Ordered 2 but skipped the tracking as it asked after I had already filled out the paypal deal, besides, when I have tracking all I keep doing is checking on it, this way it will be a pleasant surprise when it shows up.
My strategy on these special buys is to order ASAP because that is when the company wants to do their best and get orders out quickly.
Has worked well in the past.
Did anyone else notice that they offer insurance?
Would never get it, good luck claiming on an overseas shipment.
Anyway, the wait begins!
Thanks OL for putting this together !!
Over the past few years, I have refrained from doing this... but, since I really am not modding for myself any more, then I will say yes, with restrictions.
Meaning, yes, but PM me and we will work out what I am willing to do and not willing to do.
Does not come with an AAA holder. I would suspect it might fit, but I wouldn’t want to use AAA, unless you wanted a reduced capacity light. AAA won’t hold 2.4 amps and will sag very quickly.
You’d want a holder for 3xAAA or more probably 3xAA, 3S1P , to get ~4.5 V, but then dimensions of the holder would need to be approximately 18mm x 65mm or 26mm x 65mm.
I seem to vaguely recall that someone sold a combo of a 20mm star for a triple together a 35mm triple lens, but I can’t find it now. Seems like it was either IOS or CNQ?
Anyone?
Even with that, for a triple, it seems like the surface where the star was on would need to be moved forward somehow, like a pill extender?
I know description and GearBest says XM-L, but I still wonder if it comes with XM-L2 like the lights from WB. Time will show.
In case people want to improve or change how the driver works, and its the typical F13 driver in the lights from GearBest.
-Short connection in red circle if you want 5 modes (adds medium and strobe). Or remove resistor there if you want 3 modes high -"mediumlow" and strobe.
-Add resistor on top of capacitator if you want to fix remove next mode memory. I used an 153 back when I played with this driver..
-If you want to increase current, move positive emitter wire from OUT+ to OUT+1.
-Cooper braid springs
-Replace stock locating ring with butterfly ring from FT.
Or just just replace or piggyback a better driver to it. Which Is my way of doing it. And use a decent XM-L2 on Noctigon.
This flashlight can take 18650 or 26650 batteries right?
and do you want protected or unprotected?
I assume from my research you want to get panasonic or sanyo batteries and of course I need a charger, suggestions on where to buy batteries and chargers I am in the US.
Of course, 10440.
3.6 Volts average anyway.
But it’s that big dye strawhat they all use, with that tiny step up driver without current limiting, just like they all do in that price range.
