I received notification my light “shipped out” . Which I believe has been packaged and is only ready to ship.
I did add “priority direct mail” and insurance FWIW.
Received my M3 today, haven’t had time to open it up but quite impressed so far for the price.
I like the UI much better than the S10. Love the low voltage warning and cut-off.
Thanks.
Received mine today. Built quality is nice. Also I like the UI. Mode Spacing could be better and the 5C tint is a bit too warm for my taste. Maybe I’ll get another one with cool white led.
Seems like the protected Nitecore 16340 is a bit too long. The spring makes a cracking sound. What battery are you using?
Glad my recommendation didn't disappoint you guys!

It will takes some time to get use and appreciate warmer tint. Olight 16430 (with protection) fits perfectly in my M3, and all my 16340 lights.

Hopefully mine will make it in before our trip to France next week. Was hoping to give one to my Father in law. I always bring him something when we visit.
I got mine yesterday in 5C. I love it, modes spacing is not perfect but that is a nit pik. I am using Efest IMR16350’s 700mah V2. I think I will order one more of these, really do like it.
received mine today, 5C. Very happy with this light. Comes in a nice box. No manual, at least not in English. Original post says it has 5 modes, I only count 4, plus 3 strobes. Anyone see 5? Nice UI. I did put a weak cell in mine and the switch lit up RED!
from Off: double click to instant turbo
triple click to strobe
there is a physical lockout; is there an electronic lockout?
For people who intend to get the full gift set. Please take note of this issue.

Just got shipping notification.

Fyi, measured output on the 5C version in post #35 on the review thread: http://budgetlightforum.com/comment/967795#comment-967795
Also got the pill/driver out w/detailed pics in post #36 there.
Great Light! I`m in for 5C. What is the best 16340 you recommend for this light ? I have Trustfire IMR.
8 days and still “will be with your carrier soon” ?! ?! Grrr

Olight 3.7v 650mAh RCR123A with built-in protection is my favorite.
You mean the package has reached your country but yet to deliver or it is pending to be shipped?
Got shipping notification over a week ago then no further progress.

Tested with a trustfire red imr, seems protection is built into this light.

Got mine today. Unfortunately The light beat the 16340 to my house. Nice looking light though.
Received two 5C, quite surprised by the aspect, finish is excellent.
Quite happy with it.
Just ordered my second one 5C today. I’m also little curious about M900 (18650) in 5C.

Out of curiosity, those of you that have yours, when did you order yours? I ordered mine the second week of June and haven’t heard anything.
I ordered mine June 23, I should find in my mailbox today
