I personally have no issue buying from Ric again. The BTU is a beast of a light with its only comparable rival being the TK75 when power, throw, price, quality, and flood are all considered.
And truthfully, the BTU comes closer to matching its advertised specs than 90% of the Chinese seller lights on the market.
That’s the way I look at it.
But Shaquille’s money, is his money, so if he’s not satisfied with the sale Ric made to him, I guess that his choice. I can understand that.
But I personally think I bought an awesome light for money from Ric.
You are, of course, 100% correct
I was simply confused by his statement above, which was at odds with his (relatively) glowing review of the purchased light.
If Shaquille is referring to the missing AR coated lens, he is correct. The product page does state AR lens, but it does not come with one.
Other than that, the product page matches the product better than almost every other light available from China.
Thanks for the info; I stand corrected and humbly apologize.
yes the AR lens + 800 meters throw + the sudden price drop . not sure if mine really had U2 emmiters in the first place ! cos now after upgrading to u3 the difference is so much that i suspect these were t6 emmiters. The only reason im satisfied now is due to my own upgrades.Once i add the sr 90 lens then itl be worth $180 .RIc has dozens of company available in china where he could have ordered nice ar coated lens in china for few bucks. why mislead us? .
I can be too picky at times i do admit but whenever you see smoke coming from my behind then someone started a fire there 
will a tk70 lens fit in the btu ???
I’ll post here when I get a price. BTW, does the bezel just screw off easily when replacing the lens?
It’s super easy to change the lens on the BTU. The reflector is held on via the led heatsink/plate. So keeping the lens pointed down, simply unscrew the bezel, once off set the light to the side tailcap up to keep dust out of the reflector. Remove the old lens out of the bezel. Carefully set the new lens in place in the bezel. Set the light on the bezel, pick the assembly up and slowly screw the bezel back in place until snug. Done.
Thanks!
will a tk70 lens fit in the btu?
I would say yes… But when tried to get one from Fenix they told me to kick rocks. Wanted me to send in my TK70 for repairs. When I explained to them what I was doing they told me they dont sell them seperately.
what a bunch of clowns they are !. anyways il wait for the sr 90 fellas to reply me .thanks Dale
What if you sent your Tk70 in after taking your lens out claiming that you dropped your light and shattered it? Would they replace it?
Not sure try it & get back to me. 
LOL
I wish I had a TK70 to try it on. :bigsmile:
got a reply from some Bam Caroll at olight today .they want $29.95 + shipping 
That’s exactly what Bam Caroll told me. But when I had my sister call in to buy it, they sold it to her for $10. And she even mentioned Bam’s quote. Weird huh.
Hopefully they will do the same for you.
So I have to ask my sister to call this Bum fella? pervert !! I could change my voice and pretend to be a girl
Sure 
I had her do it since I work during their normal business hours.
I just bought one of the U2 ones, but I don’t think I will upgrade the lens. I paid $120 and was given $20 store credit. So really only $100. I bought a XIAOZHI NW and a 16430 battery with the $20. I have been going to buy the ZIAOZHI for a while.
A fifteen dollar lens would have to give me a 15% improvement for me to spend the money. The cost benefit ratio just isn’t there for me.
But thanks for the suggestions anyway.
Now I’ll go back to reading everything about it and stalking the mailman.
I just bought one too,how did you get $20 store credit?
