It took me 20 days to get my D4 cyan 219CT, which is about the same time as a few FastTech and GearBest orders, so figure on 3 weeks. I can’t speak for your postal system in Holland, but that’s my experience getting this stuff to Miami.
The penny took rather more than three days to drop for me…
I’m now reminded of the time when I was working in Germany and told someone that “Ich bin heute sehr früh auferstanden”, which means that “I was resurrected very early today”, so they naturally fell about laughing. I’m not good with mornings, but I’m not that bad.
I had actually intended to tell them that I got up very early that day, which would have been “Ich bin heute sehr früh aufgestanden”. Amazing the difference that one syllable can make
I see people with multiple D4s, so they’re trying out various LEDs. I didn’t own any Nichia lights, so I went with the 219CTs, despite them being banged on hard on ‘turbo’, but I figure that’s for limited seconds and it was $18 cheaper.
For $47.40 shipped from Hank, with a clip and cyan 18350 body, plus a 20 day wait, it was a no brainer.
I’ve got a D1s with 3A coming any week now and that was only $40 shipped.
I was deciding between the Nichia and something with a golden glow like the 5D. I don’t have either yet.
Now that I have some high drain flat top 18650’s it’s [unfortunately] easier to buy more lights. Until now I’ve been factoring the cost of batteries into my next light purchase. I took care of that when I ordered the D4.
