I don’t think it matters but i just noticed that some of my sign ups are wrong, numbers 246,414,415,416 it says Cajampa instead of cajampa.
And i just saw that the sign up is over 500, nice.
They should just make this a regular stocked item, i think the numbers shows that there are enough demand for them just like for the various convoy shorty’s. I mean the EE X6 and the BLF A6 isen’t going to stop selling anytime soon.
In short, no…
I will take care of the name issue tonight thanks! I can say that the items both have SKU’s for the tubes on its individual packaging, so it looks like it will be a stock item. With Simon making short tubes in colors too, it appears the 18350 length is popular for now…
There is some more interesting developments that will be seen in the photos to be posted later…
In for 1 bare A6
Too bad. Simon is not making black. Darn.
who is Simon with? Link?
I found this picture on the other Forum. THIS is the shorty I want!!!

I’m getting a blue host like that. PM me if you want that setup.
Yet…
Simon IS the fellow behind Convoy lights
UPDATED in OP, Pics added…
Interesting, so Astrolux wasn’t just a place holder as somebody claimed it was, it is Banggood’s house brand for when they cooperate with Manker.
I like that A6 + shorty box 
That’s how they should have sold them from the start 
And it likely leads to twice the cell sales for every such lights sold by banggood sneaky 
I did not see where someone had talked about AstroLux before…. Neal just sent me the tubes and said I would be surprised. I was, and the quality is greatly improved, including the anodizing…
I am very happy with the improvements…
Some of the early K6 (now X5) prototypes had the Astrolux branding on them. The organizers of that group buy were told, or at least told us, that it was placeholder text for testing purposes.
This photo taken from the X6/X5 group buy thread:
Offtopic for this thread, but I wonder if that indicates they already plan to selling that X5 as an Astrolux branded light after the gb…
just a dumb question to be clear in my mind about these offerings:
there are (2) different tubes available, one for the A6 and one for the Eagle Eye X6 SE? Is that correct?
thank you!
(sure would be nice in colors)
Yes, two versions, one for BLF/Astrolux threads and one for Eagle Eye threads
You can have any color you want, as long as it is black…. (or bare)
Thanks for filling in, i am bad at remembering exactly where or who said what when, with all of this info flying around
And just to clarify, I don’t know Astrolux is a Banggood house brand with Manker, i am just assuming it is.
And i hope you are right about a future X5 from Astrolux it does make sense
The shorty’s are up on banggoods site now
I guess we are still waiting for a code though.
Hmm, what in the world is an Astrolux S1?
Banggood has the short A6 tubes already listed and in stock for 4,90$!
“(not included the flashlight)”, but what about the clip?
Is there a need for a code?
I think the code is for the 18350 battery.
No the GB where a doing here in this thread are for the short tubes for $4.
Of course you can buy them without the GB discount code though if you don’t mind paying the extra $0.9
Here is the Astrolux S1
It is the light ReManG showed in the OP
The OP is updated, the Tubes are $2.50 with the code and Convoy s2+ short tubes are almost that low cost for those that want them.
Neal and BangGood made this happen….
Sorry, the BLF A6 shorty listing dosen’t work.
When i try to get them in the chart it never gets there.
Please ask Neal to fix the listing.
Nice about the lower price, i guess 500+ signups got them a bit cheaper to produce
