Just wanted to say, that I understand everybody's disappointment with the incompatibility of parts with the old lights. I don't want everyone to think that this has been a complete failure though. It sounds like Simon is trying to make it right for those with the threading issue. Kudos to him for that. Thats all you can ask for.
I ordered a complete light. It is wonderfully made and just looks and feels great. If that is all anyone is looking for, you won't be disappointed!
I ordered 10 copper pill for S2+ (order 5000946234682271)! Wanted to put them on all mine S2+, I didn’t know they were only for new editions of lanterns. But I will not demand a refund through Ali Express. Simon Mao does a lot of good for flashlight lovers. D hope on what any free gifts from him in my subsequent orders. I really like the products of his shop and I do not want to cause him any harm!
Ordered 4pcs of copper pills. I wont ask a refund either. I’ll rather wait for a new batch of pills with correct threads for my aluminium S2+ lights.
Simon, when will they be available?
change of plan. copper host, copper pill … i doubt i’ll find a better s2+ triple host so it’s getting a triple samsung lh351d 4000k 90 cri and optics from mtn and spacer from kiriba-ru. should work well with the 12a ld-a4 i had intended to install in an astrolux s41 but didn’t.
I would find no good reason to build my own flashlight parts incompatible with my own flashlights. It's like designing a new, cool lego brick which cannot fit in the game.
I would see an aluminium smooth S2+ without knurling.
Market lacks of smooth design lights in Aluminium
Often are in stainless like the blf 348
They are much simply, comfortable on hans and better to look!
instead of 90% of gritty Alu lights with ugly scalines.
