Kaidomain, pfft.... LOL

From Kaidomain -- ordered SKU: S008747 Cree Drop in
and SKU: S004592 28mm aspherical lense

My order came today, finally. But -- WTF ?

Left -6P-
Middle - 28mm aspheric, which is actually 1.95" (49.5mm) aspherical
Right - Cree Drop in, which is actually some sort of optic (about 30+mm)

Shot 'em an email and the pic.

They've been pretty good about fixing their mistakes, drop them an email first. If you don't get any response, file a PayPal dispute.

Now what? Maybe paypal dispute?

Why not start with the assumption of honest mistake, send it back and explain what's wrong?

Aircraft, I seen those pics a few weeks ago. Looks like a bunch of flashlight geeks tooling around out there - I'd prolly fit in if I had more lights LOL.
Looks like a good time there. For me just being able to talk, in person, to knowledgeable folks and check out some lights would of been great.

I decided to just contact them via their website and inform them that they sent the wrong stuff, that will most likely handle it. I just didn't edit the OP.
I doubt I'd send it back anyways, will likely cost me more to ship than I payed them in the first place........

So... whats a 49.5 mm aspheric fit anyways ? lol .. and what is the other optic if you can tell from the pics. I"m guessing its approx 35mm or so.

50mm aspheric is probably a D maglight
the optic looks like it's for a cree xpe / xre, probably put out a nice spot.

I recently ordered a 18650 tube extender, and recieved a warm Osram Dragon AAA light (which is actually a great little thrower but the asked i return the items for the tube)

 

[Jason_Tx]

I just put the aspheric in a stock 3D mag -- it fits
the beam looks like crap though lol...

 

[Aircraft800]

So what did you end up paying for the Aspheric? If you don't need it, just sell it here, I'd even take it if the price was right.

A stock 3D Mag isn't going to work unless you have some type of LED, preferably a Cree XR-E, but a Seoul P4 works well too.

 

[Jason_Tx]

well, what I ordered was the 28mm one but got the 50mm ---
I paid 3 bux for it .....

I've been wanting to put some sort of LED into the Mag for some time now but just don't know what to get. I would like something that has a warm'ish tint, similar to the Malkoff M60W color. If not then I'm not sure what to put in it. I don't want to spend much money on the thing...

Find yourself a nice warm Cree XR-E like a 5A EDIT: Looking for a source for the warm 4000k bins, a H22A DHS Cree Heatsink, and a 18V 5W Cree Circuit Board for Flashlights EDIT: Don't use that driver, it's 1000mAh, the warmer Cree's are rated at 700mAh

You'll be into it for well under $40, and have a nice thrower.

I believe that you got one of these:

How well does it fit in the maglite? Does it stay in place? Normal maglite lenses are 52mm, not 49.

 

[Jason_Tx]

When I drop it in the bezel I can move it side to side abit. When I screw the bezel on I grabbed the lens and tried to move it. It wouldn't move.
When tightened it stayed put just fine

 

[Mjolnir]

That is interesting... The only other suitable aspheric lens for a maglite on KD was the 52mm lens, which was $20 (but is now sold out). This seems like a much cheaper alternative.
