SkyLumen LEP Group Buy

I reviewed it a few days ago. You can find the full review here: https://1lumen.com/review/unbranded-lep/

It's pretty impressive

I think the discount code has already expired. Pretty fast.

Damn it David :slight_smile:
I had no interest in this light until you posted this.
Heading to Mammoth in a couple weeks, thought it might be fun to play with up there.

You’re welcome! :smiley:
Did you happen to purchase one?

The discount code seems to still work in cart, but I can’t proceed further to verify if the batch is sold through.

Nice review ! Hmm wonder if it would be possible to upgrade the driver to add current regulation without compromising its other features……

I'm not really into modding, but I took some pictures of the driver, so people could probably see if that is doable.

I sure did….and the code works.

Wonder what I am doing wrong. I figured for $155 I would buy another LEP light however when I type in the discount code AFAIK it just says invalid code and the price stays at $200.

That’s odd. The code seems to still work when I add it to cart. As I understand it, Vinh said on CPF he is selling his third batch on his website with a discount code. When the code becomes invalid, the batch is sold through. I placed my order on 9/10; and on 9/11 Vinh said 2 slots left. Since then, I know of at least two people who have successfully ordered with a discount code. It’s possible he left it open to start a 4th batch, but I would email him about it.

By the way, which code are you using?

If thats the case why not pick it up from Neal, with discount code on site it ends up being around $152~

Yup, Neal is offering 10% off and stack with the 15% off new arrivals code will put it at a similar price.

Hey I’ve only looked for raw power on lights up until now and just in the last few days, I’ve thought of the 4000K, high CRI, etc

Any recommendations on a first one to get? Something like a soft warm yellow for the house at night perhaps? Not price sensitive, want something nice

Thanks!

I’m a fan if the KR4 from Noctigon. I have the E21A 4500K and it’s a nice neutral white. Hank just released the options for 2700K and 2000K emitters on his site. That might be a good tint if you’re looking for warm yellow.

And look at how cute it is with the 18350 tube!

I own 9 LEP flashilghts, and here are the comparisons. All of them are reviewed at 1lumen.com if you need more details. Mine are measured with a professional Hagner Lux Meter (Laboratory quality).

These runtime are calculated with a different lux meter (Extech SDL400), but using the original throw measurements of the Hagner

Scalpel, has your light shipped?

Not yet, how about yours? Vinh gave an ETA on the shipment going out the 24th when I first ordered and asked him about it. On CPF, I asked him last week and he posted two tracking numbers from DHL. The second was delivered today. I’m guessing the turnaround should be quick because he does no internal mods to it. Just a SkyLumen lanyard, warranty card, and I believe laser marking the logo on the tail to identify the ones he sold. Hopefully it ships soon!

No shipment for me either.
Your info sounds like it will be real soon tho. I guess we will get notified when he ships. I’ve never bought off his site before.
Thanks

He’s reputable, but is also a small operation. From what I’ve heard, customs and mods will need a lot of lead time. Otherwise he’s a well-known figure in the flashlight world.

Just a heads up chooma, it looks like Vinh is shipping the lights in batch 3. I have a tracking number as of midnight last night.
