Made my payment just nowâŠ
the Wait begins! lol
Ordered the Nichia 219C
Thanks Stephan
Both version ordered, thanks Martin :+1:
Nichia ordered. Thank you for organising
Ordered Nichia. Thank you!
Thank you. Have a good time 
Can we expect the same beam pattern as the S42?
Ordered the XP-G3.
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!
I ordered the XP-G3 version.
Thanks Martin !

Any info if the driver is glued in or it is removable with not much effort? I like to flash AndĂșril in it.
I donât 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 PCBâs are soldered together with you heat up so the solder melts.
Putting them back together is the harder part though.
Can you send some drawings or proto pics how it looks in a PM?
I can solder thin wires to controller legs and do flashing that way.
I donât have a driver out of a light anymore so getting a picture would be difficult.
The driver has the same setup as the S42 driver though if you have seen that. The MCU is on the bottom PCB.
Here is the S42 driver:
The MCU would be basically where the FET is on that driver (just more centered)
