refund.

Ugh, jelly from all whoā€™ve received theirs. Mine is stuck at this: 2018-07-22 11:26 Origin Post is Preparing Shipment

I DO appreciate all your comments and pictures though!

Got mine today.

The good:
-Much better build quality than expected
-Decent output and lots of room for modding
-Nothing is glued (except for driver)
-The clip is extremely solid
-Aluminum pill does an good job, but this light is not ready for some FET action. Iā€™ll be keeping the stock driver.

The bad:
-Rear switch doesnā€™t have a spring but a brass plate that is very thin and rather large in diameter, so if youā€™re using batteries that are wrapped a bit more towards the center or have double wrapping it wonā€™t work. Maybe this is why many are reporting DOA units. Fortunately that can be fixed with a spring but youā€™ll have to take the light apart.
-Front oring needs to be thicker

For those who canā€™t remove the tail cap, itā€™s most likely the clip that is pressing against the body. Just take off the clip and youā€™re good.

Overall a very nice flashlight and great value for the money. Iā€™m modding mine soon and post the outcome here.

I wondered what was going on with my light last night. Turned out to be low voltage warning. Last night I checked the battery and it seemed to kick in the warning (on high mode) about 3.6v. Today at work I played with it again and the frequency of the dimming seems to have increased as the voltage gets lower. I donā€™t know if the light will shut off at some point and am reluctant to run the battery down to find out as it is unprotected and I have no multimeter or charger to check the battery voltage.

Low the voltage higher the frequency

Edit: when I was able to check battery voltage I kept running the light. Voltage got down to 2.7v with no shut down.

Interestingā€¦. thanks pinkpanda3310!! :+1:
Good video & good musicā€¦ā€¦ :beer:

Thanks for the disassembled view, can you easily get a photo of the pill / whatā€™s under the MCPCB.

HELP!
I just got my Amutorch AT40 Nichia from the mail and its DOA! It is Not workingā€¦ Can somebody tell me what can possibly be wrong with it? Iā€™ve searched the internet and it seems to have some problems and I just canā€™t get it to light upā€¦ :frowning: Thanks in advance!!!

It is DOA is always a very difficult question to answer. It helps enormously if you start by checking the obvious yourself first (like does the battery make contact on both sides)

As dojzz saidā€¦ check battery connections. Especially at the rear switch.
See the quoted post below for more info.

Yes, Iā€™ve checked and both positive and specially the negative on the tail do have contacts. Iā€™ve also checked to see if the battery is working and it is working.

Darnā€¦ was hoping that would be it. :frowning: ā€¦ Have you got voltage to the LEDā€™s?

Are all the ā€™extrasā€™ in the picture below supposed to be included in the box?
Mine only had 2 Oā€™rings & a switch coverā€¦ nothing else.

It arrived DOA also. :person_facepalming: . Oh wellā€¦. :wink:

I have not had a chance to check it out yet, besides the battery making proper contactā€¦. it is too. Hopefully today I can check it out further.
