This was bought as a single cell - note the big inductor for buck circuitry. Nice flat pill top, single piece uni-body style and easy access to the pill top. Massively thick pill top I might add...
In this thread: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/24076, post #77 has stock measurements I made, post #86 has the prelim mod #'s and post #117 had final #'s, after the UCLp upgrade. My #'s may be a little high (optimistic?) but I use the very best cell I have, actually the Powerizer may be the best cell in existence - too bad you can't buy them anymore.
Thanks for the great pic Tom. It looks extremely robust. Is the stock mcpcb thicker than a noc or sinkpad? If so, any issues with reflector seating after the swap?
Oh boy - the mod was done a while back, this pic is from back then. I'm thinking it worked ok - using a lower profile centering piece, and possibly thicker MCPCB, but I believe these bigger MCPCB's are already fairly thick, in the 1.5mm range, close to a Noctigon or SinkPAD. For some stupid reason, I don't have many pics from the mod and the light is sold off to a relative, hunting/fishing activity. I can find out a little more from the stock lights I have.
Stock Yezl Y3 white wall beamshot here in the M12 review in the OP: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/27258. Don't think you can tell much, but, it's a wall beamshot...
I saw the “Bang good” header so I went and signed up.
Great!
I was sent a 5% off Coupon with the code #5b3733.
I ordered a item for $26.99. I entered the code and the pop-up said “Not Valid” and I ordered the item because my wife of 49 + years wanted it.
So, what is the deal?
My order number is #2612912, I paid with Pay Pal.
What to do?
I’ve ordered Version C of the group buy at cnqualitygoods.com.
The original YEZL Y3 product page has XM-L2 U2 in the title line but XML-2 T6 for the LED description. Both are XML2 but different bins.
I ordered anyway and expect it to work out.
Oh - on the CNQ product page? It's always been XM-L2 as far as I know, and pretty sure it's an XM-L2 T6 1A. RIC's website is crazy, whacky, frought with errors all over the place. I just went through some things, and boy, so many blank pics, wrong descriptions, conflicting info -- it's a mess. Thinking of ordering parts but worried I'll get the things I order...
I'm confident we are good with the group buy, just that the product listing has some mistakes and lots of missing details.
