Hey everyone! I’m running a group buy over on reddit, for the Nichia version of the RovyVon Aurora A6. They already have it listed on their site, but the group buy will get 20% off!

Commenting “In” here is just fine! (no need to join reddit.)

Head over to reddit to join!

Here’s the full text:

After my RovyVon Aurora A5 review there was some discussion about how awesome a Nichia version would be.

So I pushed some buttons (it’s what I’m good at.) (The only thing I’m better at is ending sentences with prepositions.)

Then I went and reviewed the RovyVon A2 and A3, and pushed even harder for a Nichia version.

RovyVon is a responsive company. Ken, my main contact, was interested in making what we like. In fact, their newest light, the E300S (which I also reviewed) already has a Nichia version upcoming.

But Ken put in motion the Nichia Aurora lights. It’s been available for a week or so, but Ken agreed to run a “Group Buy” price. This will be ~20% off the listed price. The listed price is $44.95 at rovyvon.com. So the group buy price should be in the $36 range, and should include shipping, and will ship to anywhere in the world. Even Canada.

Here’s the light - it’s a clear poly body, but not GITD [womp womp]. Still it’s a great little light! It will have the same UI as the Aurora lights I reviewed.

In order to get the GB price, Ken wants 50 participants. The GB possibility will run from now til this time next Tuesday. Tell your friends! Just reply on reddit with an “In!” (if you don’t have a reddit account, well, get one, they’re free! but you may also reply here on BLF). We’ll see where we are next Tuesday.

This post is subject to being edited. If there is an update to anything major, like price, I’ll update right at the very top.

Thanks! Any questions, please ask!

Oh man, I’ve just posted my review of the A2 an A5R and said “I guess I’ll have to get the A6 as well!” and now you come with this? You wanna leave me bankrupt ?

I bought the E300s this week after a Group Buy here on BLF. So…I will be bankrupt if I buy another one
BTW, thanks for sharing your awesome review, I am happier now seeing that the XP-G3 can be “easily” replaced

But…if I decide to get the A6, as I am not a reddit user, can we talk about that or it is imperious that I join the group?

Thanks !

No need to join reddit. I’ll tally the “In’s” from BLF as well. Just comment here and say “In.” That’ll be good enough.

Thanks!

I would have definitely been in on the group buy for the A6, I already have an A2 and A5

But I’m not on reddit nor do I intend to be.

In the original post I said that you don’t need to join reddit. You may post “In” here too. I also edited the OP to indicate that more clearly, too. Thanks.

Cool, I’m terrible for skimming through posts and always miss the important stuff

Oh, thanks for clarifying that
Well, I can’t say ‘I’m In’, yet, I’ll have to look to my finances! I will post again before Tuesday so that you have the final list!

Damn…I don’t need…but I waaaaant… But I wanna buy stuff to mod other lights…. :weary: :zipper_mouth_face: :person_facepalming:

I’ll solve myself and will tell you later mate! Thanks again

Looks like a great light!
But I have no budget for it.

MascaratumB · 2018-12-16T21:29:54.000Z

Hey mate, after all I won’t be able to enter the GB for the Aurora A6 :zipper_mouth_face:
Some extra expenses appeared so I can’t get this one… Not this month at least
Thanks again and I wish you luck on the GB

Thanks! Bought one!

Tom6 · 2019-01-21T10:03:30.000Z

Can you lock it?

MascaratumB · 2019-01-21T10:32:32.000Z

Tom6:

Can you lock it?

Nop, but there is no need It has a “long” press to turn it ON, so an accidental activation is not a thing that happens easily !

Tom6 · 2019-01-21T11:53:44.000Z

thanks

I’m bummed that I learned about the Aurora A6 too late… missed the group-buy. How is everyone enjoying their A6? Is this hard clear polymer shell pretty resistant to scratches from rubbing up against keys? How good does the Nichia tint look?

The original A5 is still offered on BG for $36 and then if you search for M4DM4X discount, it’s 20% off that. But I’d gladly pay $36 for the Nichia version. I had a Nitecore TIP CRI that I really liked, but it failed miserably on me. First was DOA, and replacement ended up dying after just 3 weeks. The Aurora A6 looks like a really interesting alternative.

MascaratumB · 2019-02-10T19:41:44.000Z

I’d suggest to take a look at the A8! In my opinion it is better than the A6 at the UI level ( no strobes and has Moonlight)!!
