Don’t know myself, but other BangGood link was for 5x3

5mm x 2mm disc will be too low. Need 5mm x 3mm Disc

OP is updated concerning the new mode order for black, red, blue and gray versions.

Same! only mine was delivered on Friday while I was away, and subsequently went missing (stolen I assume). What a rollercoaster, and I still have no lights. Worried that with it marked as delivered aliexpress will be less likely to refund.

Where I am USPS will mark things as delivered and not actually deliver it for another day or two sometimes. I guess it makes the driver look better on paper when they cant finish their route.

That happened to me once.

The tracking on my light since it had come to the States has been pretty whacky, managing to get to Wisconsin 4 hours BEFORE it left New York lol.

Got my magnets yesterday from guy on Ebay
25 for $7.50 shipped form NY, guy ships fast and they fit perfect and are strong.
I know they are not as cheap as banggood, but really, I will never use 100 of these so 25 is fine.

link again if someone is interested;

Later,

Received my light finally on Tuesday. They definitely went a bit overboard with gluing the head together as there was some on the knurling on the head and the threads, but not too, too bad.

The tint on mine is very nice, no greenishness to my eyes. I really love the pairing of this LED and optic, it throws surprisingly well for a light is size. The only improvement I can think of (other than better QC) would be a medium mode, but I’m glad they went with a useable low.

Hope there’s still a way to take the head apart.

I hope so too, but I’m glad (for once) that they went with glue because I had my non-glued head fall into parts more than once while trying to switch the light off. Much better would have been a hard stop for the bezel build into the design (a small ridge in the middle of the head instead of continuous threading), but some glue is an ok fix of the problem.

Where can i buy tritium vails for this light? and what size do I need?

1.5x6mm vials. I buy mine from mixglo.com - you can also get a small bottle of Norland 61 there.

Thanks for sharing shirnask. My light was only 2 euros so I might skip this mod to keep everything budget on this light :smiley:

I’m curious about your picture. Is your exposure cranked up? Or are they anywhere near that visible at night?

I bought a couple vials (from a random AliExpress vendor) last year and installed one in my raw BLF Edition C01S. But it’s soooo dim. I can hardly see it in a pitch black room.

I’m about to get a ReyLight LAN and am thinking about tricking it out with a bunch of trits. But if they’ll hardly be visible in a dark room, I’m not so sure I want to drop the $70 to do so.

I think the glue you use to fix them in place is pretty important.

yes, shirnask has some great trit pics, I wonder how he does it too:

what color did you choose?

green is the brightest

in this photo I took during the day, I was shining a UV light on the tiny 2mm long green trit, to make it show up

I can easily see tritiums on the nightstand when I wake up in the dark
my iPhone can see them too:

but I cannot see their glow during the day, unless I go into a pitch black room and hold them up to my face

I used a crystal clear UV cure glue, albeit not Norland.

Here’s what my camera sees (left) vs an adjusted pic of how it looks to me (right):

gchart. that’s about right unless your eyes are heavily adjusted like jon_slider mentions waking up at night. If the trit is a little more exposed it may be incrementally brighter too, some slots are pretty deep. the one’s i’ve poked into the rubber nub of clear clicky switch boots are just as visible as this green one when on a dark night stand.
