I did a quick ceiling bounce comparison between a S41 Nichia 219b and my S42 Nichia 219c with three different pairs of fully charged 18350s from three different brands - Enercig, Aspire and Efest.
The luxmeter says the S41 is consistently 25% brighter then the S42. That’s consistent with an outdoor run i did last night. There is a visible difference in output, and the tint is colder on the S42.
I was expecting the opposite!?
Any idea wether my light has a problem or else?
Doesn’t matter anyway, my code does not work and if it did, any astrolux i would want i can get 20% +/- with the coupons available from one of the boys.
I got the coupon offer, but as it stands I will probably never buy another Astrolux, and probably never order from BG. And a measly 16% off coupon is worse than any other deal that gets offered here…
Im pretty p!$$3d with BG and astrolux right now. got $65 in lights sitting unused, and most members here just say suck it up. Memory isnt listed in the A01 so NMM should be acceptable for a $20 AAA twisty light that originally had no memory. They are/will eventually send a new battery tube and USB cover, so $#!tty UI should be acceptable.

Did your “order” also show a cost of $1 for each item? I’m assuming the random order that’s now in my account (with no description of the items, mind you) is probably the USB cover and tube.
If you don’t like it, file a Paypal dispute and get your money back. It’s a light that was rushed, not well-thought out and many people (myself included) thought it would be a success, especially for the money. Mine wasn’t. Mine came with the front cap loose and when I tightened it, I heard a crack. It broke the carcio lens and dedomed the leds. I got a refund and will probably not buy an Astrolux again. Too many other good lights out there.
