Forgive me for making assumptions :bigsmile:
They didn’t seem to be that large of a manufacturer. I was wrong :_(

Have you considered that they just may not be interested in small batch custom work based on their unique design and resold for a higher profit by someone else? I bet the response is different if you contact them and just say you want to buy 50 of what they actually offer, rather than expecting them to jump to sell 50 done “your way.”

See how Nitecore, Fenix, or Maglite respond to the same request. Not all companies are set up, or interested, in changing how they produce the lights.

They’ve been uninterested in offering hosts or cheap bare pills. To me this says they just aren’t planning on making hosts or OEM orders for other people part of their business model.

I feel like maybe the email wasn’t getting to them. I gave him a known good email address, so I say wait before we pass judgement. I know there are often holidays too, that we’re not aware of. So if he still doesn’t get in contact with them after that, maybe then everyone can start getting mad. I have seen the wholesale prices for these lights, and the quantities needed for the price points, so I’m not optimistic that a modification of an existing design will yield a cheaper price than what we got with this group buy. But there’s no harm in asking, right?

To KKW,

"After 3 years developed, Yeguang Technology changed to use “Brinyte” brand, focus on hunting and diving powerful led flashlight, especially OEM and ODM customs service."


You see they are specialized in this. Same like Uniquefire. They will machine and do whatever you need. MOQ could be problem. 50 pcs is small order but smart thinking would be to accept this order cause just 1 worker can make this in less than one day on 1 CNC machine, and if they accept we have a base for future cooperation. I can for example order twice per year next 2-5 years.

With some companies I am dealing with there absolutely no issues with this service. It is in their best interest to earn some $.




Ahh - don't forget me? Post #68? Pretty please? Innocent

5A LGHG2, 4.6 NCR PF, Djozz fet driver, XPG2 S4 2B, everything bypassed.

Ok - pretty good...

Good info. I’m betting it’s either a high MOQ and 50 doesn’t cut it, or they don’t cannibalize their own designs if you don’t hear something by the end of next week.

Look KKW :

Familiar ? :)

On the off chance they might see this thread you could consider deleting “this company sucks” if you actually want to do business with them.

I will if they will respond. But after trying to contact them with same questions with 2 different emails several times during week or two with no response they really deserve that epithet.

Their B158 is really good. I did not said that their flashlight is bad :)

Edit: They responded on 04.01.2016.

That light is more different than the B158 than it is the same, the only component that could be considered possibly the same as the B158 is the battery tube. The lens, head, tailcap, and pill are all very different, even if functionality is similar. Are you just guessing they’re made by Brinyte, or do you know for sure that they are?

I do like the idea of the 70mm lens, but the price is outrageous if compared directly to the B158.

KKW,

You did not get the point of this. Point was that same light can be done on different way.

This is ebay link is very popular light redone. But even you did not recognized it. :)

And you have it at home :)

Yes it could be redone. It would be simpler to machine a plain tube than with the lobes and tapped holes added but still the same multi thread zoom, seals, and head threads. You might have more success presenting them with numbers for a group buy than saying hey, make this for me and you’ll sell enough to make money.

I don’t think I missed your point, but that we’re trying to focus on different points. (though misunderstanding is very possible in short text based communication)

Unless the “redone” light is made by Brinyte it’s a moot point, because that’s who you’re contacting (we all know how common similar looking lights from different manufacturers is). If it is done by Brinyte, perhaps more patience is required before you get a response, I bet around Christmas and New Years is a bad time to expect quick communication.

I’m still suspecting 50pcs isn’t enough to get them to change the design at all though, based on their reluctance to sell hosts as part of the group buy. Had they been willing to sell hosts at $20 each I would have bought 30 hosts instead of 20 lights and 20 bare pills. I try not to complain about it, because I realize I have to deal with their business model, not what I wish it was.

Had no probs with communication from Brinyte. And I’ve got two batches of lights from them. I ordered two B158’s as test samples, and they kindly put my own logo on the lights, even for just two.

Back onto the topic of modding, I’m still waiting for my pills from Gearbest. Delivery seems slow, even for one of these sorts of places. :frowning:

I’m waiting on mine too, and I ordered them just a few days after they went live.

Shipped on 6/12/15 according to the email. DX and Fasttech are normally about 14 days….

4.1-ish A on a Samsung 30Q fresh from charger (also djozz fet driver).

I made a video to show that measuring the way I do (voltage measurement over a 0.01 Ohm sense resistor) gives some variation, when the (fat solide copper) wires are pushed down well, it is between 4.1 and 4.2A:
