best for posting pics is to use the relative with option!
the browser adjusts the picture to the screen properly then ;)
I’ve ordered the same item, but I knowed I will get flashlight without extender, because in customer questions & answers is stated that they don’t have extension tube for this flashlight.
I dont see any problem here. And the led can be easily cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.
My best guess is that the description does not specify that the light CAN be driven by two batteries, but comes without an extension tube.
This can be concluded from the following text in the section “Customer Questions & Answers” (see below). In this case it’s not WYSIWYG.
Separate extension tube can be ordered from Simon (Convoy).
then they should take the LONG handle advertising picture off the item. Its false advertising, and the customer ask if tube can be bought separately.
btw, others sells Convoy L4 short barrel too, but cost less than $27.20.
@ Polygon, The driver should be an LD-34, which it looks like from your photo. Ignore the C-8 driver I linked above.
You are kidding, right? The light is clearly advertised as a 1/2 cell light, with pictures of the extension tube.
I have the L4. The driver and led looks the same as mine and it does run on 2x18650.
Gearbest customer service is really quite bad and slow at responding to tickets. Banggood’s customer service is by far a lot better! And dont settle with any of the options they give you… Just go for the paypal dispute!
If the fleck on the emitter isn’t too much of a problem, you could ask them to refund to paypal the amount it will cost to get the extension tube from convoy. Or just make a paypal claim!
Hi Martin,
Agree with you.
On point #3 fyi Paypal is now 180 days to lodge a claim. 
regarding the fleck…I noticed it before even putting in a battery, and not knowing what kind of substance or WHERE it’s at (on/inside dome), didn’t want to cause further damage to the LED by turning it on.
If it can indeed be cleansed with alcohol, then its a minor annoyance.
My beef is with the Gearbest advertising. I saw a L4 with a long handle, and went for it. The consumer’s question was whether the tube can be bought separately - without breaking up the package (my understanding anyway). The picture that advertised the item is blatant false advertising if the item actually DO NOT come with a LONG handle.
With Paypal refund, returning the item to China is out of the question because of return shipping cost.
Very disappointed with Gearbest, but then there are other sellers out there that I can buy from here on.
Think I’ll go on Facebook and Tweeter and pose the same question too.
To me yes! Just open the light and try to remove it! At-least try to use the light as it should not be too bothersome but even you can still dedome it.
They should have included the extension tube yes. For convoy lights better buying directly from simon at aliexpress. Here is the extension tube : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/18650-battery-extension-tube-for-Convoy-L4-flashlight/330416_32231337644.html
GearBest has lousy customer service and in my experience don’t even honor what they say they will do.
BangGood’s customer service has treated me very well and I feel very good about buying from them.
They have offered you a fair offer .as good or better than other chinese vendors just take it and get on with life .
gearbest has great deals and i’d take the money and spend it on batteries or 6 other lights they have at stupidly low low prices …saying “you’ll never ” is just crazy talk that only hurts you. IMHO you should expect to take a 7% loss on all purchases over the course of time . this is 40~50 to the positive .
take their offer
Open the bezel and wipe of that foreign matter. Dirt on LED is fairly common.
As mentioned, it looks like a real LD34. Centering ring and reflector look the same as Simon's website. Japanese writing inside the does not proof anything other than recycled paper.
As for the missing extender, please drop CSgearbest at PM and Gina will sort things out with you sooner than creating a dispute with Paypal. You can request for an extender at no cost, but they will ship it with free-shipping method (cheapest method to reduce their lost) unless you add $1.99 for tracking number.
Is the ‘43’ deadline for filing PayPal dispute? Didn’t PayPal extend filing deadline from xx days to 6 months?
Paypal extended the deadline to 180 days for the Netherlands. Don’t know if it is the same all over the world. Log in on your Paypal and read your terms or conditions.
its a deadline bo need to wait that long
i receive 98 %of my orders within 35 days after it is shipped.
then i start contacting the seller and he has a week to make a offer to make it good.
if not:paypal
but that is for not delivered things
if something is wrong and i open a ticket the shop has 2 weeks to give me a satisfying solution.
we are customers who sent them already our money! they owe us!
Still 45 days deadline for Uruguay.
I checked the listing - reading through all information there gives no reason to doubt that this light comes with extension tube.
Only place where its omitted is in package details, but given that its been advertised as 2x18650 light Id assume that it comes with tube as default setup!
Either they ship you the tube free of charge or you find out how much it costs elsewhere and claim partial refund through Paypal ;)!
Just looked up PayPal email:
Issues with this transaction?
You have 180 days from the date of the transaction to open a dispute in the Resolution Center.
What a relief! Tomorrow is 60 days for the BLF A6 order and hoping I would get the replacement head before the deadline.
