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

Damn Yankees, they always get their lights first.

I should hope so, as they probably all arrived in the same container to JFK, only 28km from me.

Thats not the only thing they get first.

Got mine today. Overall impressions after a few minutes are good.

Pros:

The light feels solid, but not too heavy.

Knurling feels pretty good. I like aggressive knurling, but this feels like "medium".

All parts fit together well, without any looseness or rattling.

The hotspot seems pretty bright for stock. Subjectively not as small or as bright as a Convoy L4 with a XP-G2 swap, but the sun is out and I have no instruments to measure lux anyway.

17mm forward clicky switch fits without any issues and works well. Simply add a metal washer toward the rear and discard the rubber o-ring toward the front.

The AR lens is flawless to my eyes.

Cons:

There are some chips in the anodizing throughout the body, presumably from being manhandled in transit. Perhaps placing it in a crappy cardboard box (like most Chinese lights ship in) would have greatly reduced these chips.

Stock lens was dirty and had lots of smudges.

All threads were bone dry, so I spent a few minutes lubing everything up. I would've done so anyway, so not really a major issue.

There are some imperfections in my reflector. Looks like some dirt/sand was trapped underneath the layer of chrome(?).

The beam is slightly ringy in the spill zone, but it's pretty mild and tolerable.

Edit: The unit I received has a green o-ring in front of the lens, as well as a green rear switch boot. This was unexpected; I would have preferred plain black, but it's a minor detail.

Mine is Illinois, hopefully it will be here next week

They’re playing with mine in Jamaica, it’s been sitting outside Queens for 3 days according to tracking.

Just emailed RIC - mine was supposedly shipped 7/25 with this tracking #: RF252140216SG, and USPS and 17track.net has no info on it, but looks like 17track.net is broken right now.

Hey that’s singapore… Mine didn’t come out of singapore like Tom’s. I have a feeling I’m going to end up with a locusto

My tracking number also returns no results on USPS.com or the USPS app.

Mine shows in 17track and USPS both, but has been sitting in Jamaica NY for 3 days now. ( A suburb of NYC, near Queens and the Bronx)

Edit: The tracking number on mine is an LNxxxxCN number, left China on the 9th, been in NY since the 12th.

Mine left Jamaica on the 13th around 5pm… Probably get it monday. That’s cool though my sister has a package coming Monday too- so we can talk about it that night while I blind myself a couple of times modding it

Mine is LN417887002CN

It looks like a good number but USPS returns nothing and like Tom 17track.net isn’t working for me, it’s just a dark blue background, nothing else loads.

Oh, my bad. RIC replied to my email a few mins ago. On Aug 7th, CNQ emailed the correct tracking #: LN412947177CN, and it's tracked in USPS out for delivery this morning Smile.

Thanks RIC!!

Mine (RL012118639CN) not even delivered to chinese post office (for over a week) ;(

Jamaica is right in the middle of Queens. My tracking had no entries between arrival at Jamaica and arrival at my local PO 2 days later.

CK, that number says not found in 17track.net. Sorry.

Tom, yours shows out for delivery in 17track as well. You dawg!

Delivered! :party: Congrats Tom!

I think I’ve got a ways to go since I ordered so late. (acceptance on the 14th)

Got both the Y3 with 1 extension, it's AR lens, and the Eagle Eye X6 today! Thay X6 is sure nice

The Y3 was wrapped up pretty well, but no box, as others mentioned. I'd say their are 4 distinct spots/marks with the shiny alum showing - one on the head on the sharp edge, one below the side button on the smooth area, 2 on the tailcap. The 3 I bought from WB had some marks, but maybe not quite as bad as this one and they all came in boxes.

The Y3 measured about 10% lower than my WB Y3, both with the stock glass lens - the CNQ Y3 lens looks foggy, and the focus might be a little worse than the WB Y3. The lens of course will be replaced with the AR one. It appears the tail amps is exactly half with 2 cells: 2.5A on 1, 1.25A on two. I did do the measurements with 2 cells in the CNQ Y3, and 1 cell in the WB Y3, so that's another variable.
