From post #479

Finally… This story is over.

Refunded (on 4th).

It was the last purchase from Neal.
Lesson learned.

Caveat emptor.

Anyone know of a good holster for belt carry? Thanks

You can usually find decent ones on eBay that are milsurp such as from Eagle industries.

My Catapult V6 Holster works great.

Helios_azimuth · March 24, 2020, 10:54pm

There are quite a few, but for some reason they do not often give dimensions. I will try looking a bit harder. Thanks for the input.

That is what I have been using too, but the flap is too short to secure the Velcro closed. Maybe you have a different version. It works, but one with a longer flap would be better. Enjoy your light.

Did supply ever get sorted with these? , i waited, and waited and waited, eventually got a refund but not flashlight

Helios_azimuth · March 25, 2020, 11:47pm

It still shows Sold Out on Neal’s website, so probably not. Two weeks ago Vinh at Sky Lumen had difficulties getting stock from his suppliers, but was able to find some. It looks like we will wait to order until they are available, which might eliminate the kind of problems these other guys are having with their orders.
Patience is a virtue.

How many meters of throw does this light have?

BaronVonEissler · April 13, 2020, 12:35pm

I saw Three measurements on this thread:

Shockli-185Kcd=890m/940yds.

Another member:

Shockli 217Kcd/932m/1020yds

Golisi-237Kcd=974m/1065yds.

I am using Golisi and Aspire which are supposedly the same cell.

They did not specify Turn On OR ANSI[30 Sec.] My Guess is turn on numbers.

California_Prepper · April 13, 2020, 7:20pm

Is that the groupbuy price?

Rusty_Joe · April 13, 2020, 9:06pm

Does this light still have switch issues?

BaronVonEissler · April 13, 2020, 10:21pm

I got mine last November and it did not have a switch issue.

M4D_M4X · April 13, 2020, 10:44pm

no - shipping prices raised quite a bit

California_Prepper · April 14, 2020, 4:00am

Ordered. Thanks Martin & Neal.

mr_magoo · April 14, 2020, 4:24am

My switch works fine.

I’ll be buying another one for my brother. Bad ass light.

Helios_azimuth · May 21, 2020, 3:48am

FYI, it takes a while for delivery. Have not received mine yet, it sat in LA for over two weeks… wonder if that was time for COVID19 to die before being handled. Anyway, should get it soon.

I got my second one a few days ago. Pretty happy with it. I bought it for my brother but now I want to keep it…

I’m not sure what batch this is but it looks like they’ve improved since my first one. It must be using a higher bin because it is noticeably brighter. Has a little warmer tint. Looks like it has a new driver, maybe that’s the difference.

I have yet to test it against my older one but I’ll do a ceiling bounce test and measure for candela tonight.

I use a cordura 1 ltr water carrier to carry and give overall protection for lights of this general size. Here’s one I use next to a growing SBT90.2 collection.

The switch works perfectly, no problems getting into turbo.

It seems like it’s a difficult emitter to tame. The beam is as expected for a reflector of this size.

BaronVonEissler · May 21, 2020, 2:11pm

The Virus can NOT last on a box from over seas to USA. Saw a program on that with medical doctors.A recent study has also found that coronavirus can live on cardboard up to 24 hours.

The risk more so arises between pickup by the delivery person, drop off at the home and thereafter.

“Even if your delivery person or mail carrier isn’t experiencing symptoms, they still may be carrying the virus and unknowingly spreading bacteria,” Dr. Frank adds. “If you’re touching items that someone else has recently handled, be aware of possible contamination and take preventative measures to protect yourself and your family.”

It took 5 days from the time mine started in China until it got to LA.No worries/no risk. They are either overwhelmed with packages or short handed.The delay has Nothing to do with the Fear of spreading the virus via packages from China.

People get quarantined Not packages.

Anyway, My Noctigon K1 has been in LA for what now is day Eight.Because of your experience and others it appears I may be waiting even longer.

Hope you get your soon and mine also!
