jamesearljonesisascab: Please send me an email to discuss the group buy thing. My email adress is cnqualitygoods@hotmail.com
I ordered this light on the 22nd and so far all the documentation I have on the transaction is my paypal receipt. I didnt register on the site when I bought and I guess I should have but I should still get some notification that I purchased the item or that it shipped. There was an option to purchase without registering and I chose that. No email, nothing. I also tried to send Ric a PM on this site and again nothing. I imagine that the light will probably show up here someday but I would like at least a confirmation, other than my money being gone, that the order was received and dispatched.
For those whose interested at buying this light, it looks like it will be $26.50 shiped w hk registry mail, he’ll give $2 rebate, still working out details.
So who wants one so we get an idea?
I sent them an email yesterday and they replied today saying my light was shipped on the 26th, the day I emailed them. Of course this is contrary to Rics statement on the 25th saying they had already been shipped. They also told me I could apply for the discount when I order. I have already ordered so I am giving up on that one. That’s my fault anyhow for forgetting about it when I ordered. I have a tracking number now so all looks good for getting the light anyhow.
Might want to post this offer in flashlight general info or deal alerts to gain some new interest. I am still willing to give one a try although somewhat skeptical on why they are still claiming 350 lms on there site and alot of questions asked went on answered.
that being a flood-to-throw, it is ipx-8 waterproof. i also doubt that it is 860 lumens, and i hope it is not just 350 with a xm-l. very interesting though.
The Yezl arrived today. I will reserve comments and judgement on output until it gets dark. I measure 2.21 amps at the tail cap on a 4.12V trustfire flame 2400. I measured a UF manafont XM-L 3 mode dropin with the same battery @ 3.21A. That dropin measure is pretty much in the known zone so I think the Yezl measurement is fairly accurate. Quality of the body is nothing special at all. The tailcap bezel is crenelated and the cuts are really rough with a bunch of burrs. The knurling by the head is square and seems kind if cheap. The knurling on the tailcap is ok, a diamond pattern and flat. The rear body threads are really short. The tailcap is threaded to accept twice as many threads from the body. They secure the tailcap just fine though so nothing to worry about really. Threads came lubed but really dirty and gritty. Had to be cleaned and relubed.
Ill post tonight with how things went in the dark.
Tested out the Yezl tonight. I have never, really, been less impressed with a flashlight. This thing is so unimpressive. It does nothing well at all, The spot is really big and gets its ass kicked by my sipik cK361 Q3. I put the spot on a tree 70 yards away and then put the sipik spot on there and it is twice as bright to the eye. For flood it sucks too. A p60 XM-L blows its doors off. This light sucks. No review needed, i wouldnt even waste the time. I think that what I got was a $30 XM-L to upgrade my romisen.
these beam shots by moviles2 are accurate and show the whole crappy story. http://www.forolinternas.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1942
Its not completely usless, it does shine light. Your going to get that now and then. I have been very lucky with lights so far, so to get a dog like this every now and again is just part of the game.
