I’m a welder… I got a thing for my metals, and can handle the heat :smiling_imp:

You need to purchase a 18650 battery tube separately!

I figured as much as discussion of the 18650 tube being sold out, but its not very clear in the description… I noticed in the S41 description it was made clear.

PS: wish this was for the stainless S41… that thing is sexy

I purchased this tube from aliexpress at $2.50 shipped!

[deleted-200707]

I preordered this as I like the form/function of the S41/S41S.
Not entirely sure about the feasibility of the switch being in the hottest part of the light as I have experienced the power of this lil pocket heater.
Probably very usable at its 6 lower levels so the switch is welcome for those.
I’m also interested in the variety of metal heads.
We’ll see how the Al head handles the heat.

@Andybibbville

Can I please have another code? If possible

the code can be reused ;)

[Pulsar]

Got the code and purchased! Thanks M4D M4X!

I ended up with the XPG3 after a lot of back and forth between that and the Nichia… Was a hard choice for sure, but too good a deal to not get one. Maybe a S41S deal will pop up thats too good to pass up and I will grab that in Nichia… (hinthint)

thank you all for your support! :beer:

i wanted to order…but not sure about the cheap usb flashlights….never had any….what do you think?

[Pchri12]

I am thinking the same. I will still preorder two to test. Already have blf A6 and going off that, it will be a great little light.

Thanks a lot Martin, XP-G3 ordered!

[Ievel]

Thanks. Got mail and placed order =)

I went back and forth between the much higher output xpg3 and the nichia. So at this price I opted to get both. I’m not a fan of the rings and color bands of the xpg3, but outside it really doesn’t matter. I too wasn’t fully convinced from the listing that the 18650 tube wasn’t included, just that the battery wasn’t.

I don’t have any 18350 IMR cells, so what going to be good? I’m sure Mte Windyfire cells would be great, but those aren’t currently in stock. Also, it’s usually safest be to get button top since I don’t know if the light as physical polarity protection, but will flat tops work as well?

Hi Martin! May I request for the code? thank you!

[Stevedog]

Hi Martin, code please… thx

Well I ordered one but thought is was a 18650 flashlight. Not a big issue can order an extension tube. But if its an 18350 write it down.

[ohnonothimagain]

I might have missed seeing my post- But I’d sure like a code please if you didn’t send me an email. Sorry if this is a duplicate post. Will the output vary much between the 18350/16340/18650 batteries? I’ve got plenty of 18650’s arounf— I apologize if I messed up writing. I have catarsacts and my vision is kinda messed up today… I did see this spec and thinking on the XP-G3. Thanks for the chance to save some money. onnha

Any pre- tests somewhere of this light!?
