There were also issues with the driver. There was a re-release a coupe of months ago. The new version has a black tailcap instead of blue.
darn , the picture on my GB order page has a blue one

There probably were a whole bunch of iterations, so because you have a version with the older blue tailcap does not mean there was no re-design of the driver; these things you usually don’t know as an end consumer I think.
Though I would not expect to have an answer like “yes, it’s faulty, please throw it away” I would also not expect an answer at all - please keep in mind that the Chinese New Year Parties are about to start.
Regarding your question:
Do not be preoccupied - be sure to receive a perfectly working flashlight.
Every producer does changes and improvements in production all the time - the only point in this case is that they are visible because of
- the new box
the new black tail
From my point of view the new box was no improvement - I needed a guide dog to get to my new flashlight. the new tail just has the advantage to mount a lanyard (which I do not use)…
By the way: what kind of picture did you see at GB? They still have the old one on their Homepage but the one they shipped to me on the 1st of December already had the new design…
Yes, as thread attachment it is not visible for non TLF Members. Thats why I mosly use galeries In the TLF where I can can allow access for non members.
For all who did not see the picture, thats an 4S BMS with contact to each 2P Group of the batteries.
Thats the same picture, uploaded in this thread, which is not visible for non members.
Open an other Browser where you are not logged in to TLF and you will see the thread without pics.
