Dang. At least you got in on the deal. You got one of the best "high end budget" headlamps for half the normal price, you should be grateful if it comes only in bubble wrap and works properly. Every single budget light I've ever gotten, with the exception of Solarforce bodies, have come with no formal packaging, no matter where I've gotten them from, even other Ultrafire products. Someone who really wanted an H2 would probably be keeping it anyway, rather than giving it away to someone who probably wouldn't appreciate it nor use it as much. Gift giving often involves trying to get the recipient to think you spent more on something than you really did, and that's one thing I really dislike about the practice. I say if you want to show a person you care through money, then spend the money. If you got it for you, enjoy the light!
When you buy a hard drive, do you buy bulk/"oem" versions if they're cheaper, or do you pay extra just so you can get a package to take apart with instructions you don't need? That was the mother of all headlamp deals to come along so far, as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to see Zebralight come in here and do something like that, but I'm sure they won't. Heh, I'd be happy if they just acknowledged our forum--but to my knowledge, they haven't, even though their products come up regularly here. Hasn't given me any extra incentive to buy from ZL (nothing against them though). Especially since I'm slowly learning to mod my own stuff, thanks in large part to this forum.
I've just received UF-H2b safely this afternoon..seem to be good quality after external inspection. I'm testing with ni-MH after 15 mins and felt very warm....I'll test more tomorrow...:-)
My order status didn't change yet. Right after ordering it showed "order paid" and it is still the same today. I also didn't get any email. What's wrong?
I find mine easier to use on a nitecore headband. The included rubber mount doesn't work with the clip, and is very difficult to install. The nitecore headband has an additional strap over the top of your head, and holds the headlight much more firmly while also allowing mounting with the clip intact (and much easier to slip into the headband).
The included one was also too soft and weak so felt un-retentive.
The PWM is still annoying me, but at $20 i can try to look over it, But definitely not for use as a headlight for when I'm working in the workshop.. Which is what I bought it for. Machining on the lathe is not fun at all with a strobing light.
thanks for all to share your experience with other members here. I am glad that you are interested in the item. And hope you can write a review about it to tell more members about it. I will keep you informed about more good deals in our store. Thanks.
Got an email mine was sent. Now the wait begins. This is the part I love most with all the HK/Chinese vendors. I need to be on prozac or something from the time I order until it arrives.
I'm in Calif also. I ordered my lights (2) right when the clock struck 12:01 a.m. on the 20th, so I had to be one of the first in the western USA to order one. I got an e-mail saying it shipped on July 30th. Is there a method to their shipping order, or just pick and send? That's alright as i have other lights I've been waiting a long time for too.
I'm in PA and USPS tried to deliver today, but my wife was not home or didn't hear the mail man to sign for it. I'll pick mine up at the post office tomorrow.
damn the USPS , they leave me notes instead of stuff !!
EDIT : they need a martial arts dummy as you walk in so i can take out some frustration and one when you walk out. they need some minimum wage workers there, the 40-50k they make is wasting my hard earned tax dollars on slack jawed lazy ass monkeys get to work monkey !!
