It’s fast for you! I also have ordered the X3 from Banggood with $31 after discounted with coupon code, but they only shipped out at 23 December due to out of stock (it appeared to be “in stock” when I ordered).
Anyway if Banggood is really good then I should receive the light within the standard-14-days, which is by next week or around so.
It is beautiful, kind of a Gunmetal Gray, lubed threads, deep reflector, kind of a cheap aa battery holder, a thick plastic 18650 adapter, no 26650 adapter, but one could easily improvise one with PVC. Ok, I loaded mine with a Powerizer 26650, draws 3.2 amps at the tail. I have a LG 18650, draws about the same amps. Haven’t tried the Eneloops yet, Yes, it is very bright and a definite thrower.
My two x3’s came in today, yea! Wow they are a gorgeous light . The only batteries I have at the moment are tenergy aa and the 3aa battery carrier is crap but it does work ok . Waiting on some 18650 but am happy to see them arrive .
Yes, I really don't understand people like poor machining that can even cut your skin.. that's what I meant by No sharp edges.. Sharp edges=poor machining.
i guess the xintd x3 that wallbuys sells should be the same banggood sells? (hard to know, but flimsy 3AA carrier, 3/5-modes, no moonlight mode should apply to both?)
i ordered 2 from wallbuys group buy a couple of months ago (i have received one, the other one seems to be lost in china post since 17 november…)
i have tried the one i’ve received, and when i use 3x GP Recyko batteries, and use high, after a while the flashlight ramps up and down, is that a low voltage warning? it happened when the batteries where quite fresh though, and IIRC 4.02 V resting voltage over the battery carrier.
I am thinking about gifting one of the flashlights as it should be great for non li-ion people, but i’m unsure if i have a defective flashlight, or if it can’t be used on high with nimh’s?
I notice FT also sell the same one with Banggood. at least the same battery carrier.
can anybody post a little bit update after couple months usage of X3 from Banggood one?
I’ve bought X3 from BG… What would you like to know?
Quality wise…it’s excellent! Threads were a bit dry on arrival but I lubed them and modded this weekend(replaced driver for Qlite with added 4x7135 380mA and changed led to T5-5A3) and I couldn’t be happier.
Hey thanks for the update. Does the battery carrier limiting the current on eneloop?
as for the FT nanjg driver you pointed out, I have using quite a lot of it. perform like it should be although it’s not like Qlite on IOS one.
