and it did start out as a feeler, but we were half way to the 50 piece mark after one day, and in the past two days we have been able to work out most of the details. all that i think is left to do is make sure that the shipping is tracked, paypal is accepted, and a neat orderly way to keep track of all orders made from the group buy.
edit: and i am already on the search for the next group buy. got my eye on 3 companies, and 6 different flashlights i am considering for the next group buy
but i wont get ahead of myself quite yet. i will probably start it after the items from this one start to get delivered
can you ask if we’d have to pay return postage or even both way postage because if thats the case then the warranty is useless. we’d pay more to send the light back and pay for a replacement then we would for the original light. i sent a laser back to HK once and it ran me $18 for a freakin 501b sized laser! that was cheapest way to ship too!
SB, my guess is around the same as an SRK or Kung. My intentions is to mod it. I think it looks better than the SRK.
Pulsar, I think payment should go directly to their PP address and not through you. I know it was not suggested anywhere that it would go through you, but I wanted to state that just in case. Any issues people have will be dealt with to the person they pay. It should be them.
At 2.5A, xmlt6 should put out around 800 lumens. Given about ~15% loss due to reflector, and lens, 2000 lumens stands right on the mark. There is a thread on another forum with LED efficiency results, and that's where I'm getting the 800 number.
If it's actually 700, than it won't be as bright as a king.
It really comes down to the question of the driver.
I expect this light will match, or slightly surpass the standard SRK.
@pulsar
could you confirm about the chinese letter on the light?i prefer there is none since i don’t understand it.
and since it will shipped with CN post i hope they handle it with care,i’ve seen a video how they treat a package really bad by throwing them and such
