If those numbers are correct, then yes, it would be the same as the Reylight and the Tool. I do not have either of those though, so I am relying on the description you posted.
Cool! I just ordered a Astrolux A01 (4000K), to go along with my upcoming orders of the BLF348 (5000K). I love Nichia 219’s! They’re not as bright or efficient as Crees, but for small lights they’re great. I have no idea if the GB for the Astrolux is still on, but as was earlier mentioned, the current BG price isn’t much different than the GB was.
Yes it is still on, and the main difference is if a new attachment point can be brought to life. The possibility of a copper and a stainless steel version is afloat as well…
The stock ones with the code are still a great light, so do not wait if you want one…
I just got in my other two I ordered after I gave away the other ones I received for a review. They look great and seem to be the same quality of the ones sent for review. Still an impressive little light.
Heh, how about that! I just got in my order last week for the cheaper price. I think I’d still have ordered at the $11.95 price, but it’s nice to get it a couple bucks cheaper.
FYI, I opened up two of my lights to have a look at both the 219B and the 219B-V1 from the side when already mounted. And yes, I can confirm that you can differentiate the two in that way. The 219B really shows small metall areas on the sides of the cathode and anode, where the 219B-V1 does not. You have to look closely though, because it’s the place where some excess solder comes out with most of the boards.
I checked my A01 and took a crappy photo with my cellphone and an old Sipik 68 lens as a macro. It did not come out clean but it does show that the LED is a V1 219B, no exposed metal…
