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

same here I hope I will get it this week.

I received mine yesterday and it did have two postage's on it. One from when it got sent out and returned and the second one for the second time it got sent.

Mine arrived today. :bigsmile:

Glad that I ordered a lens the stock one is foggy…

If it’s not too late, put me down for 1 “B” and 1 extra AR lens. Whom do I pay and what is their PAYPAL address? Thank you.

I just was outside and shined along my way and I like this light a lot. Thanks for the Group buy. The lens is really nice, thanks ric for comin up with that. I would order another lens just for spare if someone could tell me how to select tracked shipping in the shop…

Just for reference I also can influence the output by the used batteries. I tested Ncrb, 26650, lg 4.35V cells and each gave 5% more output.
So the regulating seems to be a bit voltage depending. A quick measurement gave around 800lm and 48kcd so that seems in the range others have mentioned.
The driver is really smart, works with one to 3 batteries and has undervoltage protection for each amount of cells. I am impressed.

Have I understand it correct that a resistor mod don’t works for one cell use?

And another question: what is that?

Or better why was this in my envelope? Have I missed something.

It appears you have a bonus werner.

With my very limited testing you may well get a slightly higher output on on battery using the higher voltage cell.

Tons of tiny scratches on mine :-/ Got it today. Package looked fine, so I assume scratched before transportation.








It looks like you need to get out the white king and turn your light naked. I had the same mark on one tailcap but thats all I could see without putting them under the microscope. Mine are definitely not as bright as my HD2010 running at 5 amps. I have a large star coming for the MTG-2 so will wait for it to come in before I mod it. Now to go and find Tom E thread on how to strip these.

white king? What is that? I never de-anodized a light or any outside parts before.

I could not find greased lightning here in Australia so went looking for an alternative. White King had the same active ingredient. Its a clothes bleach. I dont know how it compares to anything else but has worked on everything I've used it on for de-anodising.

On a separate note did the driver pull out straight past the switch boot? Mine seems to be stuck there for some reason and dont want to break anything which l am quite adept at.

I have the same idea, got a noctigon with mt-g2, then off to CK to put in his new driver.

Which driver?

BLF 15 & 17dd-PIC v1.0
The driver shows alot of potential.

I was reading a thread the other day where the driver had the tabs like the standard one or maybe that was the standard board with this piggybacked on?

Do you have a link to the thread perhaps?

Got the R090s today from mouser. The light is pretty sick dedomed. I can only run it one cell right now cause it trips the protection on the batteries with 2 or 3 cells

I might take off the protection just to see what it can do on 3 cells. But from what I seen one cell is pretty damn good. Have the sense at .045 wight (you smart bastard heheh)

I had the other light come in from gearbest too the other day. I just took parts off both to make a perfect yezl. I noticed the one from gearbest had a cheaper eswitch on it that stuck out. Not like the one from cnqualitygoods which is flush with the light and looks slick.

Anyways good deal. I’ll have a mt-g2 in the other one when that led comes in from rmms shop. I have a copper noctigon coming too but I’m not sure if I even need it. It seems to be getting good sink action from the reflector and pill as it is. I de-domed the other one for practice too. It’s actually really easy using the lights own heat, peel it off one side at a time…

Thanks for the help though, I couldn’t have done it without you guys. Really happy with just one cell, seems out of control bright with 3 but cuts out in a second or so. I’m not sure why it cuts out on 2 and 3 cells but not one. Let me do a reading on the cap.

Edit

Read 3.2a tail with 2 cells bypassed… I guess gonna have to get some good cells and then I can be like that kid in the ad to the left

This is not the one I was thinking of. I'm not sure where to look for the other. Maybe its in this thread somewhere.

Hhmm - I don't recall having any problems with that. Dunno, really wondering if the earlier ones I bought from WallBuys were a better quality batch, and better quality in the assembling. They seemed to perform better, no nicks/scratch's to speak of, etc. I'm sure though the recent one I did from RIC was fine - don't recall any probs pulling it out and resistor modding it.

Ohhh - I got a bunch of the super copper stars (MaxToch) on order from BangGood. Both the XML and MT-G2 26 mm's sound perfect for this light!!
