I am unsure exactly actually, they didn’t say if they were or not that i recall, but i believe they are non-protected. (there is no mention in their Ebay listing with the batteries on that.
Barry made the code good for 30 days so if someone wants to wait and batch 2 is within that period then yes the code can be used for batch 2 LTs. The 30 days was chosen for just that reason.
If there is a way to get it shipped to you then all you need to do is let the folks here know how many you want and you’ll be added to the list. The list doesn’t mean you are committed to buy. That comes later when money changes hands.
Thank you very much. Yes, I can get a flashlight with Aliexpress.
If it is enough to indicate my interest in this topic, then yes, I confirm my participation. I am interested in 1 piece.
Especially the 10/10 update. If you want to order from Amazon you will have to wait for a PM from Sofirn which is a manual process (so expect some time before you get one).
Another possible approach to giving a batch selection to early adopters. Give them codes that will work on batch 1 or 2. With the ability to choose batches. Then put the unused codes from the first 500 at the beginning of the second batch.
FWIW, let Sofirn do it their way. They are the ones who have to handle, package, etc. They have supplied options for vendors. Be happy it is in production.
