*CANCELLED* - [REQUEST] 4 European members to pass-around experience: Wuben TO50R

Wow, 2 days?
If i just had the spare time in 2 days to do a full length review, combined with work, and 2 kids, usually i have to find time to do a review

I got a reply from Jelina with an offer for the (potential) members involved in the (eventual) pass-around experience!

Here it is:


OFFER:
Wuben will offer a 50% discount to the members involved in the pass-around experience.
I will send them a list with the usernames of the involved people so that they can have the record.
The discount code is to be used in Amazon in any Wuben products, and it can be used within a 1 month period.
The involved members shall contact WubenLight through Private Message and they will provide the specific discount code for the product(s) required.
————

This information is also be placed in post #1 between “MATERIAL CONDITIONS” and “AFTER THE PASS AROUND >>> GIVEAWAY”!

I would like to get some feedback from people about this suggestion, please.

If all together (the conditions) are still not attractive, I will probably not spend more energy on this. I hope you do understand as it will not good for me, for you, nor for Wuben to be insisting on this. Then, maybe other options can be considered.

That looks more like it!
Is there any limit on the 50% discount? Does it count for other lights as well, or just for one type of light?

Hum, can you explain what you mean with “other lights”?
You mean other Wuben lights?
This is quoted from Jelina’s message:

Sorry, thanks for your explanation, i missed the word any

No problem :wink:
About the use of the code, for her words, I supposed it will be a code for “single” use, per member. But I may have understood it wrong!
I will check with Jelina again!
(Communication is very delayed due the time difference from here to China :zipper_mouth_face: )

EDIT: Message sent. Reply awaited!

EDIT #3 - 9th August 2019 - Pass-Around Experience Cancelled

So, to everyone involved in the discussion and reading this thread, I am now announcing it is CANCELLED!

A few days ago I posted the new proposal from Wuben (50% discount for their stuff in Amazon Store, for those involved in the pass-around experience).
After that I sent Jelina some more messages to clarify some aspects on that offer and today I got a reply, with new suggestions / proposals.

After analyzing what she presented in the message, and taking into account what has been debated here, and what is debated in other threads about doing reviews, I opted to cancel this pass-around experience.

In short, these are suggestions :

- option 1 would imply buying the flashlight, with eventual refund (I asked Jelina to confirm about this), and reviewing it. Additional there would be 50% discount codes for 1-2 itens on their Amazon store.

  • option 2 would imply making a new invitation thread and use a more traditional approach to receiving lights for review.

I suggested option 2, put some questions about its implementation to Jelina and probably in the next days there will be a new “take” on the TO50R.
So, stay tuned! :wink:


As I don’t want to be unclear about my motives, the main aspect why I chose option 2 and why I opted to cancel this pass-around was mostly because I wouldn’t probably have time and, eventually, the delicacy to manage this thread in case option 1 was chosen!

Thinking in advance, all the issues that could come from eventual decisions and issues from buying, shipping, refunding, etc, could create a less friendly environment here, and I don’t want to enter discussions and arguing that will lead us nowhere! More than that, I didn’t want to create the conditions for “bad” things to happen (despite they can always happen even if we try to “bullet-proof” reality!!)

I hope the new “take” on the TO50R review is more “reasonable” and clear, and that it can be more easily managed. Hopefully the next week will bring some news about that!


I also wanted to mention that I wouldn’t like to delete the content of this thread as it may serve as base of discussion for future “pass-around” experiences! Despite the conditions presented, I guess the things are well structured :innocent: and more than that, I think that the discussion of some points were/are helpful to think about what to do in pass-around experiences!!!

For that, I want to thank you all! For spending time writing, thinking and exposing your thoughts! It was very helpful for me and, hopefully, for other members.

To member lohtse, that formally said YES to this proposal even with the offered conditions, thank you and I am sorry this experience will not happen. As I mentioned before, please stay tunned within the next days!

Thanks again, sorry for making you spend your time on this and…over and out! :beer:

I haven’t reviewed the final retail product yet. I did post some stuff on the proto I had a while back.

Review is coming next week.

Thanks maukka! Will be looking for it :+1:

With Maukka’s full review coming, it will have all of the data anyone will ever need. I especially like the runtime charts and efficiency measurements. Very useful :+1:

In the meantime, I posted my impressions with a few measurements after owning 3 TO50R, 3 TO46R, 1 TO10R, 2 TO40R. My biggest gripe is the button is so freaking hard to find! If the power button was a tail switch and the mode button was lighted when on, it would have been the ultimate do everything light.

Thanks for the heads-up Clemence :wink: Will read it!

Thanks for your data SKV98! I don’t go into the DUV details and some more technical aspects, as I am not so familiarized with those, but I do appreciate having that information! Lately I’ve been more concerned with runtimes and colour rendition, and, of course, the UIs. I’ll be looking for what this light has, but apart from some things already read and some issues reported, it seems a solid one. Let’s see :wink:
Thanks again!!
