I got mine today! Great item!!! I have a question. How do I open the tailcap? My friend wants the button to be out more. He says it is hard for him to press it. Any suggestions?
It better than having it turn on in your pocket and find the cell dead when you need it.
I got one NW yesterday, arrived DOA. Thanks for the photos of dis-assembly, I quickly found that the positive lead came off the star. Looks like a cold solder joint that let go in transit. A tiny dab of flux and a touch with the soldering iron fixed it. Great light for the price. Probably best with Ni-MH unless you only use short bursts. Thanks _the_ & GB.
Yea I’ve bought from ChibiM before. Great prices. I really just need a 2-pack as I don’t have anything that really runs on AAA’s. If I can’t find any online, I may give him a shout.
I only have big flashlights (18650 and XML)… So I have no idea how bright these little things are.
To give me an idea, how does this light compares to the LED on my Iphone? I wanna know if it is worth it to have this light in my pocket for indoor use or if it’s not better than my phone.
Received my NW today— its beautiful, and output is fine on Duracells.
Nice and slim body.
Just wish the clip was stiffer.
It will be fine for thicker garments; not so much for shirt pockets.
Hi Mayhem
I have checked your order number and your post have been shipped on 18th July, I will PM you your tracking number later
Sorry for being late to reply
Even tho I have 8 original S1’s ordered from Ric I just purchased another two of these (CW’s this time) I’ll be swapping in Nichia 119’s (with factory drivers) and using these as new lights for the kids/ around the house.
I am unsure which one I got but I guess it’s the light I won in the FIFA world championship, it came with Belgium post? And the adress label was glued over the customs declaration, not on the opposite site like usual…LOL
Very fast delivery 8 days…
