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

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...

no email yet from them,any other source ?

No luck finding anything here. Would it help if more of us contacted fasttech or lightmalls to request it?

i would think so, even if they gave us info on where else to buy ?

Well I’ve also sent an email to Fasttech now. Fingers crossed.

No email from them either. I so wanted to have this waiting for me, but, if I don’t find it from another source or they don’t contact me within the next week or so, then I don’t think I will have the time for this. I really, REALLY, will be very busy when I get back home.

Received a reply from them just now. US$22 shipping to Australia. Sent them payment via PayPal for two of them.

Sorry for asking a dumb question here, US$22 is the shipping itself, or flashlight + shipping = US$22?

Also did they confirm with you if the head diameter (75mm) is correct?

Shipping was US$22, plus the cost of the light, around US$72 in total as I bought two lights. I never asked the size of the head. I am hoping that the description is accurate. It will be shipped via Singapore Post with tracking.

edit: with the batteries in parallel, does that mean that the working voltage is 4.2V?

Got a reply too, $12 shipping. Seems reasonable.
I’ve asked them to confirm if the reflector is aluminium and the lens is glass.
Payment via paypal.

Yes just like a single cell light but with 3x the capacity/runtime

Hi Rod,

That’s interesting; I placed an order on the weekend for the 1st light via the Shenzhen Wholesale web site, but it seemed kind of dodgy the way the payment takes place, so I decided not to go through with it.

Anyway, they sent me an email today;

“Hello dear friend,

Good day ! Thanks for your order.

I will ready the goods.

About your order i have calculated the price ,you need to pay for US$37.58 in total,US$12.4 product cost +US$25.18 shipping cost.

Please payment via our Paypal account zyobm@yahoo.com

I will send the goods by Singapore registered mail.

Thanks

Best regard

Jacky

sales”

I had already sent an email to cancel the order.
The original payment choices were either Western Union, or some other mob who I have never heard of - there was no paypal option, or no VISA option, even though they showed the VISA logo at the bottom of the main page…

Too dodgy for me - hopefully LightsCastle will get them in after a bit of interest in their thread , or another vendor.

Like seen early in this thread, I request it to WB. I also posted about it in the Lightscastle thread. And I sent a PM to BG. All vendors answered quickly, either in the weekend or early on Monday.

Hopefully someone will be able get it. :)

For those who placed an order through shenzen-wholesale... Some report or review is mandatory after light have been received! ;)


Thanks.

25,18+12$= 37,18$. Not too bad, assuming quality is decent.

Thanks you all for update :wink:
