FastTech new arrival!!! (Updated on 3/1)

twinclouds · October 13, 2015, 4:39pm

By saying the above, I have a question may be somebody here can answer.
The sell different XP-G2s. Some of them with “XPGBWT” in the product name some of them are not. Anybody know what does that mean? I checked Cree’s webpage, XPGBWT is there on any product model number.
Another question is: there are different voltage rating on the XP-G2’s may also other LEDs. Some of them are rated as “2.8 to 3.15v” and other are “3.5-3.7v”. That does not make sense to me either.
Hope someone can enlighten me.

Fasttech… It would be great if you can extend your line of double AR coated lenses.

I agree. I think that is the case. They try to do their best but they just don’t know the product that they are selling. As for me, as long as they sell good products at good price I don’t want to be too picky on them.

hank:

……
The folks who have contact with us really don’t know what they’re selling. My hunch is their suppliers usually also don’t know what they’re selling — batches of overstock and remainders not easily identifiable.

In other words, I’m afraid they’re doing the best they can already.

If I might give my opinion, I was going to say that this might’ve been something with the subtlety of languages and also maybe some cultural things. I think that what you probably meant to say was to politely say something more (but not 100% exactly) like “we will try to get that information”, or maybe “we will try to get that information, but we’re not 100% sure that we will be able to get that exact information from the vendor” instead of “considering”… or something like that.

BTW, it looks like they also have some P60 drop ins with XP-L, e.g:

Fasttech: The search on your site doesn’t seem to work very well. When I searched for:

XP-L

it pulled all kinds of stuff, but nothing with XP-L. I had to use google, like:

xp-l site:fasttech.com

Hi ohaya,

We checked the problem and has reported this to IT department to facilitate the searching engine in our site. We will update you once we upgraded the system.

Dear Fasttech, in the past I’ve buy a lot of knives from you, but now shipping cost are too exprensive, so I must take knives from others vendor like Gearbest or Aliexpress. I’m not happy because I know you are a good website, and you are honest. Do you plan to reduce the cost in the future, or not?
Thank you so much.

djburkes · October 20, 2015, 1:47pm

FastTech…it kind of bothers me that you have to put “Authentic” in front of what you are selling.

pilotdog68 · October 20, 2015, 1:53pm

I know what you’re saying, but I like it. Fasttech knows they sale counterfeit items, but they don’t try to pretend they’re the real deal. If it’s actually real, they label it “Authentic”

djburkes · October 20, 2015, 2:07pm

Lol :bigsmile:

shrick · October 20, 2015, 2:37pm

Pilotdog is serious, I believe…

djozz · October 20, 2015, 2:55pm

So what are these new drivers listed today? I like the simple 1 mode 7135 drivers, but what does that SOT-23 part do there? It is labeled A1SHB and when when I look it up it appears an n-channel mosfet ???? Anyone know how it is used here?

+1

Ask for an explicit statement if it’s not clear in the written info. And take a screenshot.
“Trust, but verify” — some old Hollywood actor, in his last job

On the good side, they do publish some negative reviews,
e.g.
https://www.fasttech.com/reviews/2768500

What I learned by that experience — no matter how tempting a new product seems, buy just one or two first, not five.
The problem with buying one is you might get a bad one, even when most of them are good, and be discouraged and not find out.
The problem with buying two is, if only one is bad, you wonder how many bad ones are in each batch.
The problem with buying five is, if they’re all bad, you got that many, sorry Charlie.

twinclouds · October 20, 2015, 4:39pm

I agree. It is good to put “authentic” there. It give me more confidence to buy them. Of course, only if they indeed authentic (and they are, I believe from my experience so far).

twinclouds · October 20, 2015, 4:50pm

Which one are you talking about? I cannot find any driver in the list. What I have missed?
