thanks for explaining that paypal costs extra, yes, that is how I paid
OMG I paid too much! LOL LOL LOL
(still less than an Angry Blue Fenix Low CRI with no pocket clip)
Ok, I will stop complaining, just give me the light now!
kudos to Sofirn, you guys did what Fenix could not do!
kudos to djozz, you had the patience to see it through!
applause for slowtechsteff, I though you were dreaming when you first came up with this idea
I leave the seller a message, select the PayPal option, then Confirm and Pay and am directed to PayPal page. I don’t complete the purchase on the PayPal page, but when I go back to Ali, my shopping cart is empty. No way to “wait” for price change, there is no item there to wait for.
Edit. They are not in my shopping cart anymore, but when I click on Orders, I see the order status as Awaiting Payment. So I guess now I wait.
Edit 2: After a while I refreshed the “Orders” page and price changed from 7.02 to 6.50. Clicked on “Pay Now”. PayPal was not an option, but when I clicked Cancel, a PayPal option was on the next popup. Ali charges $0.80 to use PayPal. So it was $6.50 + $0.80. Everything worked perfect. I had never done it this way before, so I was confused, but it all worked out. 
It’s not a “cheat code” or a coupon code, or anything. Sofirn need there to be an order on file, then someone on their end checks out the comment (no idea how rigorously), and manually adjusts your cart total. So you have to get far enough in the process that there’s an order for someone over there to look at, then they will adjust. You periodically “refresh” and eventually the new total will show up, but it depends on how busy things are at their end. I have an aliexpress account from previous activity, so I could close the page, sign into my acct, and bring up an order to see if it had been updated. Not entirely sure how it would work if you didn’t have an account. I assume that a browser refresh would do it. But you have to get far enough in the order process for it to be filed on their end. I went through and chose other pmt options, wire transfer, which just brings up a page of info on how you would do that. Then the order was in their system, and I could come back to it later and see if the price had been updated.
I went ahead an ordered with Paypal. Total for 2 of each tint was $27.04, so it was still a tiny bit cheaper than the original price. Overall I’m not too worried about an extra dollar or so.
Adjusted price in my cart is $6.93 per unit, not $6.50
OMG! you paid 9 cents less than I did! LOL,
poor me… (im laughing at myself, not at you)
Ordered “full” price as well. Full in quotes because I wasn’t expecting the full price would only be 50 cent more. I really don’t care for a few cents and am glad they handled this as well as they did.
I got messages that my order has shipped and the website shows it is awaiting payment.
What?
To late to sign up for this ? High CRI
No need to sign up, just buy it. It's on sale for the Chinese 11.11 sale date today.
Wondering if colored versions will be HIGH CRI ???
Yes.
Yes, 2000 lights with Yuji leds, half 3200K half 5600K, 1200 black, 500 red, 300 blue. That is the plan. Already 300x black is made, the rest will be later.
From the first page:
"2000 pieces, of which 1200 in black, 500 in red and 300 in blue, all colours half/half with 3200K/5600K"
no need to sign up… it will just cost you 52 cents extra
I used the link in post 1487
go buy it Now!
warning, I paid 80 cents extra, on top of the 52 cents, because I used paypal… oh woe is me! I paid too much!.. LOL!
Almost 15 for 2 black 5600k, not bad.
It has been an interest list to assure Sofirn there is demand for this light, and possibly to assist with the group buy. I don’t know if they are checking for usernames on the list before adjusting the price or not, but I do have you on the list.
The last update I saw on the potting seemed to indicate Sofirn still intended to include it, and the gooey potting in djozz’s test sample might just be slow curing.
At least the site let you use pay-pal. Iv’e tried everything. Changing web browsers,making sure address is correct including country but pay-pal option just won’t come up. What a mickey mouse website.
thank you, so these lights on order at Ali should be potted or would that be the group buy ones?.
thanks from London.
Here’s that link.
I can’t get the address pulldown menu for region (USA) to show anything, so can’t get orders to complete.
Maddening.
