It appears that my account shows 2 lights ordered, but I only ordered one. Is this what it looks like if you order just one light?

Please mark me down for an AR lens.

EDIT: Cancelled the mystery order in the first row above. I probably just accidentally ordered another one. I think I recall losing my internet connection while I was placing the order.

I was going to order, but then I noticed OP reflector and aluminum-mounted LED… XinTD X3 is SMO with LED on copper, is driven harder at stock, smaller, lighter…

Don’t get confused - the Y3 is definitely SMO, not OP - no doubt, 100% sure, etc… The X3’s copper is the cheap kind sold at DX, FT, and other places - it’s not bad though, better than aluminum. Here’s the #’s I measured:
Yezl Y3 (from WB), on fresh EVVA KK cell: 2.50A tail, 830 OTF, 61 kcd  (no issues)
XinTD X3 (from Group Buy):

1. - 2.85A tail, 972 OTF, 47 kcd  (reflector imperfections around the emitter - doesn’t seem to effect anything)
2. - 2.85A tail, 952 OTF, 45 kcd  (not centered LED, quick drop in output noticed in 1st second)
   The X3 is more pocketable but the heavier weight may be an issue to pocket. I see and read of more quality problems with the X3’s for sure.
   Here’s some weight measurements I just did:
   Yezl Y3 #1: 287g, Yezl Y3 #2: 290g
   XinTD X3 #1: 300g, XinTD X3 #2: 297g
   Stock HD2010: 292g

Ah, that’s interesting that the Y3 is lighter while being larger. The bigger reflector definitely makes this one a better thrower, thanks.

Just ordered Version B of the Yezl Y3, I think. I was logged in at cnqualitygoods.com and used PayPal, but it was one of those instances where PayPal kinda hangs up and doesn’t finalize. So I cancelled in PayPal and was returned to the page asking to pay. Clicked it, went back into PayPal and it went through. Then it returned me again to cnqualitygoods.com and it said the paid failed.

So I’m not exactly sure I got Ver B ordered…

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

Order is confirmed. Thanks Ric and Steve, looking forward to this one.

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

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.

Thanks for the link.

I agree, min. qty of lenses = max. qty of lights available. We'd have to buy 100% of the lights and get 100% participation for the lenses. Very unlikely.

Since this is being discussed here…I put an UCLp in my Courui and took it from 341.25Kcd to 369.25Kcd, not bad for a lens swap!

I also ordered one. Had the same message about failure after the payment went through, but I had that with other orders recently, too, but those got shipped anyway.

[CarbonCrew]

Ordered a Version A!

It may pay to contact Ric if your not sure. I dont know how accurate it is but if you go into order note it has a list of people who purchased the light. If theres any hassles let me know.

There is only 22 lights shown as ordered. This does not sound right to me. It may pay to check with Ric or again check on the webpage under order note.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

I just checked the notes and it’s showing a total of 25 lights ordered. Including mine.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

You have 24 lights/names listed in post one, but you don’t have mine in there. So there’s the 25 they show on the site page.

[fellfromtree]

Ah cool they shipping these out?

[light_dispels_darkne (light dispels darkness)]

Already ordered a light. I am interested in 2 ar lens.

[Tom_E]

Mine shipped Friday w/tracking. Nope, wasn't really shipped!!

[MRsDNF]

@Tom E

Mine shipped Friday w/tracking.

That's good to hear. How were you notified that it had been shipped?

[ImA4Wheelr]

I'm listed twice, but I only ordered one. Slot 22 should not have my name. Please add the "+ 1 AR Lens" to slot 13.

My apologies, fixed.

It always says 'Payment failed' on CNQG, always actually went through in my experience.

I really like this and was thinking of doing an MTG2 conversion. A bit concerned that the reflector won’t give the MTG2 all it’s glory and will narrow the flood too much. Thoughts?
