Positive Comments about Neal Zhang owner of Neals Gadgets

I have bought a number of lights from Neal and had no issues. I will certainly be buying from him again in the very near future. In fact I will just check his website :slight_smile:

Absolutely positive.

What’s the link to his website again?

I bought a light recently and am very pleased. Shipping was fast and +1 on the packaging. Neal saved me a lot on a light I wanted and would not have been able to buy otherwise.

I ordered few times from Neal and no problem at all.

He once sourced some 14500’s for me he didn’t even list at the time when I asked him if he can find some. That made me very happy as I can’t buy any local and only option at the time was aliex.

I just purchased a Lumintop GT micro from Neal. It will be a blast to have a 14500 powered flashlight that can outperform the original C8 style 18650 powered flashlights.

Thanks for this thread, I have never bought anything from Neal. But the information stated in here will motivate me to look into the offering.

The GT micro will no way outperform a C8, even the best 14500 battery will provide less current than a low current 18650, and the 29mm reflector will give 40% less throw than a 38mm C8 reflector.

The throw, with comparable led I expect the GT micro to be about half of a C8. Which is pretty cool because the volume/weight seems less than half to me.

Well, he’s probably comparing the XP-L HI GT Micro to the XM-L2 C8 that was originally sold.

Yes I am talking about lights of old. Ten years old or so. Latest single 18650’s powered lights leave the GT Micro in the dust. Hey the Micro will be fun to use and own. If I want a super torch I know what to buy.
:slight_smile:

I agree that it is the small size that makes this light fun :slight_smile:

hm so u mean that if a c8 xpl hi throws 400m the micro will only do about 200m ?

Bumping an older thread. Does Neal sell legit/quality batteries? I know there are a bunch of knockoffs floating around.

Yes, he does sell legitimate cells.

He has this highly-rated 26650s, among other sizes:

Are those same as red/black 26650 shockli?? Just different print label?

If you are in the US, you are better off getting them from MTN . Same overall price with faster shipping.

My experience:
Ordered an E07. Got confirming email right away saying I would get another email when shipped. Emailed him after three weeks asking when the light would be shipped. No response. Hasn’t been a month yet so I may still see it but still radio silence.

I just found this thread….

I have dealt with Neal many times. Each & every time has been a very positive experience.
I had one light that had a problem & Neal replaced it right away.
He packs each shipment very well also.

Neal is a top rate guy & dealing with him is a pleasure!! :+1:

Thank you Neal…. :beer:
