Hey Krono, please put me down for 3 SS/Cu sets, one unboxed, two boxed. thanks
You were lucky. Mine are permanently embedded in the lacquer and not going to come off without some work.
That sounds awesome. I’d buy one.
question. I would like to order an Aluminum set of these. What is the situation with the Chinese New Year? If I place an order for a set today, what happens? Is Banggood still doing business. Will the order go in and they then ship at the end of the New Year? Thanks if anyone knows. Just have to have an Aluminum set for practical use!
We don’t really know what their capabilities are during CNY. I would just expect that they would ship after CNY.
Pls put me on standby ONE set SS/Cu. NO BOX. Thnx.
I might order some more of these after everyone on the list gets theirs / after CNY
do we know if BG is going to continue producing these lights? Or is/was this a limited run only?
Here is a few photos of my lights. They complement my new 1.2W 520nm custom laser very nicely.
Able to get out of the muggle mode. Set to factory default, works that way but sometimes has last mode memory, sometimes it doesn’t. Every time I take the battery out and replace it goes back to config mode. When in factory default can’t get it to config mode by 16 taps, only goes to config mode by replacing the battery.
both of mine go back to factory default when the tailcap is unscrewed or battery is replaced
A trivial question for TK on thermal limit-setting, on the aluminum KX5:
I’ve tried several times, starting with a new, recently fully charged cell from RMM (Windyfire IMR 600 mAh)
The light never gets warm enough to be of concern, I think because the brightness is decreasing as the battery drains, so even sitting on the tabletop, checking by handling every few minutes, it gets comfortably warm then starts cooling off.
So I do the full reset, so I don’t end up with a too-low ‘warmth’ setting.
Is this an oddity, or no surprise?
Put me on stand by please for a non box set please. Thanks
Hi Kronological. please add me to the standby list for 2 more sets, one of each tint. Thanks for all you have done!
Box or no box?
Not doubting you guys but that makes no sense to me. The switches on these lights are mechanical. Clicking them open completely cuts the power. There should be no difference electrically between clicking the switch to its open position or unscrewing the tailcap. I’d love for someone smarter than me to explain what’s going on here.
Noting an oddity — I have a couple of RadioShack “DeWorld” protected 14500 cells.
They’re excessively long, 5.4mm — and they won’t work in the KX5.
There’s one point while screwing the tailcap in where the tail light flickers on and off, but the main emitter does nothing.
When the tailcap is fully screwed down, the tailcap doesn’t light — and the switch will turn the main emitter on, and after that it stays on til the tailcap is removed.
Now I don’t need to use these overlong cells — my WindyFire IMR cells (600 mAh, from RMM) are fine. They’re 4.9mm long.
I’d, uh, just drained all the WindyFires playing so while they were charging tried the RS/DeWorld cell and noted this oddity.
I think I’ve seen this before — situations where a light would come on and stay on til the tailcap was taken off — but don’t recall what’s going on here.
Presumably the springs compressed too far.
Just ‘in case anyone else’
Now switching between default with memory, default without memory, muggle, and config, all without removing the battery. Convinced the driver is faulty. I’ll just replace it, still love the light.
I have been on the #401 spot since I was removed from the main list. Today I find out that I’m removed from that spot also. Whats going on?
I wanted a extra set for my brothers 40 years birthday this year, he loves flashlight.
What have I done now to be removed from the first place on the list, when others can buy so many they want?
Krono please put me down for ss/cu box thank you
Hi Krono, I would prefer boxes, but will take any available.
