Ditto.

I’m guessing everyone who has been waiting will be getting the same if they haven’t already.

Same issue here (stonewash SST20). Just sent an e-mail to them.

Is there any pingback about resolving superbob47's problem?

you also have no lens ??

banggood manager told me the problem will be solved

Exactly; I ordered two SST20, a gray and a stonewash. Only the stonewash is without the lens (and I think there must be some sealing), otherwise both working.

I have to check the USB C-type charging as in work I have a USB C-C cable attached to my computer and neither charges, but I think w/ a normal wall adapter they will work, I will try it at home.

I have received both of my lights, grey xpl 3d, and I can report that the usb-c port is not recognized by my charger, or my xtar powerbank.

It will not charge on a c-to-c conection.

It will charge on a usb a-to-c connection.

I received my silver light with XPL 4000K today. I have a lens, a 18350 battery tube (+ the 18650 tube), a headband, a clip, and a lanyard. I do not have a charging port.

The stonewashed silver is different than anything else I own, sort of a hardy utilitarian look. It's growing on me. I really like the auxiliary LEDs.

My gray SST-20 4000K version shows "shipped".

Have you unscrewed this ring?

I have emailed them as well, will let you know what I hear back.

Doh! I hate it when that happens! Thank you Minocc. There is in fact a charging port under that ring. It was a real bugger to get it off the first time (rubber gloves time).

Hey finaaaaaaaly my Silver 4000K as Banggood put it “Shipped Out Successfully!” :beer:

mine shipped too :beer:

Mine says it was given to the airline in China on Jan 1…they claim it left China Jan 10…nothing since then

Mine has been to Dubai, Germany, Belgium, and just cleared customs in Cincinnati this morning. I may have it by the end of the day today.

Nice! I think our little group above got lucky. Not only Shipped but just as Chinese New Year starts too so we should receive in a week or so now. :star:

I wonder if shipping is faster during CNY because there’s less volume…
That would be super lucky.
On the other hand, if they’re waiting for the boat to fill up, and no one is shipping anything… Well shoot.

Thank you!

Meanwhile, I received an e-mail from BG to take a photo about the package (which is thrown away), etc. Hopefully they won't stick strictly to theirs customer service rules...

Tomorrow I will bring home my USB C-C cable to check via PD wall adapter (at work only tested C-C via computer, not worked).

Today I checked:

  • USB A-C (a good one) works via computer and wall adapter as well.
  • USB A-micro with micro-C adapter (a cheap cable with a good adapter) works.

I tried w/ KeepPower P1835C2 (protected, anode included 38.7 mm, anode excluded 38 mm long), I was able to switch on (playing tighten-loosen with tailcap and head), but too long, so the sealing can be seen, and feels way too bad to tighten more.

I received mine (gun grey 5000k XPL). It looks to be built well and with some minimal testing it appears to function as intended. No missing glass, all AUX LEDs and the main emitter light up. Modes and ramping work.

I will probably change the emitter… I chose this one because the sst20 version I wanted was “sold out” when I went to order. It isn’t bad, but I prefer an emitter that doesn’t have the yellowish corona and also one that has better red rendering. At the very least, I may apply some dcfix to the lens to even it out.

This light is bigger than expected, and has the weight to match. I think “meat tenderizer” is an apt description.
Note the visual similarities:


It probably would work in a pinch, but cleanup would be a nightmare.

I’m not sure if the version of Anduril is the same as my other lights, but it performs the same for the functions that are important to me. It looks like I can pull it apart and reflash it if desired.

The headband color scheme is unoffensive and it appears to be of decent quality.

I haven’t tried the clip or lanyard, but I don’t typically use those anyway.

Thanks for the feedback! Looking forward to receiving mine, but in the meantime glad to hear the feedback/impressions!

EDIT - Tracking on mine @ 17Track.net is stuck at “2020-1-5 Airline Departure” - ugh!
