The stock ones that are at Banggood now, have the normal hole like in the pictures. When this group buy goes on, we are hoping to get a larger hole and redesigned attachment point. Cost should be the same for the aluminum, copper will be $20 or under.
Looks like I have to order a couple to a few of these after CNY. Mine has tried to walk away three times already...and it has been all girls because it is "so adorable"
I received my A01 yesterday, popped an Eneloop into it and … nothing.
Tried another (freshly charged) Eneloop … nothing.
Peered into the tube to check the contacts, everything looked clean.
Then I remembered what had happened with my blue Convoy S2 short tube. There was an infinitisimally small amount of anodization that had crept over the edge, blocking contact.
So, I tried sanding the edge of the body tube down. 10 seconds worth of effort. Voilà! It worked!
The copper version is a perfect candidate now that we know that we can use a 10440.Not sure if there is DTP underneath the emitter but this light has much modding potential in a copper version.
Stainless would be a nice addition to keep in stock form if they can handle all the different requests with colors etc.
Either way...if the SF-348 can do 2000 units this can do at least 1000 if not as much as the SF-348. It is most definitely worth the dough.
1dash1, thanks for the update on your light, the anodizing colors can be oversprayed….
I am on a business trip and will not be able to update this thread until Friday. Anyone posting, I should have the lid updated by then. Thanks for the patience with this…
