    A description (and pics) of your largest and smallest lithium light.

    Istmichel, I did a search to find more info on your MecArmy IX3 and couldn't find anything. Could you provide a link or info?

    A description (and pics) of your largest and smallest lithium light.

    Physically large and small. The MF04 uses (4) 18650 cells in a 2P2S configuration and a tight beam at around 2900 lumens. The Nebo 400 may only have a max output of 400 lumens but the power of its tiny LiPo battery is rather amazing. An option of using the green LED for walking in the dark...

    A description (and pics) of your largest and smallest lithium light.

    I'm looking to see if there are some lights at the extremes of the size spectrum that would be interesting to me. Must be rechargeable. MF04 thrower and the Nebo 400 Mycro. Hard to find two lights so different from each other.

    What 3 lights do you like/use the most?

    Most of you are familiar with these 4 lights. From left to right is the Astrolux MF04 thrower. I live on top of the Continental Divide but so far south (6 miles north of the border with Mexico) that it is desert at only 4200' in elevation. The MF04 throws a beam over a mile and can really light...

    The batteries arrived today, 33 days past their estimated arrival date.

    I finally got a return email but like one of the earlier emails it left me wondering if they even understand English as they requested a video of a package that I never received. My return correspondence was that we already established that the shipment was never received, hence I can't take a...

    And another day has passed with no reply to my email. In all fairness, emails can get "lost" so today I sent another email. If I don't get a reply to either of these emails then I'll have to accept Banggood has washed their hands of my lost shipment.

    Another day has passed and no reply to my last email. Appears Banggood has no intention of completing my order. Live and learn, glad it didn't cost me too much.

    Thanks npb, it would be nice to get the rest of my order. However, Banggood has stopped replying to my emails, so I assume they have washed their hands of my incomplete shipment.

    Please don't move it again. I've only been a member CPF since 2012 but until now have never been to this part of the forum. That is why I posted in the Flashlight Discussion subforum for the largest possible audience. Posts have the ability to swing a purchase decision both ways. For example...

    That sounds logical.

    I have to ask why my post was moved from a category that was more on topic to my post, to this seldom viewed category? Had I come across a post like mine I probably would have passed on purchasing from a distributor in China. The only reason for my post was to give a heads up to other forum...

    All replies very informative and I thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll have to exercise more patience in dealing with Banggood after these thoughtful replies. I will update this post if there are any changes.

    Thank you for your reply MX421. I am aware of certain shipping restrictions on LiPo batteries as I'm sure Banggood is also aware. The (4) cells were purchased along with a plastic case. Their tracking reports the package was received in the States on 3-5-19 but that is the end of their tracking...
