Received my first order from FT. Enlan Bee, S&W & SRM Knives…Ganzo Multi-Tools. Packaged well, ordered on 2/26 dlvd 3/6 via USPS first class…that is 8 days to Texas!
Pretty cool that they have a picture of your package when it ships.
Love their website and the fact that it is easy to refine what you are looking for. Just look on the left hand side of their flashlight section and you can find whatever you want according to spec (All, Price Range, Listed (when), Peripheral Form, Peripheral Type, Compatible Models, Product Format, Battery Chemistry, Battery Feature, Battery Form Feature, Battery Type, Charger Style, Color, Compatible Brands, Cooling Device, Light Source Bin, Light Source Brand, Light Source Color, Mode Count, Mode Memory, Operating Voltage, Plug Type, Power Adapter Included, Tail Stand, Water Resistant, Water Proof, Wire Gauge, Brand) AWESOME!
No hesitation in giving them a 5 star rating.
FT goes above and beyond…I just hope they can keep it up.
My first order from FastTech is a Sky Ray King 3* Cree XM-L U2. I really hope this version is a
genuine Sky Ray with 2500LM and not a knockoff, im looking forward to its arrival.
I got the shipping confirmation 2/23/13 and my tracking app says it has left Hong Kong 3/5/13. New update on my tracking app today 3/8/13 Wohoo it has arrived my
country. I might have it on monday or tuesday
I received my TrustFire protected Flames 18650X8 from DX few days ago, and they have all been charged with my nitecore charger and are just eager to play I bought two sets of batterys for my
light so ive got power at all time.
It seems to be hard to find a good holster for this beauty because of the rare can shaped size, but
it looks like I have found a very cheap solution to that. I found this on ebay at only US $3.39
You can use this on youre belt, and strap it in. Easy access and adjustable for most of youre lights, exept youre huge ones
I will let you know how this fits when I get it.
The reviews are written with a nickname, no problem with that.
I think it’s the best way, because you can see what else reviews someone made.
I haven’t done many reviews because there is no edit function and I always make some mistakes…but they said that this function will be added sometime.
Also every mistake in description I found and reported, was made clear immediately.
The xtar 16340 are cheap but not so good as nitecore 16340. But I have no numbers in head, the nitecore seem to have the advertised capacity the xtar not. so I ordered just nitecore and they are nice.
Since you ask, can you supply info on LED life vs. junction temperature?
There seems to be a constant tradeoff between LED brightness and LED lifetime and the heat sinking and forced air cooling doesn’t seem practical for flashlights.
If your particular info is proprietary, can you supply links to generic technical data?
@DumBulb I think Jasmine works in customer support department (and she is doing a great job if I may say so) she does not manufacture the LEDs, that is a question for CREE or respected manufacturer...
Thanks for the reply. As I do not wish my nickname/username to appear in searches (I use a different nickname as this), I would like custom names for reviews.
I agree.
The problem is the LED makers don’t give out this info so easily and Jasmine is sort of an ‘insider.’ Maybe she has a line to an Applications Engineer and so this may be rare opportunity.
And on this forum she is speaking to an audience, not just to me, so her answer has more effect on more people.
She can always bow out. It’s one of those situations where she’d get praised for doing it and not condemned for not doing it.
Yeah, you guys seem pretty happy with this company. Good.
I would suggested bringing up the "LED lifetime vs. junction temp" as a separate topic here on BLF, as I imagine there are quite a few guys here that have the answers.
One way to bypass this for now would be to open two pages, one sorted by price ascending and the other in reverse. The you can see all of them. But FT better fix this or they’ll lose the intended audience for new products.
