Interest Check: Strion Bi-Pin Adapter for A2

[Ahshan]

I've received word Five-Mega may consider running another batch of A2 Strion Bi-Pin Adapters if presented with enough interest.


Here's the communication:

Dear Fivemega,

I, and several others, are interested in purchasing your strion kit for the A2.

Would you please consider doing another run, or at-least an interest check?


Ahshan

Unfortunately, minimum quantity requirement is 100 units and my cost is even higher than last run.
I will reconsider about another run if I can negotiate total cost down to same as last run per unit.
Thank you for interest.

Awesome.

May I post your reply to a public thread?

Ahshan

Sure,
I would like to know about serious interests.

Given the discontinuation of MA-02's, scarcity of circulating stock, and the recent price gouging of Lumens Factory HO-A2's, the accessible utility of the incandescent A2 is being ingloriously doused. Remember, this bi-pin adapter is designed for the Strion bulbs, but can be used for any bulb within electrical and dimensional specs (or not).

If you are interested in purchasing one of these legendary adapter kits to keep it operable, then line right up!


Damage is in the ballpark of $3X.

I just checked and the Lumens Factory HO-A2 lamps are $24 each. I believe this is what they always were. Correct me if I'm wrong.

... and IIRC, that is still less than what the SF MA02 MSRP had been :thinking:

 

[Ahshan]

It was $21+$5(shipping) two weeks ago.

I can't imagine the price will go down; anyhow, these bulbs tend to blacken over time, unlike their factory counterpart.

Contrary to the MA-02, the HO-A2 has a deteriorating service life which doesn't seem reasonable at cost. No way I'd continue running the A2 on these things.

I'd buy at least 2 of them. :twothumbs

Surprised there's not more of a push for another run of the the e-series bi-pin adapters. I'd buy like 5 of those!

Thread is about interest in Fivemega's adapter, not dispariging someone else's product or pricing. Keep it on topic.

So if the list builds momentum I'd add my name for a couple.

 

[Str8stroke]

I would be interested.

 

[Crazyeddiethefirst]

I'm in

 

[rrego]

Another interested one here! Thanks.

 

[mk2rocco]

I'm in! I've been bumping a WTB for 4 months.

 

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

I'm interested in one for the A2.

Also a bump for an e-series strion bi-pin as well. Been looking for one of those for a long time.

 

[skillet]

Count me in for one

 

[Minimoog]

Two for me please.

 

[StudFreeman]

I'm in for two.

 

[sgt253]

Ill take one...

 

[bykfixer]

Seems like at least 12 so far.

How would it work? Deposit up front to ensure interest is certain?

Hello all. I've been a long time lurker here but have never felt the need to post until I saw this. I have bought 3 a2's, 2 whites and a red, because of you guys and I carry one of them everyday. In my research I noticed I was way behind the 8 ball on the first runs of these but I don't want to be again. I love my a2's and want to keep them running well into the future:candle:. I'm down for 2 if that's possible.

 

[Darien]

I'll take one as well...
