mortuus · 2019-11-24T14:24:28.000Z

its not ok to hold customers money as ransom and just keep delaying producs over and over again ,it happend before and will continue… cant they just be honest about the shipping dates? then there will be less frustration from buyers if honest info is given out long before…

M4D_M4X · 2019-11-24T16:17:35.000Z

please PN me your order numbers and I try to get the estimated shipping date for you.

Consideing the weight and cost higher than a SP36.
Is this new C8 really usable or good only as ornament :person_facepalming: ?

I’m thinking of adorning my Cadillac hood with one

banggood told me the delay is caused due to the led/material choices
if there is just one LED and color its easier...

they also expect all orders to be shipped this week!

Pino4et · 2019-12-01T16:25:33.000Z

As usual, expectations did not come true! The week is over, and my orders are still “in processing”! Banggood-lying man, so fond of interest-free use of other people’s money. I will wait for December 5, to once again be convinced of the false promises of Banggood.

id30209 · 2019-12-02T07:44:35.000Z

Same here^^^

I’ll give them time till tomorrow and withdrawing from any BG deal whoever has it.

I’m sick of it

M4D_M4X · 2019-12-02T08:39:36.000Z

sorry to hear that, but i fully understand you :(

- i guess they are very busy with the black friday / cyber monday sales as i am still waiting to receive shipping dates for the C8

M4D_M4X · 2019-12-02T09:46:23.000Z

banggood just updated me and asked me top express that they are very sorry too!

the manufacturer is delayed due to some new requests by the chinese government
but they hope to deliver within 10 days

we will think about a better way for the groupbuys from now on to avoid such long delays.

Pino4et · 2019-12-02T13:39:17.000Z

Don’t you think it’s strange that AliExpress doesn’t have a problem with the Chinese government’s new requests? AliExpress successfully sells this model of lights in several stores. Due to this pre-order, I did not buy these lights on aliexpress sale.

can you help me with a link?

Received min Astrolux C8 copper SST-40 today and took some measurements:
Astrolux C8 Copper Mode 7, 2120 lumens, 6489K, DUV –0.0057, CRI 68.1
Astrolux C8 Copper Mode 6, 1232 lumens, 6489K, DUV –0.006, CRI 67.7
Astrolux C8 Copper Mode 5, 609 lumens, 6339K, DUV –0.0045, CRI 67.8
Astrolux C8 Copper Mode 4, 218 lumens, 5363K, DUV 0.0068, CRI 67
Astrolux C8 Copper Mode 3, 71 lumens, 5151K, DUV 0.0105, CRI 66.8
Astrolux C8 Copper Mode 2, 11 lumens, 5146K, DUV 0.0098, CRI66.6
Astrolux C8 Copper Mode 1, <1 lumens, 4890K, DUV 0.0098, CRI72.1

The thing is beautiful but very heavy. May be a good host for a SBT90.2. What I don’t like about it is the tail switch is way too stiff. Maybe I’m going to apply some vaseline to it.

M4D_M4X · 2019-12-16T22:16:45.000Z

thanks for the numbers!

Is this the SST40 5000k or SST40 5700k?

Also, I wonder if they can produce the regular Astrolux C8 (aluminum) with SST40 LEDs too?

SKV89 · 2019-12-19T18:01:22.000Z

I threw the box away already but I just checked my BG order and it says 5700K. I’m pretty sure 5000K was not available when I preordered it otherwise I would surely have gotten 5000K.
