I read through the first post and did not see an update on the proposed $22-$23 cost. Is there an updated cost figure now? I’ll be interested in 1 model in CW.
Hey guys!
i think some of us need good cells for that beauty...
so i talked to Neal to do me a favour.
Panasonic NCR18650BD 3200mAh 10A
coupon: M4D4BLF gives 20% off
end date: August 15
links are no aff - as promised (but they are in my deals thread ;) )
Thanks, I am going to grab a couple cells. Which ones do you prefer?
What battery do you recommend? I’m also looking for the smallest possible battery to fit other lights.
well - i have already HE2 powering my M43 and some NCR18650B…
maybe i grab the BD this time (good offer outside the US)
Thank you! Those are good prices.If I remember correctly...when He2 and BD stock is depleted then that is it, and probably the B's also.
He2's = $4.68 ea., BD's = $8, B's = $5.80 ea.
oops bugsy, the BD’s are twice that, it’s a 1-pack.
Thanks. Just ordered a couple HE’s…
Thanks! Corrected. Can't say about outside of the US but at $8 for the BD better off to get the newer versions from Richard or Calvin. He2's still well worth it.
I just grabbed a couple HE2’s also. Thanks.
+1
Hope that with 800 and more flashlights already sold the price will be a little less 
What is the UI for Mode Memory ON?
I am trying but it has changed since then because we added the deep carry clip that this host never had and required machining to make it work.
Same UI. It is done the same way you change from 4 to 7 OR solder the pin on the underside.
Must be 3A because I could never find a 2D anywhere. 2D must be rare or it’s the the red headed stepchild of a tint. If it is a 2D tint, where did you ever find it?
3A isn’t a bad tint. It looks way better than 3C to me. I wanted to try out the 4D tint too, but they got sold out. 
Same UI ???!!! You mean there is no difference whether mode memory is on or off?
1. With mode memory off, you turn off in Turbo. At what mode does it come on?
2. With mode memory on, you turn off in Turbo. At what mode does it come on?
What is the “what” that is done the same way?
What you mean by “change from 4 to 7”? What’s “4” and “7”?
The same way almost every other mode memory works.
With memory on, it comes back on whatever mode you turned it off.
With memory off, it comes on the lowest mode
.
.
You can choose whether you want 4 modes or 7 modes by pressing the button repeatedly and entering configuration mode. You turn memory on/off in config mode also.

All of this was discussed, it seems like you need to read some more
Is this still available in non-anodized?
Yes. It can be BUT they will not be made ahead...in other words stocked. The best thing to do is PM Neal at Banggood if one wants one like that :)
Definitely the best way, and everyone can make their own personal one or twenty copies of it this way.
So, I wanted 3, I need to PM Neal? Neal at BLF?
