Like it, too. Thank’s for your work.
Thanks for your excellent review!
I have received mine today (Nichia version), I see that the tail cap is not 100% closed the gap. I can still see a a little part of the o-ring. Is it normal? What about yours?
@lumenzilla - That only happens on my sample when the tube is reversed, in which case, the light will not turn on since the shorter end (head side) will not make contact with the mating surface to complete the electrical path.
However, in your case, it sounds to me like the brass ring within the tailcap isn’t fully tightened. If you’re reasonably competent with tools and have a needle nose or snap-ring plier, you can tighten it yourself. Otherwise I suggest you get in contact with the reseller re: warranty service. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
Tim
Interesting to see the grooves/fins are not coated. I would never have thought to check that out.
Thanks for the review.
Yeah, the copper felt different to the touch vs. their Timeback. I suppose it was to prevent patina from occuring on the outer surface thus it was only applied to that part. Dunno what the process entails but I suppose it was easier than dunking the whole piece in the coating since the innards of the Cu piece still needs to maintain electrical conductivity.
There's a BIG problem with Nichia 219B !
The 4000K version is pocketable evening sunlight and it's spoiling me for anything else 
can u review E11 too please?
Thank for your suggestion, I’ll see if your advice can solve the ‘problem’ 
Nice review. The detail photos help a lot. Love that quad MCPCB!
Nice review!
What are your thoughts about greasing the underside of the oring? That’s something I have never considered before, but it could make a huge difference in waterproofing!
Houston, we have a problem?
De-domed in process?

I love mine as well. Really love the driver.
Still waiting for the extended tube from BangGood.

Hi there -
I just got the nichia version, love it so far - except I cannot get it to go into turbo. It just flashes once, like a camera flash. I can back up or go forward from there through the settings, but it will not stay illuminated in turbo. I think it must be the battery - I have 2 "de" 18350's, same thing with either one. The battery check blinks 3 times, even when they are fresh out of the charger. I have no other batteries yet to try, so I don't know. I have 2 nitecore 18350's on the way, and 2 orbitron 18650's that haven't even shipped yet after a week for some reason also on the way (yes I got the extension tube as well). I hope someone sees this and has some insight regarding this issue, I hope it's not the light itself. Either way, I'll update this post when I have some more batteries to try, should be about 2 or 3 days.
PS I would go out and get some batteries if I could find any in a store, but no luck so far.
Protected?
This is a typical behavior of the action of the protection by high consumption.
Yeah, I just looked at the battery and it says "battery overcharge/discharge protection". Is there any way around it? Or do I just have to try other batteries?
update - 08-25 received 2x nitecore 18350's today, charged them and turbo works fine w/them, so it was the protection in the DE batteries.
Thanks for the heads up on the battery tubes not being reversible, I got the 18650 tube because I don’t have any 18350’s yet and I put the tube on backwards and the light wouldn’t come on.
