YLP coupon for BLF

Haha! I wish I would have seen this thread earlier because I just ordered the YLP 2M CRI headlamp two days ago. I haven’t yet received an order acknowledgement email yet though…

I just missed it :open_mouth:
Is there any chance that the coupon can be extended again?

Old coupon is expired.

I discussed it with YLP, and they offered two new coupons:

BLF-10 - 10% for all lights (valid until 31.12.2019)
BLF-20 - 20% for Panda 3R, Panda 2M-CRI and Gryphon G180 (valid until 31.08.2019)

thank you

Is the battery in the 3r replaceable, or is the charger integrated into the battery?

The light uses a standard micro-USB charger.

So yes, the included Samsung 2600mAh is replaceable.

Thanks for the clarification

Good news! Thanks

I think I just ordered the Panda 3R and Panda 2M-CRI. Not entirely sure because the site kept switching back to Russian while I was trying to order. But Paypal says I just sent 5314 Rubles to someone.

Probably to “OOO Aproc.” You’ll first receive an email in Russian about your purchase and then you’ll receive a short email in English after it has been sent with your tracking number.

The other cool thing is you will receive in the box, a receipt or two with, among other things, you name in Russian. :slight_smile:

I did get two emails from YLP and my order is shipped :+1:
I don’t think I have ever ordered anything from Russia before.

I tried to use YLP coupon for BLF (BLF-10) to buy YLP Unicorn 1.0 but it looks like it’s not working. :frowning:

Oops. Thank you, I will forward this information to YLP.

But you can use special Unicorn’s coupon uni1 (it will cost ~$30) :slight_smile:

Thank you for the code.
I got my Gryphon G180 today.
It is a very nice light, very well made.

Has anyone measured performance of Falcon F15 or Falcon F20?
YLP claims 32 cd/lm with XP-L HI which would be really really great considering optics size and beam smoothness.

A little off topic, but just wanted to share my opinion on one of YLP lights.

I’ve been using Panda 2M CRI for a time.
I’m really positively surprised with this headlamp. Things I like most:

- great color and beam pattern for short to medium distance

- simple and useful UI

- firm head band

  • great for outdoors as well as electronics work

This is quite unique nowadays producer is not chasing fartyllion thousands lumens. Thanks to that the light does not get insanly hot is feels like it can survive everything.
To me a great value especially (thanks YLP) when used a code.

I managed to find the following maukka pics:

One can see Falcon F15 delivering 19.3 kcd in throw mode.
According to specs that should be 25.9 kcd.

Maukka doesn’t say whether the measurement was taken on the highest mode…but considering that one mode down should have 7.8 kcd, that seems to be the highest.

I’m somewhat disappointed to see the light performing 25% below the specs. Seeing that lm claims are modest and that YLP lights are fine in general I assumed I could trust the numbers…

I've been looking for a dedicated flood headlamp for closeup work for a while.

The Panda 2M-CRI tics all the boxes. Ordered one today.

Thanks for the BLF-20 code; it worked. $35.00 & change shipped to KY.

Same here - just ordered the Panda 2M-CRI on the BLF-20 coupon. Didn't expect it but up popped PayPal when ordering.

I built up my own customized headlamp that is very similar to this one, running NarsilM and high CRI LED's, but boy, this one has a lot of the desirable features for bench work.

Thanks 1stein for the comments/feedback on it!

Hey fnksb, I’m very tempted to get the 2M CRI and Unicorn. Any chance there’s a combined discount code so I can order these at the same time and benefit from the discount and save on shipping?
