I’ll just echo I also really like the size and performance. It beats my FT03 (xhp50) on every level. It would be perfect with a better driver, usb-c charging and e-switch but it’s not bad as is. I will probably do the driver swap mentioned earlier on here just to give it a try. I also have the k30gt and this ni40 matches the performance (I’ll have to run them longer to see driver differences).
Interested in one. Filled out the form.
Neal was sold out of the Osram and the 90.2 so I purchased the XHP50.2. I already own the NSX3 model NS53A which I love and use as my EDC. I also want the NA40GT. The 26980 battery makes the 18650 look like a AA cell next to it.
Any word on when the 90.2 version will be back in stock?
And is this the farthest throwing c8 size light available?
It's bigger than a C8 - C8's have a 45 mm head diam, this one is 53 mm. It's a step up for sure, a lot more finning and mass than a C8.
Would you call it a c8+ size?
Nope, not close. There's C8 size, and C8 style - I don't think this is either. The D1S has a 50 mm head diam, so falls in between this and a C8.
A 42 mm to 48 mm head diam could be considered in the C8 class.
Appreciate the info!

I sent a PM to Neal requesting to check it.
I hope he will check it and solve the problem shortly.
I’m still waiting on the one I ordered on the 31st of January to mail out. I even paid for the 5 to 8 day shipping. I’m being patient because I really want the NI40.
I’ve learned to never pay the extra for express shipping from China. It seems to make absolutely no difference in my experiences.
Any word if or when these will be back in stock?

I ordered mine on October 20th.
It was available for immediate shipping, it was 1 of 20, as the group buy organizer told me by email.
Neal charged me $6 for shipping.
Despite everything, it was just shipped on January 16.
It is still circling inside China.
Last info, January 31, it was on way back to the sender.
The sow has given birth and the piglets are running.
