Good question. Simon just got the new shipment and I don’t have any feedback from him yet but I did ask. I’ll report back as soon as he responds but until then it’s safest to assume that a few of them still may have a minor flaw.
Quick question - are there any European sellers of the Convoy L6?
APO shipping might not get here by Christmas. BG, GB, and FT are far too slow.
I don’t know the answer , But … If you don’t find any EU warehouse , take a chance with Banggood. I had orders here in 12 days .
But Fasttech is cheaper than BG by about $10 US, but they are really slow - China —> US —> APO Europe takes about 1-1.5 months, and China —> Europe from FT is not much faster.
How is customs when shipping just 1 flashlight?
BG has a code that brings it down to 47.99$ if i remember right .
Also , why BG will send it in US first ? BG will send it from China to Europe too .
Well, I’m US military living in Germany.
If I send it US Postal Service to APO (military overseas post office), I don’t have to pay VAT/import tax. The bad thing is it goes from China to New York, NY to Chicago, Chicago to Frankfurt.
One time I ordered something from Hong Kong that was about $300 US, I had to pay almost 100 euro in import fees.
Ok now i understand .
Only FT has the option to send it directly to you in Europe ?
All the China sellers can send it direct, but one time I ordered from GB and had it sent direct. I chose a very fast shipping method (DHL I think), and GB for some stupid reason changed it to Sweden Post or something like that without asking. Took more than a month to get here. The only nice thing is I think I didn’t pay any VAT.
So if I order from BG or FT, do you think I’ll have to pay VAT for 1 flashlight?
If shipped from China , i think you won’t pay .
They will put in a (much) lower price on the package. So far I had no troubles with various shipping options, except DHL. They always declare duty costs 
So which shipping should I choose?
Stick with regular stuff (priority direct is also fine),so no courier.
Any update on short tube availability? 
I have issue with lightning outdoor in winter time. After some minutes working on high mode a moisture ring appear on inside part of glass.

“0b41cf” for banggood 50.99$
Is this as cheap as I’m likely to see it in the next 3 months or is it worth holding out and hoping for a deal somewhere?
it wont get any cheaper
get them if you can afford them
Tangra, there must be some small degree of moisture present inside your light. This could happen from having the light open on a humid day, or even from the assembly process when it was made. Very cold outside ambient vs the hot inner light is creating that moisture ring.
To the best of my knowledge, the only way to fix it is to disassemble, dry it out and reassemble. Easier said than done, of course. You might be able to minimize this apparent effect by storing the light in a less warm environment so when you go outside it’s closer to ambient temperature? I’m probably one of the worst to be giving advice on this as we don’t get a lot of cold nights here. Not sure what your best recourse might be.
Somebody here can surely offer better suggestions?
