STARTED: GBGB: Stainless steel AAA clicky with a clip (CQG S1 "clone")

LOL
Tracking numbers from HK post ended with HK and never began with HK.

By the way I had no HK post parcel since months, do they still exist?

The tracking of any official post, UPU member, has XX999999999YY format, where YY correspond to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country.

Or

But…

HK* is not a HKPost tracking number.*

Always select 'Pony Express', and stock up on sugar cubes.

Ive received numerous HKPost tracking numbers rhat start with HK and also ones that end inHK. Id have to dig through last years emaisl for examples but they are there. 95% sure I got them with FT or BG orders, possibly AuraBuy orders but I did get them and they did work, even on USPS website.

EDit: they could ve “reference numbers” or whatever you guys are calling them b ut they DID work with locating tracking. Again id have yo check my emails and find one then see if its till active with traxking. Might link to the tracking number from the HK* but 75% of the numbers I entered id say, started with HK and all worked on v oth sites as stated

Hi Livinloud

Maybe I’ve recognized many times but I will still tell you the number HK* is not the tracking number but the reference number, and only if the order over 40$ will have the tracking number, or you have tick to get the tracking number when you commanded the order, and this will cost you 1.99$. Hope this response can help you with the problem :slight_smile:

Hi Livinloud. I'm with you on this. It's childish to make others look dumb and to also not help them by providing the information they need. If I treated someone like that, instead of making me feel superior, it would make me feel petty and bad about myself. Maybe it's a vicious cycle of self hate. Who knows.

All I know is that they don't deserve your or my attention.

I went to mail box today and guess what? To my great surprise, I found three white envelopes, containing..

..lights from this GB! :)

Quickly opened one and threw in an AAA cell.. Pretty NW light started to shine.

But that's not all, I faintly remember asking them to leave the SingFire logo away, thinking that there is no way they would do it. After all, they were agreeing to this GB to get SingFire name better known. But - woo-hoo!! - the SingFire logo was absent! (at least in this one sample).

I'll update more initial impressions to this thread soon, as soon as I have any spare time. :)

All in all, very happy now! Thank you GearBest! (and the manufacturer too!)

Nice that the logo was absent. I hope mine don’t have it either.

The first of two arrived today for me as well. No logo, NW.

Great quality, smooth threads, good seam, and a firm clicky(that thing definitely isn’t getting an accidental click!). Mine did come with the led slightly off center, should be fixable with a little tweaking.

Just finished inspecting my lights. No logo on any of them. I'm very happy! :)

Two out of eight of mine did have off-center leds. It's might be either a manufacturing flaw or caused by a bump during the journey from China, but anyways easily fixable:
1. Remove battery
2. Open the bezel
3. Remove O-ring and lens
4. Adjust reflector so that the emitter is centered (just take it away and put back, keeping the emitter centered)
5. Put the lens back
6. Put O-ring back
7. Screw in the bezel

=> Emitter perfectly centered (and user happy) :)

Here's a photo of the off-center emitter:

Squad of GB lights running on alkalines, lead by the CW sample (on Li-Ion)

Edit: One more thing: The NW tint is quite warm, just like in the original CQG S1 v1.

the is the light usable with alkaleaks or is a li-io required?

Perfectly usable with alkaleaks or eneloops. I actually prefer using it on NiMH because it heats up pretty fast on Li-Ions.

I ordered 6 (2 x NW & 4 x CW) on July 8th and my online status is still showing pending. I have sent my order info to bestgear and the CSbestgear handles. Please update order status when you get a chance.

Thanks,

Great news. That's a sharp looking crew of lights there _the_. Thanks for the report and tips.

You are making it hard for me not to order more of these :smiley:

I had ordered a NW one of these a couple days after the coupon was released, and just got it in the mail.

Tint is very nice, and has just the right flood/throw for an AAA size light in my opinion. Threads are good, and the head and tailcap seam together incredibly well.

Thanks, the, for organizing this. I wish I had more money, because I would buy several more for stocking stuffers at this crazy good price.

Man I hope the logo is absent from all of them!

Mine was :slight_smile: I REALLY want to order more…I’m debating lol

Edit: That was quick debating. Ordered 4 more

Lol. Me too. Hmm.. Who else could I gift these to? :D
