New Big Head Side Switch Thrower (maybe Host for modding)

i’ve ordered from here their communication and packing is very good, they use paypal and registered SG shipping. i think a shipment of that weight might be less than $12

I’ll be ordering one :slight_smile:

Edit: I placed a order for one but I did not see a PayPal/credit card option unless they email a invoice to you ?

Yes.

Meh… not too crazy about the way they conducting business.
surely they have one of the best prices I’ve seen for lights, but when you want to pay it, you have to wait for their e-mail regarding shipping… I’d ordered once from them before, but never get the e-mail back regarding the shipping quote.
e-mailed them twice and the only reply I got was “sorry for the delay we’ll have our sales contact you” ( huh?)
I gave up ordering from them.
I rather pay more at other places than hassle with their stupid system.

Placed an order as well. Actually, ordered two. Mentioned in the comments I’d like to pay via PayPal. We’ll see how it goes.

Considering I have a number of Noctigons and drivers on their way to me, I am thinking of building two throwers - one XP-G2 and the other XM-L2. The former, possibly run at around 4.2A (using a resistor modded LD-29 driver) and the latter, around ±5A.

The more I look at it the more I think that light/host is just about my perfect thrower setup.
Provided the reflector is aluminum and it’s decently machined and put together everything else seems spot on.

Although I’m always a little put off when manufacturers show lights in product photos that have obvious anodizing chips and wear marks.
I always think if that’s the pick of the litter used to sell the light, how bad must the average quality really be :stuck_out_tongue:

Shipping from them will be at least $15 although I really like the first one.

i think i placed a order before but never got a response on how to pay, i think it was for the trustfire X2 light but ill post if i get a response back or not

I have bought from them before and their shipping was high but the light did show up and was not too bad as far as shipping time went. You do have to look pretty hard to find a deal on their site after you factor in shipping. They also don’t really give you a break on shipping for buying more lights. I thought that they could at least toss in free shipping on a small light if I bought a big one but they don’t even do that.

I ordered 3 times from this store, You will wait for email 1 or 2 days.

She's a heavy beast at nearly 1/2 kilo. I like the inner walls of the head as they appear to be vertical instead of tapered. It would make it easier to fabricate a massive heatsink.

I just contacted Wallbuys and asked them to carry this light and I told them that it would make a good group buy. I’ll go and do the same with fast tech in a few minutes.

I appreciate that, I’d definitely take that option over the current seller.
Cheers

nice lights !

Nice light! I bet that lens and reflector are plastic though. Sure looks like it. Hope not. Great MT-G2 host.

Too bad they don't deal with paypal and shipping is "we will contact you"?? Sounds strange.

We don’t know if the battery configuration of the first one is parallel or series, actually I hope it would be in series as that could achieve buck regulation. In future modification a high current driver like the 3T6 driver can be put inside, giving high current while maintaining the high output until batteries completely drained.

The TN31 and K40 are using this battery configuration too.

parallel 100%

Great find Pok. I’m going to look into purchasing this one too. With only one emitter, heat won’t be a problem even if a higher power driver can be installed.

Yeah just notice that too, thank you Pok.

Too bad. :frowning:

Nice.

I prefer the parallel setup.

Now I wish that FT will carry these, too...
