Samsung 30Q flat-tops did not fit in mine without stretching the springs. I ended up going with three 15A button-top protected 30Q. Probably better for this light since the cells are in series.

why would u want use 18650 in this light? 21700 instead better.
Pretty sure they went off on a tangent, talking about the Acebeam K30 GT… it takes 3 18650’s.
Is it possible they talk about the Acebeam K30-GT in another thread.
It’s the BLF way, ideas get spawned and the conversation runs amok! Lol
meh, still not shipped
I gave up, and cancelled my order & got my paypal refunded. I think he is waiting for a shipment, but I don’t want to wait anymore.
i asked Neal when they are back in stock and he anserwed:
From post #415
Initial post #375 - December 12th.
.
All the same… Neal mute…
New PM sent to Neal.
It has been more than a month since Neal is in absolute radio silence despite visiting BLF regularly.
“the NI40 is not ship because of the shortage” can’t be used as an excuse anymore
Neal has the most hyped and rare LED on stock! LUMINUS SBT90.2 (less than 30 left!) -> will fit on a MT-G2 MCPCB to reflow https://www.nealsgadgets.com/products/luminus-sbt902-led?aff=3
From this moment become co-responsible to M4D M4X, as the organizer of this group buy and to receive the payment of a commission for each operation, of the fulfillment of the shipping of my NI40 (order #8378).
PM with evidences sent to M4D M4X.
i repeadedly pointed him to your mails and posts (and those of other people)
- thats all i can do (using a chinese messengerdo avoid VPN issues)
I have no clue nor explanation why he does not contact you - sorry
and I want to share the same. Make an order for Stalker NI40 SBT90.2 has not yet been sent. It’s been 5 days since I’ve been writing on Messenger and email and no response
I’m not in a hurry, but it’s a bad thing that I don’t get an answer
Keeping this thread active and awaiting updates on shipment of these.
I’m selling mine if anyone’s interested:
SOLD Selling my NI40 SBT90.2. I've shortened the rubber so it's easier to activate turbo. I'll also provide 2 copper rings for 21700 compatibility. There are some tiny marks where the body screws in to the head. These were already there when I received the light. There is also a small mark on the head which can be seen in the first pic. Have no idea how it got there since it's never been hit against anything. Note: you can see the orings due to the copper rings being in place. Seems like it …
I ordered one on Dec 12 and it just shipped. Hope I won't be disappointed, I originally cancelled my first order when I saw the FT03 with SBT90.2 since I couldn't decide between the two and then ordered again -.- I'm still unsure if I made the right decision... guess I'll find out once reviewers get their hands on the FT03.
Wondering if anyone can talk a bit about the driver, especially whether or not there's a reprogrammable microcontroller on it that could be reprogrammed with custom firmware?
I’m in the same boat. I really like my FT03 xhp50 and am waiting to see if I like this or the FT03 version of the sbt90 more.
The NI40 is a small thrower.
The FT03 is a medium size thrower.
So it’s less of a comparison and more of what size thrower do you want?
With the larger head the FT03 will throw further than the NI40. Just as the FT05 will out throw the FT03.
Regardless, they will both be awesome.
So it’s less of a comparison and more of what size thrower do you want?
I agree, if one is actually looking for a thrower as an actual tool to use - in which case there probably would be size and runtime constraints etc... whereas personally, I'm just looking for a cool light to add to my (admittedly small) collection. So for me it's mostly how enjoyable the light is for an enthusiast vs. how much it costs. And I just can't decide which light I find cooler, while acknowledging that they're technically not in the exact same category :D
(at which point of course you could say "well, why not get both then", but money is still a constraint for me unfortunately)
I sent my NI40 to be modded by a fine gentleman on here. Emailed me today and its finished. I will have it next week.
The reason for the mod was because of the crappy driver that steps down unnecessarily too soon[50C/122F].
I had him put in a FET driver. Modes 3%/50% /100%, Mode memory and most importantly with NO step down!
do you know if he used an off-the-shelf driver and if so, which one? Is the driver a standard size (if something like that exists)?
