YEZL Y3 CNQUALITYGOODS Group buy. 3 Versions. See post 274 for delivery details.

Thanks guys. According to the website 20 orders have been reached. I have noted in the first post that anyone wanting an AR lens will be on the proviso that it is at a good price.

Interested in AR lens too.

Would Tom E please tell us the price of the one from Flashlightlens?

(Sorry if I just forgot.)

Me too…

Pd. I bought only one but I appear twice (# 6 and # 14).

I'll fix it now. Thanks for letting me know.

What size lens does this light have? Or maybe the question is. What size lenses fit? I already have quite few AR lenses and would like to know if any of them will do before ordering.

56,8 mm and no the hd2010 (58 mm) can’t fit.

I’m really undecided right now. Should I buy the Yezl Y3 or the Xintd X3? :slight_smile:

I believe the question would be do you want a single cell light or a multi cell. Life can be so complicated sometimes.

If you can't decide, buy both!

I would think the answer was obvious being as you live in NSW.

What, move states. I heard Tassies a good place.

He would be an outcast with his half of one head.

Tassie is stunning IMO.

First world problems aye :stuck_out_tongue: To me it doesn’t really matter. I’m more concerned about throw, anodizing, build quality and value for money.

That’s what I originally had in mind. But alas I have to choose one. Otherwise I would have bought every single GB light :wink:

Lol :stuck_out_tongue:

Yezl will throw farther.

I've been mulling this over for a while. I already have a couple of nice throwers that see little use (but then it's not really about need is it!)

Trying to curb my spending but also keen to try making an MT-G light and thought this might make a good host. Not much discussion on that topic in this thread unfortunately.

Sorry if this has been asked but do we know the driver size/diameter?

Thanks for pulling this together MrsDNF. Do we know if this is strictly 20 units only or was the talk of 50 more accurate. Don't want to order now but then find out later that they are all gone?

Edit: found here https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/24076?page=2#comment-546578

LED MCPB 25mm
Driver 23mm

Seems to be 23 sold already if the counter on the product page is accurate.

In that case, this clearly is the light for you. The larger reflector will make this a be better thrower. Also, you can't fully drive an xml with one cell. The higher voltage of 2S and 3S cells gives you the overhead you need to fully drive the emitter.

Just make sure you know how to safely use Li-ion in series. A couple more precautions are needed.

It's listed at $7.00 plus shipping - it's a UCLp 56.8mm x 2.25mm. I ordered two and it came to $16.50 total.

Here: http://www.flashlightlens.com/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=UCLp_AR, then choose the size from the pull-down. Yes, they are rather pricey. I'm thinking what RIC has going on here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/27826 sounds interesting for the Y3 as well. His AR lens in the past performed decently in independent tests, not as well as UCLp's but close (https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/20748, https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/19458) and they will certainly be cheaper, free shipping, Int'l shipping, etc. Problem is his stating the min qty of 50, so without someone organizing it, I don't see how this will work out.

The only thing that’s turning me off the Y3 is the low drive current. 2.5A is not much for a host of this size and many members have said that the driver is not modable to increase drive current. And while the two button interface is nice, it does not leave many options for a driver replacement.
