I only have 2 L2 now. One with Luxeon V and one stock new XHP50.2. I mostly have one or two lights per model and replace the leds in thwm over time to try new things. That coloured L2 had SST40, XP-L HI and now Luxeon V in it. I don’t know how much time an SST40 will hold up at these currents. I have too many lights so each always get little use in total.
This is common for pre-orders. Sometimes it might take 4 to 5 months to get your light. You can blame Banggood if it makes you feel better, but ultimately it is you that decided to pay early.
If paying and then waiting a long time is something that bothers you, don’t do it. Wait until it is in stock and commonly available. Then when you pay, it will only take the normal shipping time.
(I think I’ve had my limit of whining. I’m gonna snap.)
Just received mine
First impression: It’s light
Second impression……
Every flashlight I’ve ordered from banggood has come faulty. First my MF01 had a blue LED, then my GT mini had a half functioning switch…now this
Well done to astrolux/banggood on glueing the bezel…and the battery tube. Looks like they’re gna have to send me a whole new flashlight instead of a piece of glass. They might aswell just glue the box so you can’t open it. This way your flashlight will stay in pristine condition for the years to come. Hope this teaches them a lesson. Haven’t tried it yet but dunno if I should turn it on. There seems to be something moving inside aswell.
Not a good run mate 
Got strap wrenches? That’s how I got my MF01 apart…
Managed to get the battery tube and bezel off with my hand. You just have have to try really hard.
I was gonna say - it's a pretty tight fit with mine, unglued, but think the o-ring makes it difficult. If there's broken glass fragments, may have marked up the reflector - need to check carefully. Finding a replacement glass may not be easy, unless they are willing to send you one.
How did you break it? Or did it came like that? You could get a replacement glass from flashlightlens.Com (not sure if they are still in business)
I am sorry to see that Th558. I hope [and they better] rectify the situation.
First update since April 9th when it was in LA.
Mine is finally getting closer! 97 miles from me.

Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item
ELIZABETHPORT, NJ 07206
Your item departed a shipping partner facility at 1:38 pm on April 12, 2019 in ELIZABETHPORT, NJ 07206. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date.
Mine should be in on Tuesday - weird things go on with Banggood delivery here. For some reason it gets shipped first to Tamworth (country town) then makes its way to Sydney… no idea. Oh well, won’t be long, anyway.
I feel bad for the people who are receiving defective/broken ones.
ALL of us have been waiting awhile! Tomorrow will be 2 months for me. I realize it is an inexpensive light,still, there is no excuse for the shoddy work on some of them. Please realize that I am NOT one who can mod and easily fix or repair the deformities! So the modders and mechanically inclined people, it is no big deal!
Of course , it is a different ball game buying from USA dealers…I rarely had to return anything[modded or stock],and if I did, the issues were resolved immediately!
So,oweban and the rest of us still waiting, lets hope for the best FT03!! 
Absolutely, fingers crossed all ends well for everyone - hoping postal companies are gentle on things, too.
is the 29,99 code still active??
Now i know banggood is good. :+1:
I dont think so.Get it from mateminco on AE.I contacted them last week,they do have stock in hand.Just a few dollar more,you dont have to wait like me.
I ordered on 11 April and status changed to shipped on 12 April, is it real since many people here still waiting?
I ordered mine from Banggood on April 4th, and as of yesterday (April 12th), it departed GREENWOOD, IN, USA on its way to me. Also, I've never had any issues with items ordered from Banggood... Xmyfingers :P
Yours and mine are traveling buddies.
I was around order 700 got mine Thursday April 11th.
I believe on April 4th it changed to ship.
I am happy with my flashlight.
