Thanks for the replies - both are very helpful. The driver ring looks like it is the right size - it’s worth a shot, for sure, and if it doesn’t work, I still have the option of soldering directly to the pill.
Cheers!
Looks like it’s time to file a claim. I never got my five pills even though I paid for tracking. Uggg. Gear Best has about a million shipping options when ordering… and I’ve usually had good results with the US direct option. It gets here in about two weeks… But I’d recommend people staying away from whatever carrier this is…

Just an FYI.
Any luck with this yet?
I PMed their CS department here on Monday and haven’t received a response yet. I also posted in their CS thread last night and haven’t heard anything yet. I emailed the company that that tracking number is for, and here is what they said…
Edit: So they contacted me this morning. They want to refund me $13 when I paid almost $30 for the pills. Jesus Christ. I mean there’s obvious proof they never arrived or probably never even shipped out… And they’re pulling this.
So either avoid the priority US shipping option or just avoid these clowns altogether. I was willing to accept that maybe they dealt with some issues with untracked stuff… But maybe they just don’t ship stuff out because of inventory issues… Then forget to ever ship it out. I literally have no idea, but having tracking information now leads me in the direction that it might be their fault.
You’re welcome Gear Best.
So nothing has changed with them, Paypal claim is the only way to deal with them when items are not delivered.
I wonder how many people are scammed out of their money this way, when they are forced to accept either 50% refund or to pay 50% more to get items re-shipped.
They finally replied again and offered a complete refund to my GB wallet. This is after I raised issue that the item was pretty obviously never shipped to the carrier. That is unless the carrier is being dishonest, which I doubt given Gear Bests shipping history. It’s pretty irritating. I want a paypal refund honestly, because I don’t think if I reordered these items I’d ever get them.
My 2 pills showed up the other day and they had all the parts included.
Sweden surface mail ,Tracking never worked
HTH

Green & Red Brynite B152 are $20.32 no coupon needed.
Hi Willie,
Do you recall what shipper you used. Sounds like insured, tracking and PayPal is a must.
Price dropped again. $19.73
Very good quality light for under $20! Hmm, do I need 2 more??? Must resist.
Are there any remote controls for Brynite 158?
Now available modules for b158 green and red, fantastic price !

Price drops eaven more with code, PM me for code if interested !

So, what’s the best deal ATM for the XPL-HI version + 2 modules red+green ?
just currious what is green led use for?
Same as red, for hunting…
Hunters by default want more green than red at least in my case.
But I check both of them and red is 2x better.
coupons have expired. Are there new ones for brynite with green emitter? Thanks!
They have the B168 and it’s an OK light but needs modding for $16 bucks, http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_304534.html?wid=21
Quality is great, search Gearbest or look here for Pablo’s deals for Gearbest and ask him to see about a code for brynite lights, there’s some decent ones for decent prices right now, I just looked.
Or I could sell you my B168 and you can mod it, ha ha, I’m to lazy and got it for dirt, so really couldn’t even sell it in good conscience.
