here also…

125

I'd suggest checking whether the reflector is shorting onto the led power connection from the driver. This is a very common problem.

126

HD2010 "No Name" has shipped...

127

My noname ordered on 3/22, shipper 3/23 from HK - slowww boat, but expected. Thanks OL!

128

Mine also shipped :slight_smile:

129

Mine didn’t cause a short but I put 1 layer of electrical tape on the back of the reflector, where the reflector almost touches the conductors to the led.

130

My no named ordered on the 22nd also shipped yesterday, the 27th. Now for the wait.

131

Got a shipping notice from Tmart for the noname, so might end well.

Great big “Thanks” going out to Justin for setting up this group buy. We hope you do it again! You set up a great deal for a good number of us BLF members. Mine was only— $21.79. You are the man!

I was surprised how fast mine was shipped and received (today Friday, I grabbed it out of the mailbox before the wife found it).

I got a TangsFire, and am very happy with it. Nice build, quality, threads, glass lens, modes, etc. My brightest light to date no doubt. (My SkyRay King seems as bright, but of course does NOT have the same throw/hotspot).

My only complaint is the rattle using the included sleeve with a 16650 cell if shaked back and forth. Anyone else notice this? Any easy solution? Minor problem, not really a big deal for such a great light at this low price.

Still trying to convince Old Lumens to take a needed vacation, and visit us and some of his old boy-hood haunts he remembers in Upstate New York. A long way from Texas for sure, but maybe a day fishing in one of the Finger Lakes, or one of his favorite trout streams near Springwater is worth it? Just ribbing you, but you would deserve the time off for sure.

Thanks for all your efforts to BLF.

If its like the sleeves I have, fatter o rings might help. If its not like those sleeves, get those sleeves, and then fatter o rings. :stuck_out_tongue: Oh, my sleeves have o rings, did I mention that?

134

I may need to take an inventory of my o rings that I have on hand. That may help me, thanks to you Ejected.

135

Just stop shaking the flashlight already!

136

My TangsFire came yesterday and after tightening the the loose pill and lubing the threads I get 4.8 amps with a King Kong 26650. A quick test shows about 44,000 cd, so I guess I’ll order an XML2 on a Noctigon and some 22 AWG wire from Mountain Electronics.

Edit: It needs some serious heatsink work. It starts out at 58K cd and falls rapidly to 44K in 15 seconds.

137

Just got my Tangsfire and it’s perfect timing. I built an FET driver for it yesterday using the first BLF FET 17mm Direct Drive board and put it together with an XM-L2 U2 1D on a 16mm Noctigon in one of the last of Ryan’s copper pills.

With an Efest 26650 is does 4.80A, with an Efest 35A 18650 it does 5.51A …both of those were well rested and in the 4.14V range. :slight_smile:

Thanks Justin! :slight_smile:

138

For those of you who got the wrong driver or got the right driver, but it is faulty, or only does low amps, please PM me.

In your PM to me, include the following:

  1. Order number
  2. Date you ordered
  3. Date you received it
  4. Exactly what the problem is (Example:) " My light will only put out 1 amp on high, with the East092 driver." OR "My driver was not an East092 driver, it was an XXXX driver (include the numbers on the driver if you can)"

According to my contact, a replacement light or money back can be done.

For those of you that have some other issue, then PM me and I will see what I can do.

139

first class service OL!

I didn’t got mine - is there a deadline?

140

There was a limit on the number of lights and not everyone got one ordered in time.

141

I got one no name and it is shipped, but did not arrive in Austria :wink:

as soon as I have it in my hands I will give feedback what is in the box

142

Oh nice, tks OL. My giftee decided a different light was better (TRJ-3T6) so I’m ending up with the light again, and its got no difference in output on KingKong vs Trustfire 26650 and pwm noise on high, so I’m certain its not the “good” driver or “faulty”. Is there a time limit on this return? (not sure if I’ll be able to get back to it and apart right away to get this info) Will we have to pay return shipping? Not to be cheap but…most of the time you may as well buy a new light in this price range instead if so, in that case a partial refund would be better.

143

I would say, the sooner the better. I do not expect anyone to have to pay shipping. I am sure they will just send a new light or you can just have the refund. Not worth it for anyone, to ship anything back.
