Okay so my number is 349
I do not have any of that number i have 330 for the copper and 334 for the stainless that was good work by BG lol if any one wants to swap let me know no rush i have to wait till i get paid to ship any ways!
I love the x6 who ever told me it isn’t much of thrower needs to get there eyes checked it easy out throws the convoy c8 and its even looking good against the BLFD80 but when saying that its not going to see the outside world much lol i think i will buy a alloy set when i get money.
still have not tried the X5 i am waiting for my 14500 to arrive!
i love this set they will get stored in some thing safe maybe i will make a perspex case for it so i can see them glowing use protected batteries so they do not run out and cause damage…

For my X6 I got #400 :)

i did not mean that. Not as an investment but he said its despicable to hope to keep value or get returns. most people who buy a car check what will be the resale value right ?? /

this lights made so solid and so easy to upgrade mod or else that you can use them for a long long time. and some see them as a collectors set and everyone who collects something is hope of appreciation not only monetary in a monetary way.

i read it as he said its despicable that so many people put their afford in this project and then some cvome and buy and hope for profit. if thats despicable never buy any stocks because thats exactly what you doing there putting money on others ideas and hope they been good.

does any know about maintenance with these lights? what can i use to oil the threads is it the same as a normal light? or will a petroleum based lube cause problems with tarnishing? seeing its not alloy oil can east away at the flashlight?

Wow I just powered up my little x5. What a beast. I can’t believe how powerful this thing is. And great throw for a little light. How does it compare to the blf a6 beam wise?

Anything that is a limited production item, especially the first of its kind, is going to increase in value. Period. If you don’t like the economics, use them and enjoy them. If you don’t like it when people make money, think about your own profit and decide where to donate.

If those two statements don’t apply to you, welcome to the club that I’m in! We like amazing things, we like to use them, we understand basic economic principles, and we understand that sometimes you choose to keep something you were fortunate enough to get at the right time and place and sometimes you choose to profit from the situation based on need or desire.

Nothing is wrong with any of the options. We all choose to proceed as we see fit, no judgement is necessary.

Completely different of each other. The A6's sheer power really lights things up but this X5 has essentially the same power factor with the updated driver so it comes down to SMO reflector and XPL-hi vs OP reflector and XPL.

Doesn't matter....you need them both ;)

Yeah that’s what I am thinking now after getting this set. My first blf GB was a huge success. Thanks everyone

I’m actually shocked and insulted by the response to my knurling issue. I’ll keep following up to get a replacement. I normally wouldn’t mention anything but am pissed by the customer service so far.

I’m assuming you mean banggood, what did they say?

Nope, that only turns it off. Technically, it sets the heat ceiling to 255. Then after going up to full power it actually measures the temperature and stores that instead. It keeps reading and storing the temperature every couple seconds as long as it stays on in that mode. So, when you turn it off, the new ceiling is whatever it last saved while it was running in unlimited turbo mode.

To set a new ceiling, you actually have to get it hot… and a 3.2V cell isn’t going to get it hot.

At full power, the X5 run time is only like 10 minutes. Dale’s quad would run out of power at like 4 minutes.

Aren't they on holidays?

I’m not upset about the wait. It’s the response. Basically, no big deal, how about $3?

That is standard CS. Wait until Neal helps come up with a solution.

That was Neal.

The only solution to me is a replacement tailcap.

We (I) will see what we can do after CNY. That may have been Neal or an assistant .... not sure. This much I do know... Even though your knurling is fowled up they have been buried with the BS stuff and that is going to play a part in anything from here on...if anything from here on. Just because things are not being posted do not believe for a minute that people are not making attempts to get refunds, discounts etc etc and that is going to make it harder for the few that have issues.

I just tried it to be sure, and mine keeps its memory regardless of tailcap. It can’t even tell the difference between whether I use a tailcap or a paperclip to connect the power.

Congrats, I had thought that would be a cool number to get!
