BLF Kronos X6/X5 GB - Group Buy now closed.

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!

OK. I do apologize for airing my dirty laundry. Was just upset because a fairly legitimate issue was met with a $3 offer. I just want a tailcap. Not a token.

They are beauties and they are HEAVY.

Box were not damage at all, but the X5 were out of its slot and riding on top of the X6 when I open the box.

Guess it was flinging inside the box during shipment and causes a scratch and ding on the X5.

Maybe in the next such GB it would be good to secure the lights in their slots.

Hey, really appreciate the time and effort that Team Kronos sacrificed for doing this. Thank you.

People have a variety of opinions on flashlight grease… I find that “Super Lube” (PTFE / Teflon grease) works well, and it has virtually no interaction with anything.

Note that the copper is coated to keep it shiny. I’m not sure what the coating is, but people will likely want to know how to preserve it and how to easily remove it. Dale stripped one of his, but it sounds like it was a lot of effort.

I hope you’ll be able to get a replacement part. The pics you posted showed a clearly botched piece. Keeps us posted, okay?

I’d pull one out of my hat, but unfortunately the only thing I can summon forth from the ether is code. :frowning:

Thought I could buff and polish off the dings, now with the coating it’s not feasible. Your info came at the right time.

Ah, but the code you summon is so sweet. :slight_smile:

Do you have the runtime for the x6 with a 30Q battery also?

Not at all Jack. I’ll make what I said simpler for you. The people who do all the work on these group buys would be entitled to profit from them. Even $5 a light would make them a little money, and all of us would be more than happy if they did. They don’t want to. They put in A LOT, so all of us can have great lights. When someone else, usually a new member who has not contributed, tries to re-sell these for a profit to other members, yes, I find that despicable. It goes against my sense of right and wrong. Get it?

The individually-generated coupons were there to make sure each person could get the amount they reserved, to make sure nobody tried to scalp them in bulk then re-sell them. But after the reservations are filled, it’s really just up to people to do whatever they want.

Did you see the prices people listed for reselling the BLF A6 on Amazon? Kinda crazy, but predictable.

Unfortunately it is predictable. That doesn’t make it right.

i think i would sell my self before i sell my lights! lol

Hank, here is a picture. Kind of hard to photo and hold everything in place but you can see what I’m trying to say.

Needle nose pliers or similar with narrow tips are best because of the small amount of clip movement. Try to get as high up towards the bend as you can. When striking with hammer, try to hit just above the pliers. Spring steel is pretty difficult to bend so it might take a pretty good wack. When finished the clip will now have two bends and the gap will be much larger.

ok frank i agree i got ya

but there are only 400 lights most members not new and there is not much to make i think there are 100 ways to make faster and easier money. buy adidas sneakers for 200usd sell them online to a million strong crowd for 600. jsut for example NMD R1 they nearly killed the staff for this shoes and it was all over the news here thats why i know of this.
