Thanks.

Thanks.
I got mine today. Pretty happy with them. The one thing that I didnāt 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!! Iāll wait a few more days, and then it will be time to open a dispute with PayPal. BEWARE!
Neal isnāt the fastest to reply to messages, but in my experience he will solve your issues.
Which one of your AT40ās 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 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 heās sold out and I donāt know where you can get them now.
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 whoāve 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. Iāll be keeping the stock driver.
The bad:
-Rear switch doesnāt have a spring but a brass plate that is very thin and rather large in diameter, so if youāre using batteries that are wrapped a bit more towards the center or have double wrapping it wonāt work. Maybe this is why many are reporting DOA units. Fortunately that can be fixed with a spring but youāll have to take the light apart.
-Front oring needs to be thicker
For those who canāt remove the tail cap, itās most likely the clip that is pressing against the body. Just take off the clip and youāre good.
Overall a very nice flashlight and great value for the money. Iām 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 donāt 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¦
Thanks for the disassembled view, can you easily get a photo of the pill / whatās 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? Iāve searched the internet and it seems to have some problems and I just canāt get it to light upā¦ 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, Iāve checked and both positive and specially the negative on the tail do have contacts. Iāve also checked to see if the battery is working and it is working.
Darnā¦ was hoping that would be it. ā¦ Have you got voltage to the LEDās?
Are all the āextrasā in the picture below supposed to be included in the box?
Mine only had 2 Oārings & a switch coverā¦ nothing else.

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