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

how fast I got addicted but I bought my most expensive light here, a week ago, on a group buy. Supbeam X40

Now I just have to wait until they all arrive.

Until then I'll just have to suffer spending time with my GF da &j3 kmp OW stop hitting me. I was kidding, honey.

I came across this which you might find interesting.

Use Chrome to browse, select Russian/Русский on the website, then read the reviews.

Especially the second one.

Looks like a very nice light. A couple of bucks more than the Ultrafire F13 from Gearbest which people thought so highly of.

I like the look of that light too. TinyDeal gave a coupon to get that light for $9.99 to the first like 10 or 15 users. Based on the replies in the thread, it seems I was the only taker.

To reiterate what Ric said above.

AR lenses are behind schedule. These are expected in two days.

Group guy lights without an AR lens will ship tomorrow. This is Saturday so I would not expect much action straightaway.

The group buy has been extended until fifty units are sold so there is still plenty of time to grab a light or two. At the moment the website is showing thirty units sold.

That count should not be “units” but “orders”. Many “orders” are for two (2) “units”.

You are quite correct there Mr Sam. There is actually 36 units sold. 14 to go. Cheers.

Do not understand why the Web page for Version C, the only one for YEZL Y3, does not correct the reflector from OP to SMO.

Bought 1 typeB with AR lens, thanks again MRsDNF + RIC for GB.

Same here. I want SMO not OP on my lights.

Want a thrower, not a flooder.

How can that be passed on to Ric?

I hope as well the reflector is smo

Its in the OP guys. The reflector has been confirmed by Ric that it is smooth. If you are totally not convinced I'd suggest to give this GB a miss.

Please ask him why not corrected.

That is excellent news :smiley: Thanks MRsDNF.

I'm sure Ric reads these posts so he may answer your question here. This thread is about the group buy and he has confirmed that the reflectors are smooth.

If you look carefully though his site - lots of issues. for the Y3 C listing, he still says U2 in one place and T6 in another - I left a comment bout a week ago there on the listing page (check it), still not addressed and no answer. I should have mentioned the OP/SMO as well -- it's definitely SMO.... Frustrating....

No one in their right mind would sell this with an OP - it's a born thrower.

I also purchased a version B with AR lens…

This is copied directly from the messengers (being me) pm from Ric.

The led is XML2 U2 emitter.

-One v. C and one lens.

Can’t help it, I gotta see what all the fuss is about. 8)

You are not being blamed for the misinformation. Just pointing out that correcting U2/T6 and OP/SMO is SIMPLE, yet not corrected !?

Hey Steve, you gonna mod these for us? :wink: Big ol hunk of copper under the star or something? Come to think of it, I never did get that copper pill from you that you promised me. lol Jerking your chain man, just jerkin ur chain.

Is there a thread that shows this light broken down? I’d like to see if it indeed needs some extra cooling capabilities so I can get materials ordered if need be. Ready to ramp up it’s power and let her rip! :slight_smile:

It's a thick shelf:

But Dale, no way no how will any stock light be built well enough to handle the amps you'll be serving up Smile. With my BLF DD setup, I think I left the shelf as is, and didn't add any copper under it. Cant' recall - think it was like 5mm or so.
