Yep. Illumn is excellent. I’ve had great experiences purchasing from Illumn. Glad I joined BLF and found out about them.

I’ve been happy with Ilumn but I’ve been fortunate to not need any post-sales support from them. Good stuff.

Craig & Calvin Rocks!.
Great Team.
Thank You Illumn, from London.

I ordered my FW3A from them, and it was all fast and flawless. It’s pretty cool they calibrate the temp sensor before shipping.

BillyBobJoe · 2019-10-29T04:06:18.000Z

Nice to hear. I’ve been considering ordering some cells from them and this seals the deal. Good CS is worth something.

Another big fan of illumn here. They ship very fast to Canada as well.

I’ve had the same level of care from their customer service team. They’re definitely on my Trusted Vendor list.

Calvin from Illumn.com is the best! Best customer care from anywhere I have shopped online. Calvin goes above and beyond to help me source some parts that I can’t get anywhere online after I messaged him. The best part is, he included the parts with my order as a “free warranty item”. If that’s not caring about your customers, I don’t know what is. Thanks Calvin!

They’re wonderful.

Boaz · 2019-10-29T05:55:44.000Z

Yep.. they are good as gold .

It should be noted that Illumn HQ also serves as a retail store. Less than five miles from SJC (San Jose) airport if one is in town, or passing through.

Think “kid in a candy store.”

In am interested in purchasing a few budget lights that do not need to be modded in any way, shape or form. So, there is no need to order these from my fav modder. But, I am hesitant to order from a distributor who I have never ordered from before, because there is no way of knowing in advance, before placing an order, if the time to ship and/or shipping time will be of logarithmic and/or biblical and/or astronomical proportions.

The thought came to me from out there somewhere to order from Illumn, so I searched "Illumn budgetlightforum" to see what others have to say, and out pop several very nice threads full of nice things said about Illumn.

If Illumn says "In Stock", what is a general idea of time frame to receive after ordering?

I am pleasantly impressed with the nice things that others have posted about Illumn. :)

I’ve done a half dozen deals with them going back to at least early 2014 and never a problem. I have an Xtar PBS2 and two Samsung 50Es coming probably Monday.

I actually bought the PBS2 two weeks earlier, from XtarShop on Ebay, but that slow boat from China has been too much for me to bear.

I’ll have two pair of 50Es and two PBS2s to fiddle with for hurricane season!

If you’re interested in a PBS2, the blue one at Illumination is $14.99 plus shipping and the XtarShop has it at $23.99 s/h included, if that matters.

They are pretty fast but you can email them using the contact form on their site to make sure they are still operating after the recent . . . events.

Helios_azimuth · 2020-06-09T23:15:25.000Z

Illumn has been consistently fast and accurate. Lights, batteries, whatever. My favorite place to order.

iamidaho · 2020-06-09T23:18:28.000Z

Another +1 here for the guys/gals at Illumn. I support them 1000%. If by recent events you mean COVID-19, been using their contact form and they’ve responded every time. This was maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago. If something happened more recently, then I’m unaware.

Watermanchris · 2020-06-10T00:31:02.000Z

I was more talking about the protests and looting that has taken place in some cities. I’m not sure if any of that happened near Illumn but I hope not.

Superstocker · 2020-06-10T00:33:44.000Z

I placed an order on Friday the 5th and revived it yesterday on Monday the 8th. They are really great.
