Can’t remember the exact percentage. But my 41 is brighter than my 42 in a ceiling bounce test too.
did anyone ever try to flash a new UI ???
It doesn’t appear to use any of the MCUs BLF has code for. So, no, flashing a new UI isn’t likely.
I just received a reply email too, but no mention of a coupon… 
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…
I asked about it in my reply, they sent me a 15% coupon code.
…only applicable to a selection of lights….
Hmm…
A nice gesture that they know is no better than the typical.
Yeah, i edited my post…
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.
Bunch of sheep following the wolves.

Just got an email from bg. 2 unknown items just shipped.
I think its the tube and cover.
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.
Yup, thats what the invoice showed.
The same here…
same for me
and for me
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.
I think once you accept the replacement parts as a solution you can not file a PP dispute anymore…
yeah, it’s a bit like sheep following the wolves maybe…
Weird though, i’m still looking forward to a sweet GB deal for the S42S…
I got the 16% off astrolux coupon as well, and my $2 ‘order’ shipped today. My S42 works functions turns on and does not damage cells with the 18650 tube. My A6 will take the stock 18350 tube so I guess that’s good.
I’m hoping one of the BLF brain trust either figures out how to reflash the existing driver or builds a driver that will accept Narsil or Biscotti.
