Good find. I need some batteries.

New Manker Holster - $5.99

Astrolux S42 4xNichia 219C/XP-G2/XP-G3 A6 2023LM Rechargeable Mini LED Flashlight - Pre-order@ $29.99

Do you know price with coupon , when it will be available ?

Thanks

Already requested. S42 should arrive at the end of the month.

Do you know details about the driver?
Is it similar to the S41 driver? Similar firmware but without OTC? Does it realy have this performance?
Is this a firmware from the BLF or does Astrolux or the manufacturer has changed the Firmware to eSwitch?

New S41SC and S41S coming soon.

Strange that they don’t have the black one with a copper ‘engine’.

Indeed!

At least they should offer it as an option (for a few dollars more?).
Maybe they are willing to offer it as a special for BLF?

They already have the cost/trouble of sourcing two different heads.
Maybe they should offer a mix and match / build your own version?

Is it just me or does the Colored version look like the lens ring is cross threaded and crooked? Leaning to the right maybe?

Sure looks like it’s not too well made…

I’m guessing it’s a poor photoshop job. The S41s has a crooked head/body as well. :slight_smile:

I’m not lucky with s41s. Ordered 2 times, got problems both times.
First time, ordered S41a head. Arrived 4 days ago. Led’s dome damaged eventhough I haven’t unscrew it’s head(may accidentally unscrew the bezel when I unscrew the head but I’ts just 1/4 turn at most). I can noticed it only in moonlight mode. 4 leds still work fine. This may reduce it’s efficient a little but still work fine in real life. I contacted banggood for compensation and still waiting for result.


From the picture, it’s in moonlight mode.

Second order, I ordered SS body tube and SS tail cap(they’re out of stock when I order the head). Got them today. Tail cap is fine but body tube has strange color. Don’t know why, may be because they forgetting something or do coating before machining or whatever. I ordered it because of it’s looks, though. I contacted them and waiting for reply.


Sorry for low quality pics. My cheap cellphone’s camera just died and these pics were taken by a cheaper one. lol

TIR can be easily replaced. PM me if you need help for your order.

Thanks. I contacted banggood and they gave me a refund. It’s not worth much but better than nothing. w

Apologies if this is not the right thread for this, but I have a question about how to configure the S41S.

Just got a S41S from banggood and I can’t seem to change the mode grouping or toggle memory mode. I turn it on, click 15 times, wait for the 2 blinks then turn it off after the two blinks to toggle that specific option. Is that the correct procedure to set the configuration? Is there some trick to it? I’ve tried this 4 or 5 times now and can’t change the mode grouping or toggle memory mode. Light seem stuck in group 1 with memory mode off.

Edit: Looks like it was my error. I needed to turn off between the two blinks not after than.

Does the S41 have Bistro or A6 UI?

A6 firmware for S41/ S41S, according to their product descriptions.

+1

I have the S41s and I can confirm that it has A6 firmware

I’ve occasionally heard that the later batches of S41 may have had bistro, but I’m not sure. Originally it was going to use bistro, but the drivers were too sensitive to voltage spikes and couldn’t handle the amps of a multi-emitter light. So they used the older blf-a6 drivers instead, which are more tolerant.

The voltage-spike thing has been fixed in later BLF drivers, but last I heard, it was still a problem on banggood’s bistro drivers.
