I went through the process on there to get a quote for the TR-J20 for shipping which they sell for $63.25 and unfortunately shipping basically kills any deal over any other store.
DHL: the total price is US$63.25+US$33.57=US$96.82
HK Post: the total price of the flashlight is US$63.25+US$37.03=US$100.28
The reason HK is more is because the package comes in at over 1.5kg’s. Although I have to admit, the service, responses and general communications from Shenzhen have been outstanding. Now I just need to justify adding another WOL torch since I already have an x100…
Yeah, shipping is TOO expensive, many lights are cheaper with excellent use like tr-a9-2, its sad (too sad for me, which pays R$2,40 for U$1 :_( )
So, I always have a reason to buy a stronger light: work (this doesn’t convince even me :bigsmile: ), walking in the dark, and the reason infallible: prepare for Armageddon, whatever it may be…… Blinding ET’s rocks alot
for some reason I thought this was a cells in one chunky tube……now I looked it up, I’m even more excited to get my hands on it, I love my plunger lights. :bigsmile:
Tube is still pretty chucky because it will take the 32650’s but not soup can sized. I just got another one in yesterday and took it outside stock and this is the sad part stock it’s only as bright as the SP03 is on medium. One of the things I like about this is that it’s not a battery carrier style so no extra resistance from the extra springs and easier to load and unload.
I just finished putting the MT-G2’s in the one I got yesterday. I let the resin I use set up for a day before I wire them up. They fit in the reflector fine but I had to file them a bit to fit on top of the pill. 9amp SST driver from IO will go in parallel with them after that.
I also ordered another J-19 from a different supplier it was a few bucks more but I’m curious to see if they have the same lame driver.
It’s a great host but man that driver makes it the worst buy out there for a big light if it’s left stock.
True but this one doesn’t have the lumens of a Sky Ray King. Can you imagine owning a SRK and then spending twice as much money on one of these and having it be less bright than your SRK? I would have been ticked off if I hadn’t bought it with modding already in mind.
I guess you’re right though a true noob would still be pretty impressed and think they had the best thing ever.
I’m wondering if they got their plans mixed up, and put the bad driver in the ‘throwy multi-emitter’ and put a good driver in some cheap 3T6 style old light somewhere…
Someone told me when I posted the picture that it was the same exact driver as the first 3T6 that they put out. It says 4.8a on the top of the driver. I put it in a Small Sun ZY-T08 last night to drive a single de-domed XM-L2 with the battery carrier modded to series so 8volts roughly and it worked nice to drive one emitter and could actually be pushed harder. Probably 4.5 amps to that one emitter, makes for a nice thrower. I have another one that is running 7amps and that is really pushing it hard.
Got the parts for the J-19-3xMT-G2 so it should be done this time tomorrow.
