I actually would be very surprised if Eagle Eye moves 1000 lights a day or even a week.
I remember they had to produce the 1050 X6-SE’s for weeks before they could deliver them in batches to banggood. And i wouldn’t be surprised if thats all they did under those weeks.
I just don’t think they are an that big of an operation and moves those kind of volumes, if you combine the “sold” on banggood on EE light you get a couple of hundreds sold, + the X6-SE at 1236 units sold.
So at least at banggood the X6-SE have sold several times the numbers the other EE lights have sold.
It’s available at the link(s) in my signature. Additionally, there is a version with all the runtime config bits stripped out to make room for other features, and I’m about ready to release a third version tuned for my personal use (it has a ton of blinkies).
The firmware won’t get a final rev until we receive production samples. I assume I’ll need to recalibrate everything for EE’s hardware.
Or maybe he’s going to buy them for the GB price and sell them for what they’re really worth! Some members did that with the BLF X6-SE. With 50 flashlights, he could have a very successful run on eBay!
No I do not think it is unreasonable but a lot will depend on what they send us for samples....which are supposed to be ready this week. If they did what we asked, and did it properly then we will be good to go.
You can hope. I suppose it is still possible, but I wouldn’t count on it. As others have said, these things take some time, and after all is said and done, it could still easily be another month for shipping.
