Jon's protection circuitry used to be 13A, last I seen for the GA cells - I bought as set of 4 of these way back. These newer style/look GA protected cells have been bumped up apparently. Jon @LionWholesale has one of the best PC designs around, and at a decent price - he even spec's the protection IC and FETs right there in the listing.
I agree with earlier posts that the throw is probably overrated. 1500 meters, 562.5 kcd - it's amazingly accurate, not 1510 meters, not 1492 meters, but 1500 meters exactly --- hhhmmmm.
As said earlier, this light is probably re-using one of TA's FET+resistor bank driver designs, so yes - NarsilM is the firmware, and yes - it should be possible to port Anduril to it. If I had time I would do it myself, but I just don't have much spare time lately.
FWIW I contacted Banggood via Live chat and Emma said NW will be available November 28th.Sounds a lot better than December 31st.
“As I could check the product is expceted to be restock till November 28, 2019.”….her grammatical error and all!
Hold on a second. She needs to investigate further! Maybe she is confused about Restocking the light VS. Restocking/getting the NW LED? Then again, the lights[6500K] are Not out of stock so maybe she is right.
“I have forwarded the request on urgent priority bases to our team and they will look into this and you will get the information within 48-72 hours. I request you to please wait for the given time period”.
“We are sure about it, but I have forwarded your concern for more clear informtion.”
I’m still waiting for the NW version, which should be available from the day after tomorrow (28th) if the latest information still stands - very interested in this light, but probably won’t be able to afford it until after xmas (and obviously only if they manage to get the 5000K SST70s by then).

Still waiting for members to get their CW and test it. From scrolling through the posts looks like some got shipped on 11/25,18 days ago. Maybe some before that!They should be arriving soon.
IF 12/31 is a true date for NW to be available, looks like the end of January would be when we receive it.For obvious reasons, I want as much winter time left to enjoy it.
I made a second measurement with 8 NCR18650GA and I got only a few Lumen less, 12.340 to 13.150 Lumen with this batteries. The difference to Samsung-30Q is only 350 Lumen…
Thanks… I do not have the talent to mod, but have always had a good eye for CD[Throw] and guessing lights measurements.
From those multiple city light polluted photos I could tell this light did not have any more intensity than my modded M2X [250Kcd],that is just what you measured. They advertised 1500m/~565Kcd. The light is Only 66% of that,255Kcd/1010m.
To me that is a great disappointment. NW numbers will be even less. P26A/VTC5A/VTC5D will make a little difference,but completely negligible by eye.
