ENEDED

For those interested, I bought the Mateminco S01, which is the same as the S41S except they use the 5000k 219B emitters. The tint is better (less green) than my Astrolux S42 5000k 219c, and both MF01 with 5000k 219c. I asked the seller and they confirmed it is still the 219B. The quality is awesome. Very heavy in weight and good heat shedding from the copper. I hated the Astrolux S42 but I love the Mateminco S01. It has memory mode same as BLF A6 but its much brighter than the A6 from ceiling bounce test.

I donā€™t have an account there, but could you let the seller know theyā€™re legally required to state that the product uses open-source code and provide a link to (or copy of) the source code?

The details are all covered in the ā€œCOPYINGā€ file included with the sources.

Ok I relayed the message to the seller

Nichia 219B / CREE XP-G3 / CREE XP-G2

Have to omit free gift for this price.

Ugh, I really didnā€™t need thatā€¦ but thereā€™s one on the way now :person_facepalming: Thanks freeme!

says 219C on the site

Hmm.
$14.60 US works out to $27.69 AUD.
I ordered a Cree G3 to go with my Original 219B, 18650 tube.
I run that one at 4 or 5 out of the 7 settings. not more.
Gives good walkabout All over light. with decent range
and doesnā€™t heat up TOO much there.
With another coupla clicks for a few seconds to check something out.
Weā€™ll see if the G3 gives a little more range hey.

Good price but I already have 4.

I will resist the deal :slight_smile:

me too :person_facepalming:

Same thing.

Iā€™m so tempted to do this. Iā€™ll get the XP-G3, or Nichia 219C since Iā€™m patient.

I know a driver you have that would go great in it!

was just checking out and S41 code stopped working?

:smiley:

Promotion Sale From January 24 to February 10. < Coupon is not allowed for promo items.

Close to half of the orders have been shipped. Which is a good sign.

So this was a 1/2 day deal? For the promo price of $25, not worth it.

Unauthorized cancellation of my order, Use out of stock as an excuse

Code now invalidā€¦ā€¦improve to $19.49 :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming:

It is way below cost. I am not surprise they have to cancel some of the latter orders. Unlike Lumintop SD75 saga, there are still a good amount of customers will be receiving their lights after our alert.

Hey freeme, Iam getting the run around from Banggood. Ordered on 1/29/19- got a shipping notice 2/1/19. Took a week and a half to get a tracking number after asking several times, tracking number does not show anything. Now on Banggood it shows it shipped on 2/15/19. This does not make any sense. They say the tracking number given is the right one. Spent a half hour waiting on their queue multiple times trying to get information but they are refusing to provide and useful new information. Is their anything that you can do to help me out, I really want this light. Thank you.

Therefore, orders after 2019-01-24 have been cancelled ! ? ! ? :frowning:
