I noticed on the website that the colour name is changed to “matte black” as well like in your description above. Is this the same finish and colour as half a year ago or so, or is it new and different? And if it’s different, do you have pictures as well?
What about the (new) slightly different machining around the button, is this present as well, or is the machining like the original as pictured on the website? Thanks again! :sunglasses:
Is it possible to order XP-L HI NW in M43?
There used to be an option for XP-L HI, but it had a higher price. Not sure if it’s still available by request, but if so it’ll probably cost more. The emitters cost twice as much, and there are 12 of them.
Is there still a BLF coupon for the M43?
Never was a coupon.
There was, but it was a pretty time-limited sale I guess.
Edit: And I guess maybe that was off the “non-discounted” price?
Correct. Since then the price has stayed $50 lower than original price.
Guess it did require a coupon in the beginning but it was actually a price drop. The price was originally $50 higher than what it is now.
Home made lantern / diffuser.
So I dented my bezel, where can I get the stainless one?
Does anyone have a picture of this new matte black finish?
Is the Noctigon M43 still a good purchase? I’m hoping to get a a 90+CRI light with a broader beam and more lumens than my D4. But still keep it under $150. The light has been on the market for awhile, anything else I should be looking at instead of this little guy?
I have the 219C 80+ CRI version. I also have the Astrolux MF01 in 219C and Manker MK34 in 219C. M43 is still THE Best. Period. :sunglasses:
My MF-01 took the top spot after I put the TA driver in. 90cri 219c over 18000 lumens!

The Matte black is a great choice.
:+1: 
haha, ok. I did it, M43 Nichia ordered. Thank you all for chiming in.
I agree. Good combo of high output and excellent CRI. I honestly don’t see any difference in color rendering outdoors with a 90 CRI and the 80+ version.
I’m excited for you both. I love my Meteors! :partying_face:
