Group Buy for the GearBest Ultrafire F13 - Closed?

Sure. If you can’t wait and are able to solder a little you could always order a built BLF17DD or BLF20DD from RMM now and install it using an adapter ring as discussed in this thread. Take careful look at my shared projects on Oshpark to select the appropriate boards for you. The 26mm v11 is the most versatile (when filed down to various diameters), but the 22mm v9b will require the least work. You’ll get 3 boards when you order, so it’s up to you to figure out what works best for you.

Awesome, looks like I’ll get some of those now, I’m sure I’ll eventually find a use for three of them.

You all really do make sure no problem goes unsolved! Thanks!

Hi guys, about this flashlight. Sorry for offtopic…

http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_5496.html

What battery can it take ? 14550?

this will take a 14500 or an AA battery.

Thank you, is Sanyo 14500 good?

Sanyo is fine but that cell has no protection. Maybe a new thread so others can benefit from your questions? They’ll never find this information buried here.

Thank you.

I officially hate you all that already received your F13.

You made me laugh out loud. Do you normally have slow mail in Romania [I assume that’s Romania], or is it just a sucky experience this time? I bought into the GearBest dreamcharger GB the other day, so I’ll see how my second experience is with them shipping to the states.

I wouldn’t say it’s unusually slow. Things come from Asia in 10 days or in 40 days or anything in between. It’s a lottery really. Glad I made someone LOL.
Best delivery was when I ordered a 2K monitor from S. Korea. It arrived in 3 days flat and was about 400 dollars, so i guess DHL was included.

HaterTongue Out

I was told by GB that all the lights had shipped. That was a couple days ago. Whatever "all the lights" means, I don't know.

:smiley: nice one OL. It’s not that i blame GB or anyone really, I am sure they shipped but I think that a lot of online stores use freight forwarders in China and that overcomplicates the whole process. It shouldn’t take more than 15-20 calendar days from them to anyone.
And I know this light is a light worth waiting for :heart_eyes:

I trust that by the time mine arrives, everyone will have tried all the various possibilities for improving on it and posted them. No rush about that.

Got my 2 today, after 33 days from order. One came with a 3 AA carrier - weird, the other one came with two 18650 adapters - again weird. Free extra parts I guess.

Lucky you… esp. with the 3AA carrier!!

Need a 3AA and don't want to wait for it to get here from china. Hit a local store and look for 3AA lights on clearance. Something like this:

all of mine came with an extra 18650 sleeve, no holders.

My two arrived in the same envelope: one had an extra 18650 sleeve and the other had nothing IIRC. I could be wrong - I either ended up with 2 lights and 2 sleeves or 2 lights and 3 sleeves - I’m certain that I did not get short changed.

Mine was the same, 2 lights in one envelope with a total of three sleeves

Haha. I know the feeling…

It’s almost a month now and i don’t even know if my F13 had already left China. :frowning:
