Astrolux/BLF Copper A01 BLF Edition CODE NOW PUBLIC. $20 Solid Copper AAA!!!

I’m in for 2 copper.
Stainless steel would be good as well.

Looks like I have to order a couple to a few of these after CNY. Mine has tried to walk away three times already...and it has been all girls because it is "so adorable"

Not sure if anyone else ran into this problem.

I received my A01 yesterday, popped an Eneloop into it and … nothing.

Tried another (freshly charged) Eneloop … nothing.

Peered into the tube to check the contacts, everything looked clean.

Then I remembered what had happened with my blue Convoy S2 short tube. There was an infinitisimally small amount of anodization that had crept over the edge, blocking contact.

So, I tried sanding the edge of the body tube down. 10 seconds worth of effort. Voilà! It worked!

Thought I’d pass this info along. 0:)

The copper version is a perfect candidate now that we know that we can use a 10440.Not sure if there is DTP underneath the emitter but this light has much modding potential in a copper version.

Stainless would be a nice addition to keep in stock form if they can handle all the different requests with colors etc.

Either way...if the SF-348 can do 2000 units this can do at least 1000 if not as much as the SF-348. It is most definitely worth the dough.

On the end of the tube.

How about a titanium version?

1dash1, thanks for the update on your light, the anodizing colors can be oversprayed….

I am on a business trip and will not be able to update this thread until Friday. Anyone posting, I should have the lid updated by then. Thanks for the patience with this…

I had the same issue with two Convoy S2+ hosts. Easy enough fix.

how likely is the color orange looking so far?

Put me up for 1 copper.

Try the old paper clip trick. Bend a paper clip around the AAA battery, clip the excess off, and fit it into the head of the flashlight. Tighten the head down with a reasonable amount of force (slightly more than simple “hand tight” force) to make contact.

If this doesn’t work the first time, take the ring out and put it back in a different position. Try this several times.

If the flashlight works, the problem isn’t short threads (as is usually the case when the spacer works).

Instead, there’s “gunk” somewhere on the plate that is blocking the contact with the battery tube when you tighten it. Not sure what the best way to clean it. Maybe you could try gluing some fine sandpaper to the end of a thick toothpick, then use it to sand the surface clean. Or maybe an emory board cut down to size might work. (Any cleaning solution would probably affect the foam cushion, so I wouldn’t try that.)

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

EDIT: Unless the battery tube has just been freshly sanded, be sure to clean the edge of the battery tube first, before proceeding. Use alcohol or detergent to clean the surface of any possible contaminant that may have come off the head plate.

Used the code to order a purple one. If like it enough will get in on group buy if there is time.

Thanks. Will try ASAP

Is it Nichia219C or 219B?

BG’s sale title says it is Nichia219B but detail listing is described as NICHIA 90 CRI NVSW219C-R9050-SW40 LED.

I’m confused which one is correct information.

The LED installed is a 219B. The listing is wrong on the descriptor of the 219C…

Very, if we can get the color right of course. It is the most popular on the list and my personal request before this thread even started. With the CNY approaching, the wait will seem longer for the samples as well…

I will ask, they have the timeback in titanium…

There will be time, just let me know… this will be after CNY and will be a stock item after the GB I hope…

Put me down for 1 copper please.

2 ORANGE for me please

1x copper thanks!
