This procedure worked before… but it seems very recently, I can’t seem make that work… Can you verify it again?

One other feedback is that lately, BG seems to skimp on packaging.
Back around 3-4 years ago when I started ordering from BG, the items (flashlights) usually come in properly bubble-wrapped or with white foam wrap, which is inside a dark-colored plastic shipping bag.
But later (maybe 1 year ago or so), they just ship items inside the plastic bag (dark-colored plastic bag or the bright orange plastic bag with “Banggood” label), no more bubble-wrap or the white foam protection.
But very recently, my last 2 orders (one flashlight and another is an electronic item), there is no plastic bag at all — the shipping label is sticked directly on the item’s cardboard box (eg. the shipping label is sticked on the Convoy flashlight’s cardboard box), and then just scotch-taped so the box won’t open. No plastic bag at all. (I understand it may be they ran out of biodegradable plastic bag or are they just saving on ” placing the flashlight box into a plastic bag, then stick the shipping label on the plastic bag”; so now they skipped the plastic bag to make it more environmental friendly, but risking that parts of the item could have fallen out of the scotch-taped box
Hello Fin17. Banggood now has the Lumintop FWAA. I hope you will be able to offer a good discount for it. Only Nichia 219c 4000k is available now, hopefully they will add more emitter choices.
Hello Fin17,
Code for Astrolux FT03 Mini Holster not working because its now labeled Seeknite from BG and not Astrolux.
Code for Lumintop GT Mini Pro is expired.

I have been waiting months!, i just ordered a GREEN EC03 with XHP50 leds! i thought the day would never come! and the price was excellent too! thank you!
No. You can buy the LED alone on a 20mm or 25mm copper mcpcb from Simon @ Convoy for $32, and i have seen them for $30 "bare".. When these manufacturers buy them in bulk, they are not paying full retail like you and I would. Also, i think we would be surprised how inexpensive a aluminum flashlight host can be manufactured for once a company is setup or has a contract with a machine shop.
EDIT: But, that being said, i agree. Convoy is working at a tight margin and tighter than most others would be willing to do. Especially since it took simon months to get the driver designed correctly, that R&D costs money and more importantly time. $66 is a VERY competitive price. I am definitely buying one, next month though.
