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

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!

Add a second copper one for me, please.

Sign me up for 1 copper and 1 orange aluminium. Thanks!

one blue, one orange please

Any updates on the copper?

Nope, as stated, we are waiting until after the Chinese New Year to find out for sure. The X5 seems popular and they made that in solid copper, so the capabilities are covered… Just have to make it worth their while on the # ordered…

I would like
1 Copper

I will take it no matter what you do about the keyring.
Just my opinions:
I would like the light to tailstand
I plan to grind off the keyring loop. I do not prefer a square ring hole either, it makes the light hang cockeyed. I dont plan to keychain carry, Im buying it as a nightlight, bedstand duty.

The tailstand is a compromise, the problem being that most will have it on a keyring or lanyard attached to something. Lord knows, in my pockets I tie everything smaller than my wallet together, or it will migrate out of there. Like a bucket of crabs, things stuck together seem to stay where I put them… Still havent figured out the coins…

Tailstanding stability is a compromise with attachment points. The three point system on Fenix lights works well for tailstanding, but cants the light at an angle (cockeyed) when it is on a keychain or lanyard. The KD buckle can tailstand, but is tipsy in two directions. A wider tail attachment point makes it hard to find a decent sized Split Ring to fit… The best solution I have is a good attachment point and then drill a wooden block for something like what you want, good tailstanding ability. So that is why I picked a good attachment point.

On the copper light, the keyring will be very removable, copper is soft. You should be able to do this easily. The loop is supposed to be a D shape to it, curved like the back of the light currently is. My rendering skills suck and the KD Buckle has a square loop, but that was just to show a larger loop hole.
