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

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

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:

I’d love to buy this… but I’d need to pay +15eur for WU :-/
if some other seller gets it, I’ll buy in an instance

No paypal?

Edit: Sent the paypal funds so now I wait. Will definitely report on it when I get it.
Looking at the photos closely, I’m pretty sure the reflector is plastic but we can hope.

there wasn’t an option in checkout to select paypal, maybe when they send email with shipping info?

I think that’s the only way to it works, when you complete the checkout it just sends an email and they get back to you with a order confirmation and paypal request. Not very professional but hey, if you can’t wait for this light then it may be worth risking it too. :slight_smile:

Interesting light, let us know how you like it!

my boss said he buy one for me on his next big order that should be next week :slight_smile:
so I don’t have to deal with SZ or WU after all

The reflector looks like plastic, but imho it isn’t a big problem. You dont have to mess with insulation.
Maybe it is gonna exile the tn31/k40/x6 etc from the throne of throw for quarter investment?

Good point, the only plastic reflectors I’ve seen have been from really cheap crap lights. If it’s a good quality surface and produces a nice beam profile I guess I wouldn’t care either way.

And if it does suck there’s always the possibility of sticking one of those 64mm aspheric lenses in there instead :slight_smile:

Anyone noticed that it went up to 40$ wiith free shipping?

I have similar small suns with metal and plastic reflectors, and the metal have only about 4-5%increase in kCd than the plastic

“Hello Linus,
Have a nice day !
The reflector cup material is Aluminum Alloy,and the lens is acrylic .
Thanks
Best regard
Jacky”

Take that for what it’s worth but hopefully that’s correct. Seems a bit strange to skimp on the lens and not the reflector but I dunno :stuck_out_tongue:
I guess we won’t know for sure until the first ones start arriving in our mailboxes…

Good find, those high res pictures leave me with little doubt that the reflector in that sample is plastic.
Let’s see what is in the one that I actually get, received shipping confirmation today.

Cheers
