Stinky situation becomes even more smelly.
Niwalker somehow managed to create a “Niwalker hater” here, Fenix wasn’t able to achieve that, Nitecore and Crelant didn’t manage to do that either but Niwalker somehow did it, so congratulation Niwalker…
If I was a player in this market I wouldn’t go nowhere near the Niwalker because that could/would seriously damage my reputation.
Please think before you pass judgement on the innocent. Vinh did nothing wrong. He is just trying to mod a light that may very well be the meanest MT-G2 light on the market and a modded XM-L2 version light that may very well beat his TN31 mod. He’s striving to take us places in the LED world that not many have done as of yet. So think about that and think before you hammer someone wrongfully.
That said, my Solarforce K3 is now producing some 3060 lumens on 2 18650 cells through a modified Q-Lite driver. The emitter is getting a calculated 5.79A. 3 very useable modes, with options.
Again how many guys here with the exception of an elite few can get out of a light what Vinh can at the prices that he charges and with the speed of service and same exact quality? I don’t know of many.
did not bother to come admit wrong in my group buy thread, instead decided to just do his own... one which profited him over a grand after shipping charges. most likely over $1500 after I did the math
At any rate, this whole debacle is a fairly large cultural / community disconnect on Niwalker’s part.
Or as my adult daughter would say: “Epic PR fail.”
Sounds like Cellguy and vinhnguyen54 are both collateral caught in the middle of a raw deal, thanks to Niwalker’s (at best) unethical behaviour.
I’ve not interest in supporting a business model like that and sadly, even if they’re the best light ever, period and made to unbelievable specifications by vinhngeuyen54, I can not support them, yet do wish him well in clearing his stock.
Divided, we fall, united, we stand !
I wonder if that actually penetrates the skulls of some and the meaning is actually appreciated, as actions strongly suggest otherwise…
Niwalker have a LOT of explaining to do, first starting by actually fronting this very community and affording us the respect of candid replies to our questions and inquiries.
