Thanks the!
I remember reading here that 20mm stars (copper) were better for heat distribution than the 16mm.
Does anyone else remember that?
In theory this could be true, but I do not recall any test results that prove it. I suspect the difference would be very small.
Got my BTU Shocker yesterday, awesome light! I made a thread about it here: Got my BTU Shocker today (Brief impression and beamshots)
Hi guys. I’m about to order my Shocker in few days, 1 week tops.
Few questions regarding shipping.
Someone here said, that even if you pick registered mail, as shipping option, they still might send it trough Fedex, i guess that could cost me around 30 euros +? i’m from EU.
If they ship it trough Fedex, and i refuse the payment when they deliver it to my door, will they keep my order (not give me the Shocker) until i pay, or they will still give the order, and ask Ric/CNQG for payment?
How much would it take to arrive to EU generally via other metods, registered mail post or whatever is the best (fastest free) metod, with tracking number, not more then 2 weeks i guess?
Thanks.
dazed1, you can email Ric directly at sales@cnqualitygoods.com and ask your questions. You’ll find him to be responsive and quite knowledgeable.
Enjoy your new shocker… its a beast!
Am I missing something? I realize that CNQ/FFL only offer the BTU Shocker with DRY driver now, no BTU driver anymore?

(presumptively) non Dry model 104.99 + free shipping @ Banggood
CNQG/FF sold out of the btu driver just after thanksgiving/end of Noverber. Ordered mine(btu driver) with a black friday coupon and a couple of days later they were sold out.
definately considering buying one of these now … for 100 this light will be great… it seems to have a decent amount of flood and definitely can light up anything in the distance …
$90 shipped. The coupon code is at the top of the Banggood deals thread.
found it! thanks
what 18650 batteries are recommended for this ?
http://www.mtnelectronics.com/opencart/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_88&product_id=54
I use 3 of these in my BTU Shocker. Best balance between capacity and sag.
yea thats what i would have got if i got no replies , is that a 2 pack or a single in that link? if its a 2 pack that’s a crazy deal, either way cheaper than my usual ebay battery guy
Don’t forget the risk involved in using unprotected cells in series.
how many candle power does this out out? when i show my friends and ask them how many lumens they think it is they often say…. 1 million lumens?.. million!!! waaaa umm yea i wish… i dont think you know what lumens are…… but i think they are mixing it up with candle powers… so how many is this on turbo? 3000 lumen mode?
If you choose the XM-L2 U2 1B option it should gives you around that, but the lumens output will sag quickly though because they are using aluminum or some unknown copper star, which is inferior compared with Noctigon or Sinkpad. The choice of 18650 batteries is also one of the key factors determining the output.
hmm well i was actually asking for the equivalent in candle power to that lumen output of this light…
You cant convert cp to lumens. In fact, I dont remember the last time I saw a flashlight rated in cp.
lol makes sense i wonder why all my friends think in terms of candle power for my flashlights then…
