I'm surprised how nice the tint is coming from cheap low cri emitters. The negative DUV gives it a nice rosy tint

The battery that came with the YLP F20 is rated at 3500mah and described as NCR18650GA. However, of the dozens of NCR18650GA I measured, none measured this low. 3,310mah may be from a lower grade batch of the cell but either way I have tons of 18650.

The battery that came with the G18 is rated at 2600mah and I measured 2622mah.

Thanks for sharing. I did not know the Falcon FH5 has a CRI80+ emitter (despite the low R9). Now I know why I quite like it compared to other low cri CREE 5D or 5A tints.

156

Is there any timeline on the Panda 2M CRI coming back in stock? Or any plans for another high-cri headlamp? Thanks.

157

Panda 2M CRI is available.

Thanks!
edit Ordered one. With coupon, shipping to US, and current exchange rate, was just over $36. Looking forward to it!

159

I just got mine and love it. Yes, turbo run time is good and the tint is excellent(for me, anyway)

160

I've been waiting for the Panda 2M CRI's to return to stock since I bought my first one last year. Want to order two more. It's a great head light.

My first one has a three-strap headband.

Does the headband still include the top over-the-head strap? I don't see it in the pics on the YLP site, only the main strap that goes around the wearer's head.

Yes, headband with the removable top strap :slight_smile:
I think the photos on the site will be updated a little later.

162

Thanks. Ordered two. Coupon worked.

I’d like to buy a Unicorn 1.0, but they are currently showing out of stock. Hopefully it will be restocked? I also hope at least the 10% discount code will still be valid.

If anyone has one they want to sell please pm, thanks.

164

YLP-store hadn’t been working for a week (because of lockdown). Since today they started working and you can order the flashlights. But delivery can take a little longer than usually.

165

Yes I just checked it shows in stock now, thanks fnksb for the update!
Now I need to find and try some coupon codes, I remember seeing one for 15% somewhere in another thread.

EDIT: I found the 15% code, Unicorn 1.0 ordered!

166

They arrived yesterday. Both headbands do indeed have the over-the-head strap I prefer.

So if I read your timeline correctly, you ordered on 3/14, and received your package on 4/25?

I put in an order on 3/17 when the Panda 2M CRI showed in stock. Then it showed out of stock, and then they went through the shutdown described above. I guess I should be more patient, especially given the times, but I haven’t received a response to several emails I’ve sent, and there’s been no confirmation or shipping notice (apart from the original PayPal receipt).

Maybe it will just show up in the next couple of days, but was this the communication pattern for you too?

168

This is strange, usually YLP sends an email with a track code for all orders.

Can you write me your name and order number (right here or by private message)?

169

Ordered 3/14, arrived 4/24.

YLP sent two emails:

First one was order confirmation, second one was a day or two later with tracking#.

Note that the YLP emails went to a junk folder instead of my inbox. Hotmail has gone completely whacked-out for months now, misdirecting desired & legit email into junk, spam or deleted folders, no matter how many rules I make. Check your spam/junk etc. folders.

Monitoring 17track showed the package in Russia for some days, then it disappeared entirely for a couple of weeks before reappearing in NY under the care of USPS. That was pretty much the same as I saw on my first order in late 2019.

Perhaps also contact member fnksb. He seems to have an inside track to YLP.

Ah! I’m disappointed in myself; I should have known to check spam. You’re absolutely right, there was a Russian language confirmation and then a shipping notice. My package was shipped on 3/18 and ‘Released from Russia’ on 3/24. So YLP did everything right, and I need to return to my remedial international purchasing 101 studies.

Thanks for helping me out with my blind spot. Hopefully it will turn up in the USPS tracking system soon.

Any currently valid coupons for 20% off?

I was watching the Panda 2M CRI all through the Black Friday and Christmas seasons but since it was out of stock I couldn’t use the coupons. Now that it’s back in stock, those coupons are expired.

172

It’s a middle of 2020 :wink: Any proper light released? :innocent:
Any 21700 flashlight on the way?


It looks like it is a YLP after all :smiley: Яркий Луч

Any plans for ENOT L3500 version with warm light and Anduril or Narsil?
