Looks like their site accepts PayPal so I wouldn’t worry, other than the possibly long shipping times from Russia. I’ll ask if there is going to be more international dealers.
Thanks for the review, it looks like a great light with good CRI and quality.
Group Buy!
I’ve ordered from them twice, shipping from Russia to East coast of US was less than a week each time (5-6 days if I remember right). I own the G180 and panda 3. Both great work horse lights for me either camping, hiking, or on the job.
incredible reviews! This website has many other nice offerings IMO. I particularly like the SCORPION X8.
thank you for this thread.
I spent last couple hours watching Kung Foo Panda with my grandson and now this is at top of page when I refresh BLF.
The Panda is speaking to me.
Looks like a very solid offering. Too bad it doesn't look like modding is much of an option.
No other international dealers. There are some models on ebay though, but they are shipped from Russia as well.
I discussed it with YLP, and they offered a special discount for Panda 2M-CRI, –20%.
Coupon: BLF-1 (until the end of March).
YLP also suggested introducing discounts for some other flashlights/headlamps. Could you please tell, which lights would be more interesting for BLF?
I like a lot of offerings on their site! I have e a couple of e-mails in to them and have not heard back??? Do they participate in the Chinese New Year?
How about a coupon for the Scorpion X8?
thanks for the Panda 2M CRI coupon!
Done, the same coupon is valid for YLP Scorpion X8

Thanks for the review, it looks like a good product.
Thanks for the great review. I love the form factor and dual led setup.
It would be great for them to make a high CRI option in the panda 3. Throw in a buck boost driver and I’m sold!
Thanks for this thorough review. Interesting headlamp …nice to be able to program the modes. Drag to see that 2 x 123 primary batteries are “forbidden” as I was thinking about this headlamp when the temp stays below freezing.
I am afraid that 2-channel buck-boost driver can be too expensive 
And perhaps not really effective… 
Ok. just buck is rather good too)
Buck driver with one 3V-LED? You will need to look for advantages with a magnifying glass 
With 3-4 LEDs - yes, buck driver will be more better. With 1 LED it will be more auto-training than real benefits.
It makes sense only if we are talking about 2*CR123.
Xpl2 is more efficient than 351D , but 2M has 2led. so difference in efficiency is ~20%.
90lm/W vs. 140lm/W. At the most useful mode.
There are too many questions regarding LEDs, modes, optics and methods of measurement. For example, we can get 10-15% difference just because of LEDs, even on the same product:)
So this is not “so”, this is a lot of different factors besides “linear vs buck” 
And I doubt that 80 lm is the most used mode for headlamp for many people. Actually, for 80 lms a good buck-driver is better, but it might be not reasonably better for brighter modes (btw, for moonlights too=).
If heaglamp is not a toy but tool, the most useful modes 100-200lm , especially for outdoor, in this range buck driver is better than linear. (And if we speak about Panda3 now it has neither stabilization nor moonlights)
But I see your point.
