I sand down the copper stars like crazy... Not as thin as the original, but take it down from 1.55mm to 1.2mm or so (stock ones are ~1.0mm). For SinkPAD I's, it also removes the center indent, but doesn't really matter if not on a shelf.
Would you check whether those are real beamshots for this flashlight?
They look incredible. One very warm, narrow (the cave); one wide, floody, neutral (the wall); one medium-wide, bluish (the parking lot); one (the bicycle picture) with astonishingly crisp edge cutoff on the beam.
Hard to imagine how you get all that variation out of one single light.
I tried to order that charger although it was in stock. Later I received a notice saying that they could not fulfill the order, no explanation. I was offered two choices: 1) buy other products. 2) Store credit. I asked why they couldn’t ship as it was clearly noted as in stock but no answer. They did refund back to my Paypal account after another email though.
So be prepared for some f*cking around if you place this order. Let me know if it works out though, I still want to get a few.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me. Except, I went in circles and circles for like 3 weeks before actually getting the refund. This is why I asked this question. Let me know if they actually ship it. I’m interested to know if they will ship it
Yeah, kind of makes you worry about ordering from Gearbest again. Item is displayed as in stock, you order and pay, then get a message that your order can’t be shipped (no explanation) and you have to work to get the refund. Fortunately I only had to send one additional message. If that wouldn’t have worked I would have just filed a Paypal dispute and let Gearbest sort it out with them.
I got my refund, so I’m OK. I’ve ordered other stuff from them since, but it would have been nice with an explanation as to why they wouldn’t send out my order.
I tried to get a price and availability on some items on your live chat service- its too painful. And after reading all the slow delivery times and inventory issues - i will wait until you lift your game.
