Thanks for the update guys!
✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX MF05 SBT90.2 7000lm 3000m+ Thrower Searchlight - $390 (restocked) + Free Charger
Mine hasent moved since Tuesday, order 2 From Neal, one for ME and one for my buddy, his says it will be at his house Monday, and mine only says SHIPPING INFO RECIEVED…hope DHL updates soon…
I just got eagerly expected, exciting news from Banggood:
" We are glad to inform you that your order has been shipped out. "
"Package has been sterilized and shipped out" "Shipped from: CN"
Why would reading that make me think of cyanide? Because CN is the chemical formula for cyanide, and one industrial use for cyanide is for sterilizing.
Mine is also shipped from Banggood. 
Anyone interested in raw aluminium version? 
Imagine what a solid copper version would weigh…
I would be tempted especially if the price was lower……. new parts will match.
Saw the raw aluminium version on Neals FB page. Looks really nice but it’s not for me. Too big and heavy…and expensive. I think an LEP makes more sense for me…waiting for the M1X to get back in stock…hurry up.
Yes, I agreed too big & pricey as well!

I just read lots and lots and lots of topic threads for more than a few years for nice, small, flashlights that have one small emitter and ample fuel supply to run at max mode for a long time.
Administrator: Can you please generate a script to cause to be posted by me in each and every one of those threads the following content: "Looks really nice but it’s not for me. Too small and boring."
I would love to do this manually, by myself, but would I get tired of it after many times? Or would I get tired of it after only once? How about Never?
I'm out on this as well - not good timing for big $$$ - client company got bought out, hours cut to 32/week because of the slow down, I'm probably too old to land another decent software dev/software engineering job if I'm out of work. Dunno how long before this falls apart, could be weeks, months, couple years - dunno.
If it is possible
to buy just the head (no battery carrier and ventilator)
please PM me.
I want this cause of the diameter. :innocent:

I love it, also, would like to change to this version if it’s possible. 
sorry to hear this hard times for many now i also will have to pass on this light and the gt4 due to no work still landed :(, but shouldnt u be able still get something within your expertise i mean you must be more qualified then someone half your age and less exp ? i mean so what if someone is old but has lots of exp it should be easier to get job vs someone who is younger but lacks what u have…
It's a young person's field. These "kids" learn fast and started on computers from age 5 or so - it's scary.
Discrimination against older programmers was legendary during the .com boom, but I haven’t seen much of it since that bubble burst. The kids know how to use apps, but that doesn’t give them any insight into how the underlying technology works. If there’s still a market for languages and systems you’ve been working on you should be fine.
Unless the human malware has killed the job market in your area. In which case… 
Just received mine today in Canada.
Much more appealing to me in silver, anodize that bad boy silver.
Mind sharing some beamshots?
