12% with 10annv12%

The price was so good I had to get a plain SS and a colored SS one, each with a respectively matching extension tube. :smiling_imp:

Edit: It looks like they didn’t intend the coupon to work on the pre-orders. I got charged more via PayPal than it was showing in my cart. It looks like the coupon doesn’t work on them at all now. I got $6.96 off with the coupon (which is 12% off the color SS + the two tubes). In my cart before I started checking it was showing $11.52 off. Oh well…

Ordered

Thanks freeme for the groupbuy and Bruno28 for the tip!

So… I dunno much about the different coatings. I THOUGHT (and I’m probably completely wrong, but wanted to ask) that the colored model was somehow a treatment applied to the stainless steel. However, the listing claims that the material is “Constructed from aero grade aluminum alloy Colored + Copper” on the colored version, with “HAIII military grade hard-anodized” coating. It also lists the weight as 90g without the battery.

When I compare that to the Stainless version, “Material : Constructed from Stainless Steel + Copper” The features list claims:

and also lists the weight as 90g.

I think someone needs to check the listings, because now I’m confused.

I got a silver and coloured too. And I went to try your code and they don’t allow now. It’s been marked as promo and you can’t apply codes to promo.

Yeah, it looks like they caught it right as I was checking out. It worked on the two tubes and the colored SS version, but didn’t on the normal SS as I got $6.96 off. Before I started the checkout process it was showing $11.52 off in my cart.

Ordered Plain SS Nichia + Tube.
Thanks freeme.

Preordered.
Plain G3 + tube

If I am not mistaken the $38 price is public, not just this forum. Also looks like the $38 price is only for the first 500 sold.

Are the 18650 tubes available?

Pre-order placed for

ONE Astrolux S41S - Nichia 219B

and

ONE S41S 18650 Extension Tube Silver

Thanks for setting this up!

I have taken some beam shots for you guys to compare with. I will post it up within half a day time.

Want to see tint / lumen difference between the xpg2 and xpg3 before ordering

Ordered before the price goes up. Now the long wait begins.

Is the Efest 18350 Purple a good battery for this? 10.5 amp discharge.

Yes, it is.

But this one gives the light even higher output (measured):

Here is a cell comparison:

Nice one thanks, ordered the enerpower bad bay. Going to be a long wait now for the light arriving.

Ordered standard SS Nichia + Tube $45
Thanks !!!

Freeme did it!
(Well to be honest $70 is a tad … high but we know vendors like to show “from $XX, now only $YY!”
It seems a lot of people think $YY is a better price then.
Too bad the “from” price is not $76. Then I could tell my wife it was free. “honey I got this for free, I used the 50% discount amount to pay for it” lol

Though not cheap I find this cool enough to have ordered one with tube, thanks.

Pre-Order placed for a Nichia S41s colored and colored 18650 tube.

I used their anniversary code 10annv11 and got an additional $0.99 off. Paid for my shipping insurance.

$51.03 USD

Someone should try 10annv99 and see if they get 99% off…. - tried, didn’t work. Also won’t give the $0.99 off for me anymore.

Ordered too… with 18650 tube. Comes to like $68 CAD with the 12% discount code 10annv12%.
I’m in trouble.
Ha!

Ordered standard SS Nichia + Tube
Thanks !!!
