Deal alert XP-G R5 16340 $4.13 and FandyFire STL-V6 $29.58 (Lightscastle anniversary sale)

Yep!

i bought the 16340 flashlight, i already have one in NW that i like. i also have 2 more; one with a greenish tint that i don’t like too much, and one is more purple, but with a donut in the hotspot. i hope i get one like my favorite one…
i also bought the 3-mode AA flashlight and a 502B, i have been thinking about buying one of those for a while, hopefully the quality is ok.

didn’t need any of those, just couldn’t stop myself from buying them :zipper_mouth_face:

Thanks for the heads up! Love tiny little 16340 lights!
Looking forward to everyone’s thoughts/ experiences with this one. Also, never bought from lightcastle, perfect place to start - 4 dollar order….curious to see if I will be buying more from them.

eta: I think I see the BLF effect in action!

I. have one of the 16340 lights I got from Ebay.
I think it was $7. The beam is greenish. :frowning:
For $4 I might try one of these :slight_smile:

You know…you guys are why I’m broke :slight_smile:

JSN!

(just say no)

NO!

Okay I got this.

….

YES… Son of a…

My mind is telling me no, but my body, my body is telling me YES!

:D

Line/quote:

I have said NO to the Convoy L4 for several days now! NO NO NO. Yea, I want one BUT …. I have several C8s already. It’s a great light, at a great price, and they have sold like 50 of them to us. I’m still saying NO! I even filled out the website order page and put in the coupon code, but closed the page before ordering it , that’s the secret!

I want the Niwalker Nova MM15 for $220, over 5000 lumens! Hoo-yah!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Got the STL-V6 a couple of months back from Lightscastle for the same price. So this isn’t a special deal it seems.

Still it’s a great price for the light. The STL-V6 is a decent quality light which can be modded to throw like crazy. I do have most of the parts in, but don’t have the time yet to mod it.

I do a dance like that… except its everyone else thats telling me NOOOOO!!!

I got my three 16340 lights 5/19, one DOA.

The others are very nice except for the worst centering ring I've ever seen, opaque black, 3.5mm high. I replaced it with one of the clear ones from FastTech and output apparently doubled.

I don't see how to open the pill.

Hi,

I got the Smiling Shark ones from BG awhile ago, which I think are the same. On mine, the pill just screws out from the battery end of the head. There are two holes in the driver that I can use with tweezers to unscrew it.

Thanks, I tried that yesterday, couldn't budge it. No sign of glue as far as I can see. From the front, the shelf the LED sits on unscrews a bit until it feels like the LED leads are twisting up preventing removal. I'm guessing the driver or contact board it press fit, the shelf portion is screwed in, then the LED is dropped in and soldered.

Still waiting on my 4 –16340 lights going on 41 days now , glad to see some of you are getting yours :open_mouth:

i got mine some days ago.
i liked the looks, size and style of the 502B
the 3-mode AA flashlight felt nice as well, and the 16340 was so-so. the centering ring was awful, created a dark halo around the hotspot. so i cut it down and the results got better.
i have 3 similar 16340 flashlights bought from banggood earlier. The first one that i got had a nice NW tint, so i bought a couple more. unfortunately one had a greenish tint, and the other a violet tint. i changed one of them to a xp-e just for fun, and the other one should also be modded into something better when i have inspiration/parts/time.

Turns out mine got sent back and reshipped , guess I’ll wait another 41 days :Sp

Flashlights got frequent flyer miles! 8)

We’ll my lights finally showed up in the mail, 2 months and 9 days ,if only the package could talk what a story it could tell :expressionless:
