Ok, following that route, whoever is interested could try here too
This is all a matter of speaking to the guy who pays for the batches to be made. The factories can buy neutral (~3A/D tint) emitters and stick them on the lights the next day if they wanted to. The question is whether Jim is the guy to do it. I can pretty much guarantee they sell out of neutral versions of popular light like this one.
I wonder what the heck is simplified chinese opposed to traditional. Nothing simple about it i can tell. Apparently it uses 10.000 pictograms instead of 200.000. Simplified.... right... XD
From wiki:
The common belief that all Chinese varieties are mutually comprehensible when written is false. Although Chinese speakers in disparate dialect groups are able to communicate through writing,[14] this is largely due to the fact non-Mandarin speakers write in Mandarin or in a heavily Mandarin-influenced form, rather than in a form that faithfully represents their spoken language. Cantonese is the only non-Mandarin spoken variety that is commonly written using Chinese characters, and its written form is quite different from written Mandarin. Characters are chosen to represent Cantonese words based on etymology, and may differ greatly in their meaning as compared to modern Mandarin. In addition, many Cantonese characters are archaic in a Mandarin context, and hundreds (perhaps thousands)[clarification needed] of new characters have been created specifically to represent Cantonese-only words (e.g. borrowed words and grammatical particles).
I give up any attempt to learn something althrough i've been thinking seriously to do a course in "standard" Chinese if such thing even exist.
5% of 200000 is 10000 . So pretty simplified.
English language has around 500.000 words

It does. Mandarin is what's taught and spoken in K-12+ in all of china, which is about as standard as it gets. Local dialects, even cantonese, are likely going to be obsolete in a couple generations with greater migration within the country.

I have it, very nice, 1400 (regulated), 440 and 70mA. Mid is great for walks. My regular.
Very few lights make me say ' I NEED THIS'. This one does it for me. How the heck can I get one!!??
Nice, thanks for letting us/me know.
This is a option
Using a Taobao agent. There are many agents. They add their fee and tell you the shipping costs.
' I NEED THIS'. - I said that too.
The light is about $46 - 100%-50%-5% Modes and you got too choose from 2 Amp or 2.5 Amp driver.
I'd say it's not that cheap.
The head is 46mm, I think that would be a 41-40mm reflector. The reflector is OP. A smooth beam comes into my mind. Not a thrower but neither a flooder.
A pic of how it should be packed. (& accessories?)

I have to say there is one thing that I didn't liked about it:

Led is not centered? In the original link I've posted there is no such thing
EDIT:
The reflector is SMO in the original link, but I have found the reflector be OP on other websites.
That light is nice but it looks like it has 2 of everything screwed together on it...2 heads, 2 small body pieces, 2 tail caps...I like the knurling on it though.
This is the one that speaks to me though. Great size and crazy thrower with enough side spill to be useful! I'm going to ask Jim @ Manafont if he can get this at their store.
I like all the facts you have mentioned. :)
As for the 26650 one, Yeah it's great.
Please everybody ask whoever you can to bring these flashlights in their stores. The more requests the bigger the chance.
