LOL, I have no idea. You could try sending the seller a message, although I would not hold my breath that they even know what you are talking about and/or could answer it if they wanted to.
I know it will be a working light or aliexpress will refund me so I figure for that price it is worth the risk. But thats just me.
Yeah, how do we know that BangGood didnāt dump the rest of their stock of dodgy lights upon this poor unsuspecting soul, who is now reselling them on AliExpress? Or it could be BangGood themselves selling via an undercover name.
The listing that oleg007 provided above clearly states the following: āThis is the new version with the new head could be opened and without blue light issue.ā
I would guess that this would be the new version, not glued, and non-compressing opticsā¦ā¦ Just a guess though. :innocent:
Could be legit then, the Nichia version is USD 36:73 though (which is less than the USD 50:- BangGood currently charges, the Colored Nichia version is āonlyā USD 42:- from BangGood though; itās a strange world we live in).
Itās strange indeedā¦
Youād think the aluminum S41 would be cheaper, and even then $26 would be a bargainā¦
So should i buy another S41S?
If itās a dud i just open a dispute and get my money back, right?
In the Dutch version of the page it clearly states itās the ānew version without the blue light problemsā. I ordered one anyway. Donāt believe in this āBG might have dumped ā¦ā complot theories. Just send it back if itās no good. Seller rating is high. Iām optimistic.
Ok, ordered the XP-G2 with ePacket delivery($1.58) and -$2.00 coupon.
$27.28 Shipped. Have a spare 18650 tube coming from BG in an earlier order.
This is the best deal I got out of the S41 and S41S collection. Second best is the S41 Nichia for $30 Shipped on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping.
But I wonāt talk about the very first S41 I received and it was defective 2 weeks later. Paid $45 for that one and actually got a Full refund on it. Turned around and bought another for $37ish. Used the $8 to buy 2 Nichia 219C. Learned to reflow emitters and brought the #1 back to life. So $45 Divided by 2 equalsā¦ Shhh, quiet, donāt say it.
And the defective head, $8 tube, $9 tail SW assembly, 2X XP-G2 R5 4C @ $1.47ea from Simon. $20
But as far as averagesā¦ I have Seven (soon to be 8) and Only 3 survive as they came originally, still functional. 2 of those are the revised S41S versions and one S41 Nichia.
