New Roche F6 EDC XM-L2 Single 18650. $20.99 shipped.

It was ordered, and came, with the charging head.

In the drop down menu next to the “Buy it now” button you can choose whether you want the charger head or not, costs $3.

Well worth the $3

Ok, thanks for the quick reply , folks
Ok , see it now , missed the fine print.

My reflector rattles slightly, which I find quite annoying.
I have loosened the stainless bezel and placed a small spacer under the aluminium reflector to take out the slack.
It works lovely now.

mine came with the charging head ..

this one definately needs a Dr Jones driver ..

Come on Dr. J......

I wonder if the following would work:

1. 3.04 amp Nangj 105c with DrJones Lumodrv driver.
2. Mtn Electronics Zener diode mod to allow the Nanjg to run at higher voltage.
3. Replace emitter with MTG2
4. Run on 2x18350 IMR cells.

Dr. Jones said normal drivers are too big for this light and he was thinking of making one since he liked the light so much . It was my intention before I even bought the light to mod it with one of his drivers so I was a bit sad to hear that there was a size problem . I really like the light and might have bought another if I'd recieved it before they raised the price.The lack of a better driver option is the only thing holding me back... It took 66 days from banggood so the ebay light starts looking really good at this point .Although it's probably just banggood again :P

How big is the driver compartment?

Nangj 105c drivers are 17mm in diameter. But I’ve managed to get them into 15mm compartments by filing the edges down.

thickness

I think thats what I thought I heard

Received my charger head today.

Ordered another one (without charger head) and started developing a driver board.

Unforunately that ebay seller doesn't ship to Germany. Otherwise I'd buy a third one.

Contacted BG: they said they will re-ship charger head. Let´s see if I can eventually get one.

Designed a board. 8*AMC7135 (split into 7+1 for lower lows), red & blue status LEDs.

I couldn't find the original tact switches, so I used different ones (those from the Small Sun ZY-T29). Correctly placing the switch might be essential; maybe adding a dab of glue to the button (to gain some length) can help, don't know yet. The driver might also fit into the ZY-T29.

I'll upload it to the fab later. And then wait...

Edit: uploaded. PCBs are being manufactured today (Jan. 29th).

I will have one mate xx

My charger head arrived today as well, and works, too :bigsmile: No problems with banggood at all, they re-sent the charger head without hassle.

My charger head arrived so i’m good with Banggood.

My charger head also recently showed up. :slight_smile:

I got the replacement Roche F6 from banggood today, not good news :frowning:

Anyone know how to tighten or at least remove the switch so I can swap it with my other one? How about swapping the driver, anyone opened it up yet?

My Charger head still have not arrived.
(Its been OVER 2 weeks now and still have not recieved it.)
Can anyone from BANGGOOD explain this ? …or should i write them off as a bad retailer and Black-list them for my future purchases ?
