Thanks, grabbed the Nichia 219C

Ordered XP-G3 version
I think this will be in my EDC rotation soon.

Ordered XP-G3 version also
that makes both

Is there a possibility for BG to make a S43-S43S,with copper head?

I like that this version is not copper. I like copper for heatsinking but not like the look of patina.

Yes, it uses the same optic so it will have the same beam. The only change to the beam is a slightly thicker bezel for some reason so thus a little lower OTF lumens. Although on the plus side the tint shift on the XP-G3 seems to be a little reduced as well.

thanks guys!

Any info if the driver is glued in or it is removable with not much effort? I like to flash Andúril in it.

I don’t think it is glued but it is press fit, not the easiest driver to remove.

Sadly flashing it is not a simple task due to the Charging PCB being in the way. There was no way around this sadly.

To flash it you will have to remove the charging PCB first, this is not impossible but can be a little tricky as it takes some time for the brass rods that the PCB’s are soldered together with you heat up so the solder melts.

Putting them back together is the harder part though.
