[GB-Closed!] Supfire m6 triple - CLOSED!

@Pulsar

johnny mac already put a product request in to fasttech right at the beginning of the group buy... so no harm now at this point i guess

I also included a link to this thread when I di so they can gauge the interest and possibly stock it faster.

This is a bold thought, but I think I can do emitter upgrades with copper MCPCB’s for some people.

Maybe even resistor mods for a higher current as an alternative to TP’s driver.

I’m on summer vacation, and my soldiering skills aren’t too shabby.

Shipping to and from here is also relatively cheap at about $6, and I think we can get a discount if they’re shipped to here as a bulk.

Let me know guys if this sounds like a plausible idea.

[ChibiM]

Hey Ryan, that sounds very good, but do keep in mind, that re-sending 50 lights takes a lot of time! ;)

I`m still in for 1.. if it stays below $35.. the light looks more worth than that!

[ryansoh3]

Yeah, I agree.

But I have a lot of time (like a lot) during this break.

[Pulsar]

ok, we hit 50 pieces last night while i was sleeping! maybe tonight we can discuss handling payments the easiest way to keep things organized.

im thinking of something like putting something like:

BLF GroupBuy m6 : YourBLFUserName

# of pieces

Your Name

1234 Your address

Pulsar, sorry to convey unhappy news for you as organizer.
since they will ship with CN Post to meet the price, I prefer to out

I had few experiences with CN Post while active buying stuff from Ebay.
there were only 2 cases with them:

1. lost package
2. if didn’t lost, arrival time average 2 months, and some with item damage.

just too many hassle.

thanks though for this GB chance.

I’m probably misunderstanding something, but 2.5A per LED, seems quite high, for a multi LED light. What are the SRK’s pulling? IIRC it was ~5.5A.

This driver would be pulling at least 7.5A… which is great, if that’s the case, but it would suck to find out that the driver is actually just 2.5A.

Also, any other option for LED, or strictly only XMLT6?

If LEDs are in series, each LED would get the same current ie, 2.5A and at approximately 700lumens per XM-L at 2.5A, the claim of 2000lumens sounds correct.

So theoretically do you guys think this will be brighter than a SRK? And compared with some of the good “Kung” versions that a few of you have received?

I’m in for 1 at 33 shipped.

[crinklecut]

Count me in for one at $33.

Sad to hear about your experiences. Most of my packages come China Post and they have always taken less time than HK post. Possibly the seller did something wrong.

If they happen to change shipment to HK Post somehow, I’m in for $33 shipped.

I have better luck with HK Post than SG Post and CN Post, so will not gamble on that postal service ever again except for real low value item.

Maybe I should PM their reps and persuade :D

[Pulsar]

they said HK Post is significantly more than china post. probably since they are based in china and not hong kong.

I think we have reached the lowest price at this point, and have updated the original post to reflect the final cost shipped and shipping methood

In the first post you have write HKpost. Is this correct?

[Just_Jim]

Any guesses on throw, and on battery life (say with Sanyo 2600’s)?

[Buwuve]

I'm in for one (maybe more, but I have to ask some friends). So please take me in the list for only one at the moment.

[Pulsar]

Sorry, that's my mistake. As soon as I fet to my computer I will change that. It is supposed to sa China post.

[scaru]

Just to help us get up to 50, put me down for 2. :D

[Haterade]

Glad this seems to have gotten sorted out. I think it will be good for all involved.

@RedForest UK

I’m still in at $33 shipped, but I would need the package marked at under $25 value to avoid customs fees of 20% + around $15 for processing it. That never seems to be an issue with other Chinese vendors though.

^This is a good point worth noting.

we are already up to 51, still want two?

and I/we can discuss the listed cost tonight with them. i think the quoted $28.26 would be the honest way out, but wont hurt to try $25. was a late night of negotiating LOL i got like no sleep...
