I wonder if the clip comes installed?
Reason is because I may never use the clip so removing it if it comes installed will probably damage / scratch it…
The clip is pre-installed. Removing it might cause only very minor scratches. Removed mine a couple of times and the light is still looking good in my eyes. :)
I also took the clip off, and on, and off, and again i.i.r.c. without visible damage.
Btw, i just took mine apart by unscrewing the bezel, and i find a nice glass lens, an aluminium reflector, a g.t.i.d. O-ring, a (looks like) teflon washer, XP-E on tiny (8mm?) alu MPCB, and a tiny brass pill with a tiny driver.
A spring pushes the pill forward.
Mine does glow, a little… I have seen better, or maybe too little light hits it, dunno…
I got it from dealsmachine when it was on special offer.
Another CW (i suppose) from DX on the way and two NW of this deal.
(ordered seperately because the coupon only worked for 1 item at a time)
Not much to tell that isnt on the other GB thread. Packages shipped with THIN single layer of bubble wrap “tapped” to the host, no padding at all, thin boxes crushing due to no padding, over anodizing threads causing connection issues, connection issues causing HORRIBLE driver whining, loose/bad cut threads, oversized battery tube causing battery rattle, packages NOT shipping even with the 5 day promise, invalid tracking, etc……
Now add to this GB and MY current issues. Purchased last Monday (7/11), shipping notice on Friday (7/14), tracking still not working and when I just checked again I got this message “NOT RECOGNIZED”………so did I get a BS tracking code just to fake the shipment? Honestly GB could have a 95% success rate with the ‘dreamcharger’ but they arent doing so well with the XintD or this GB, IMO. It could be that only people with issues are speaking up but I havent seen many “success” posts.
Just check the order page on GB and I have various contradicting messages. Tracking bar on the top is at “pending”, order status is listed as “shipped out”, no tracking number on the page and also received a “shipped” email last Friday as stated above. So which one is it? Not hard to have everything coordinate, thing that erks me is that one the SAME PAGE, it shows contradicting info. Its like really? Cant even get the same page to agree with your info? Just not great IMO. I’m hoping its due to large volume and I do end up getting my package without issues but I’m not holding my breath anymore
Only time will tell but I’d like to know about my tracking and shipment
