I know why the code doesn't work now: https://www.banggood.com/Search_hl68_at334

Thanks for that. Wonder if it's still a good deal at £35?

How do you like my nitcore tm26 wheelchair holder I made and printed? Its not perfectly straight but it does the job, I dont need to hold it and thats the main reason why I made it. Its tilted slightly down and inwards so its a bit like a car headlight, its beam is in the middle of my chair pointing slightly down(dont know if you can see that from the pics)

I keep the torch fixed to my chair as Im in the chair more or less all the time. But I have made it easy to remove from the holder, and I have stuffed the end full of padding so it can't shake around in the holder.

Which code did you use? BGEC03 (from BudgetLightForum) doesn't work for me.

Sign up to BLF and in this thread request a code and you'll get one.

There is also a code you can use from this review video in the description:

Oh dear... I wish I had a good excuse to get an EC03 (other than wanting to blind random strangers) but I really don't. I've used my EC01 approximately 0 times in anger, but it's there if I need to sandblast someone with photons, right? :-)

The torches I use all the time are the Nitecore TIP by the back door and the TIP2 on my keyring. Maybe I need a bigger keyring?

Too late, I placed my order last night. Now to get charging my spare battery.

@Deluxe1 You are bad man....
I was only thinking the other day i should get another EC01 to mount on my bike. You feed my addiction

EC3 will be on dog walking duties when it arrives, and the EC01 on the bike

What happens about extra chargers with ordering the torch from China? I will be getting the torch sent to my mum's and don't want her having to go to the post office as it's guide far for her and I don't want to pay extortionate extra fees

Never once have I had to pay extra on torch and I must have had 100 plus orders.

Thanks deluxe. Any thoughts on things like usb chargers and pocket knives? I would like to order a couple of things from AliExpress. The charger is £20 and knife £23.

Deluxe1 · 15 Jul 2020 at 09:22

What charger is it? I've no idea about knives.

Deluxe1 · 15 Jul 2020 at 09:32

If anyone is looking to buy 4 or more 21700's then you can get 4 40T's delivered for about £24.

Looks like it has good reviews from different outlets so seems a good buy.

I'm just hoping it doesn't get stopped as I say it's hard for my mum to collect it so need it to be delivered normally through her letterbox

LED tech is dated nowadays! Laser (light excited phosphor) looks promising!

That sucks. Was going to order but it's a risk as they may keep pushing it back

Malt_Vinegar · 15 Jul 2020 at 22:26

Got the same here

Bah..
I can wait though, looks like a great light that will get a LOT of use!

Deluxe1 · 15 Jul 2020 at 22:33

Worth the wait lads.
