I was really wanting something rechargeable. Looks like I’ll have to hunt down some Eneloop’s.
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.
You cant paint the silver lining on clouds, but A for effort.
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.
This flashlight has much more output and throw than a phone flash.
The phone led is pure flood, decent in a pinch for ranges within 3-5ft.
The S1 clone is great from point blank to ~10 yards.
Definitely worth having this flashlight versus a phone led as a flashlight.
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 
Hi guys is this still available on GB?

Purchased two more 30 minutes ago.
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.
its been two days and my order still on processing status is this normal?
my order status didn’t change to shipped till 5 days later
I got one today, nice light.
It is super warm white, nice.
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… 
Nichia 119 does not have a center piece of direct thermal transfer. How would you solder a nichia 119 to the pill? I have many 119s from texaspro and it would be cool if I could do this 
Just search the forum there are many ways to do it, one of the easiest is to tape the center pad with kapton and then reflow it …
Today I received the 2 I orderd.
Lovely little lights.
Was planning on buying 2 more immediately but 1 does not work, so now I’m a little bit reluctant.
Will see if gearbest will reship a working one.
Open it up for a look-see. Mine had a loose + lead to the star. 30 second fix with an iron.
Already did that but didn’t see anything. Didn’t want to mess with it by trying to get it out to look at the other side before gearbest responded. Tried to fix defective lights in the past and well… It didn’t work out that well :zipper_mouth_face:
To illustrate that, I now have an oring from this light lying around and I don’t know where to put it back. I put it around the bezel but when screwing it back on it pushed the o-ring out to the side so I assume that’s not where it should go.
