My SC01 and SC03 are both dead, and these look very un-moddable because of the e-switch mount and tight space for a driver piggyback option. They have been added to my shelf of shame (unmoddables, or too difficult to mod for now)...
i just got my sc03 from banggood.
I bought the NW 3C tint and was expecting an XM-L LED but it seems that they ship the NW version with XM-L2 now.
The size is really nice, I bought it to use with CR123A primaries, but after reading this thread I hope the flashlight lasts for a while.
The light is definitive NW. I made a pic with the Nitecore P12 2015 CW in the middle and Fenix PD35 2014 CW on the right. The one on the left is the sc03.
My SC01 came out really nice after a driver and LED upgrade, see post #27 here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/26146.
If anyone has a dead SC01 or SC03 and would like to get rid of it, I'll take a couple of them for $12 shipped each, as long as they are in excellent condition. Both my SC01 and SC03 died (post #220 above), but this upgrade makes it into a very nice light 
.
Bump - repeating my offer. If you have a dead or working SC01 or SC03, or even a SC02 and want to get rid of it, I'll take it for $12 shipped if in good to exc. condition.
I was looking to buy two of those for presents but then I read some negatives arround PWM and reliablity of the driver.
Banggood is now offering CW/NW options and they are specified as “Solarstorm SC02 2014 new”.
Anyone has an idea about what was actualy changed in this new version ? Any chances that the issues were fixed ?
Thanks
I have 2x of the SC02 and SC03, and you’ll get ’em when you pry them out of my cold, dead hands. 
But seriously, I really like mine. Drop them all the time (not on purpose!), work fine last a long time. I think I bought mine when this thread first came out.
