I picked up four of the 16340’s I’ll probably put a nanjg driver and a nichia 219 in them.
I didn’t pick up the Fandyfire, simply because I have a bunch of throwers already and my budget is tight this month.
Lightscastle doesn’t always have the best prices but I have never had any problems with their service.
Curious if someone has one of those 16340’s in their hands? Looks like a decent little light based on the pics.
There was a thread on them a while back. Not from Lightscastle though. I think people liked them but had gotten some that were less than quality. Old with grungy contacts. But it wasn’t lightscastle. I have seen these for a while and keep meaning to pick one up. They are usually about $8 or more so the price is right.
My little 16340 is still in among my future lights to mod.. The screw in pill is probably the thinnest I have ever seen. The aluminium bit below the emitter is about 1mm thick. Its not that mod friendly IMO. When that is said. Less than 5$ is pretty good value.
The STL-V6 have a hollow pill and a large MCPCB (32mm?), atleast if its the original. You can not replace the MCPCB with a 20mm Noctigon. Unless you do like I and build a copper pill inside it. If its the "original driver" its easy to resistor mod to 5A. The price is very good, but I never understood why the light was so expensive in the first place. I know many like/liked the light in the past, but I actually preferred the ZY-T13 over the STL-V6..
Look at this light:
I need one in my life. :)
Its the NEW 612`s little brother. I made a thread about the NEW 612 here.

please tell us rookies what that driver, and LED, will make the light do. More modes, higher lumens? I am aware of the tint factor. Thanks!
I find this one funny

their categories are junk, bike lights has car headlights, head band lights, bike lights, light bulbs and almost everything else under the sun
Also the percentages don’t add up, for example this is not 67% off like the claim

More modes, but still no blinkies and yep the great tint.
Thanks. Picked up the 16340 and a couple of the 502Bs. Can always use extra toolbox/beater lights, especially for $6.12.
I wonder why their moon missions survive as well as they do
Lets hope they never try to use nuclear power
Ordered 3 of the 16340 lights, thanks.
I wish they would make that 16340 in an 18350 size instead! That would be awesome!
Yep!
i bought the 16340 flashlight, i already have one in NW that i like. i also have 2 more; one with a greenish tint that i don’t like too much, and one is more purple, but with a donut in the hotspot. i hope i get one like my favorite one…
i also bought the 3-mode AA flashlight and a 502B, i have been thinking about buying one of those for a while, hopefully the quality is ok.
didn’t need any of those, just couldn’t stop myself from buying them :zipper_mouth_face:
Thanks for the heads up! Love tiny little 16340 lights!
Looking forward to everyone’s thoughts/ experiences with this one. Also, never bought from lightcastle, perfect place to start - 4 dollar order….curious to see if I will be buying more from them.
eta: I think I see the BLF effect in action!
