Greetings from Greece
I have an extra head and I’m searching for Astrolux S3 body (black).
Does anyone know where can I find one?
Anyone?
I dont think you can buy it from a store like banggood , for now it is sold only as a complete flashlight .Maybe you could find it from a forum member .
Edit :
You could transfer the led and the driver in another host if you like.
If I can’t find a “genuine”one I’m going to consider other options too.
Thanks
Thanks Nicolicous
Sure this will do, but I was looking for the body only part, if possible.
I already have the flashlight head fully equipped
If I don’t find one I will consider the option of buyin the hole flashlight host…
Thank you once again for your help
+100 hope the Atrolux S3 will become available in host form.
We will add the host
let me know your requests
I started this thread so I’m the first in for one…
Depending ot the price, I want around 20 
Im thining of $15 pp. Do you have any indication on the price?
If you could sell the Blf X5 / Astrolux S3 host would be great . Around 15$
They have the S3 host only for $18.99. A bit much since the S2 is only $15.
Hi Rufusbduck. If I apply the 25% coupon from Martin I get to:
- SC -> $26.25
- S2 -> $14.99
- S3 -> $14.24
They don’t sell pieces that way, you’d have to buy both and swap.
> just the copper head. The bezel and tube in aluminium.
I recall some mention the threads do not “Lego” between the copper and aluminum pieces.
Someone will remember …
ps, the host comes with nothing in the tailcap, just the plastic button and retaining ring apparently.
No PC board, no switch. It’d take finding the right driver with bleeder resistor and the right switch board to make the tailcap glow.
Else a plain big sturdy spring would make it a twisty, I guess.
Anyone got those parts?
Doesn’t the BLF X5/X6 driver include all these parts?
I mean it does include the tail switch with led, doesn’t it?
No when you buy the X5/X6 driver, that’s all you get. No switch assembly.
The switch assembly for the lighted tailcap can be made but you have to have a pretty steady hand. The parts are really small and are challenging to solder.
> they do Lego
Most do, but check every combination you have if you’re curious.
Individual variation among parts, even of exactly the same light, is rather significant.
I noted that in the “what Legos with what?” thread.
I have several times tried to “Lego’ the various parts of three or four flashlights — identical model — and found some combinations of threads were loose, some squeaky tight, and one or two simply wouldn’t work.
My theory is that, at assembly, they have a bin of heads, a bin of tubes, and a bin of tailcaps, and they screw with them until they have a complete set of three, then send that on — tossing back any pieces that are too loose or too tight, to retry.
So most of the parts fit fairly well together, but there are a few on near and far edges of tolerance that when put together won’t behave well.
It’s reassuring to see how very tolerant … no, don’t let me get snarky (whack) …
