[M4D deal updated] Lumintop EDC18 $39.95 (FW3A in a classic body)

May you please explain how to do it? Also share any tips and tricks if you have any.

just firmly press against a flat rubber and unscrew

Yes, that. This is a great little light. I’m definitely gonna carry this over the FW3A.

You just need a good picture of the FET to identify it. Lexel knows FETs really well and can identify them easily.

Here is one of Lexels pics of the stock FET. Best pic I can find.

The new FW3A FETs probably have different markings on them.

Can anyone comment on the size vs FW3A and Emisar D4 V2?

Here are a few pictures https://photos.app.goo.gl/FMRD8FrtgnYjqEnH7

Just curious, does the D4 accept protected cells? If so, do they work or just turn off in Turbo?

Nope, they don’t fit. I had a XHP50.2 in my A6 and I tested my protected NCR18650GA cells from Kaidomain, and on turbo it immediately tripped the protection circuit.

Thanks! I was hoping it would be or feel smaller than the D4 but they are about thr same it seems.

Pre-ordered mine on Sept 9th.
Still getting this message on 10/11….don’t remember it ever taking this long for the message to change before:
“2019-09-30 14:18
KOREA REPUBLIC OF, Acceptance -> Your item was accepted at 2:18 pm on September 30, 2019 in KOREA REPUBLIC OF.”

:frowning:

Hhmm. I ordered mine on Sep 7th, but also have the same 2019-09-30 Korean tracking record -- that's it. So it's been 11 days now with no updates for the both of us.

Unfortunately it's usually quicker but recently I had a similar problem with an order from Simon's Ali store - that order went thru China (...CN), and took 16 days for the next tracking update, from 2019-09-10 to 2019-09-26 arriving at a regional facility in NY. There seemed to be missed events in between, not logged in the USPS tracking.

From China to US is usually about 4 days for me, with shipping to delivery anywhere from 7-12 days. Could be an early holiday thing goin on.

Good to see that I’m not the only one without shipping updates. Just package was accepted with no movements so far.

Yeah, finally movement. It’s about time :smiley:

Same Korean updates here, but still in Korea.

I have the same status update.

Not bad at all!
Only two weeks to go from Korea to…. Korea.

And, to think I was so tickled that it wasn’t shipping from China with their typical slow-boat delivery…

Same Korea to Korea update here. 2 Weeks just to get logged in a different place in the same country. Come on now!

They strapped our packages onto the fastest snail and let him free to find his way to the other side of the facility.

XD

Track17 gave me a flight number, KE011. It looks like it arrived in Los Angeles a couple of hours ago. Maybe they waited until they had a box full or something before shipping. Anyway, if that flight is true it should be here in a few days. Tomorrow it might appear on USPS tracking. This is going to be a great light, can hardly wait.

You’re lucky. Track 17 shows mine on a flight to Singapore.
