Just a small update, getting really close to getting working coupon codes, doing some tests today and if all goes well it will not be long after that before I can go public with the codes.
We settled on a single code for the lights but I will be sending a password to each of the first batch silver light requests. These passwords will need to be entered into the “leave message for seller” box when checking out and will be good for one light only. If a password is used twice or the wrong password entered the order will be canceled.
If you want more then one you are welcome to order more once the 2nd batch of silver is ready or you can order a black as well at the same time if you want.

No password for the black ones?
I believe there is ONLY a password for the Silver one is because there are only 24 or 25 this batch.Only those people who signed up are getting them.Other wise a code Alone could get any of the lights…black or silver .
TA will validate this or tell me I am wrong!…Which I do not think.is the case…at least this time!

Correct, there are plenty of black to go around so no need to limit them. The silver are not limited either, but those after the first batch will have to wait a few weeks for the 2nd batch to be finished.

Just Giving people a heads up, I just got the go ahead to release the coupon codes, I will be sending the codes/passwords to the first batch of silver lights first and then posting the codes publicly for the rest of the lights in a little while.

I got word that there are 23 silver lights ready for sale, seems they sent one to a reviewer and another had QC issues and that is why the prototype is mis-matched.
I am only going to send messages to the first 22 people I could find as it was hard to make 100% sure I didn’t miss one. This way if I missed one I can send it to them. If after a few days All is good, I will send the 23rd code to kramerica72 according to my count.
This is all manual so there is always a chance I miss someone.
Now that I have the list I am working on getting passwords together and will start sending them shortly.

Thanks.Will there be a link to AliExpress?

Yes, there is a link for aliexpress. I am working on the OP post that will have the information for the black lights and 2nd batch of silver lights now.
I have all the PM’s ready to go but I think I started sending them too fast and got 4 or 5 sent before my account got locked for PM spam I think lol. I sent a message to SB so he should be able to take care of that.
Also, fair warning, I am posting the silver link in the OP but this is ONLY for 2nd batch lights unless you get a PM, there WILL be a delay of 3-4 weeks, possibly longer if there are any issues before they ship out.
You are encouraged to wait to place your order until they are ready or order black if you want it now. Simply including it now so people realize there are more silver on the way.
Ordered 1 Silver…. Thanks T/A!!!

Ok, SB sorted out the PM limits and I got the rest of the PM sent out. Make sure to include your uniqe username/password combo in the message to seller section of the aliexpress order or you will actually be put in line for the second batch pre-order!

Ordered silver thanks TA!
Btw did you get confirmation they sorted out the somewhat high parasitic drain?
Texas_Ace

Yes, they went with a 10k resistor in the switch which should drop the drain down to an acceptable level (around 300-400ua I am guessing). This is what they spent the last week replacing. I have not confirmed that they finished all of them but going to assume they have finished at least enough to handle the initial orders or he would not of given me the go ahead.

Awesome. I feel with the expense of the SBT90.2 led, big chunk of aluminum, battery carrier with power bank feature and your help with design/execution $150 is a steal.

Nope, not involved, just in the testing of the proto. No bonuses, no free light, no discount, no payments, and not involved in the design at all. I learned about this light like every one else - thread appeared on BLF, just so happened to catch it early enough to get in on the first silver run, paying same price like everyone else.
