Wiljen Lights - 2015 buy

[wiljen]

Zoomies

Available in Black only this go around but with your choice of white, red, green or UV emitter (Be sure to tell me which one or you get white). $10 each. I have also found a good lithium ion 14500 cell to power these at $12 for a pair of batteries and a charger for those who wanted rechargables for these.

Modified original.

Round body (L2) as in previous buys. This does not have a pocket clip. I have gone back to the 3 mode as people seem to like it better. Batteries are the upgraded as well. I am using Samsung 2600 mAh 18650s which give better run times and longer battery life. Kit still contains light, 2 batteries and charger. Price will be $46 due to some increases in component costs. Rail mount kits with the polymer rail mount are $16 including bracket and pressure switch. Aspheric lens available for $2 as well

Big Lights

Same model as before 3 emitters and will run on either 2 or 3 batteries so can either be compact or have an extended runtime. These come with a Nitecore 2 cell charger and 6 18650 batteries so you have 3 sets if running in 2 cell mode or 2 complete sets running in 3 cell mode. These are 5 mode Hi>Mid>Low>Strobe>SOS and have the upgraded sense resistors to put out 1800-2000 lumen on high. In a pinch these can be run on 4*AA with the 3 cell extension. I would not run on more than low mode on AA as the current draw will stress cells and cause unwanted heat on high/mid. Price is $95 for light, 6 batteries and Efest digital charger including car charging cable.

Monster light

This is a true monster. A TR-J18 with 7 emitters running on 8 Amps. This amount of current draw requires the use of larger cells to truly achieve useful runtimes so this one is offered with 2 full sets (6 batteries) of 26650 cells (26mm diameter 650mm Long). This light can also run on 18650s with the sleeves provided, or on low mode using standard C size batteries in a pinch. Output can easily dwarf the output of the original big light with nearly 4200 lumen when run on good quality 26650 cells. At mid mode the light puts out 1600 and roughly 400 on low. Runtime on 3*26650 is roughly 75 minutes on high but the light will be too hot to hold long before you reach that point. 9.5 inches long on 2 cells 12.5 on 3. Kit includes light, 6 batteries and a dual cell digital charger with car adapter. Kit price is $165.

137652 (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=103987&d=1399158302)



I ran some tests using a lux meter for comparison of output just so we could compare apples to apples. Lumens is a very subjective measurement. This gives a much clearer picture as it allows direct comparison of all lights to each other. These were done at short distance and will not be comparable to others results, but within my system they give a good idea of how one compares to the next.

[Springfield]

Any advantage to your 14500 lithium battery compared to the Eneloop aa battery?

[wiljen]

the 14500s are capable of more current so will be brighter, eneloops will last longer so its a trade off.

[Geraldo]

I'm in:

[Geraldo]

Also, what are the dimensions on the Big Light, and how far is the throw?

[wiljen]

I'll have to look and see if the pic mount can be made to fit the big light. I know it wont fit a monster but I might be able to bore it for the big one.

Paypal Sent

[wiljen]

not a problem, I cant order parts until tuesday anywho with the holiday weekend so I'll leave the buy open through Monday.

[timberhawk]

cba257,
You're gonna love the monster light. I've go one and it's like nothing you've ever had before.
You won't be sorry you ordered one!

[cba257]

Great! I love all of the rest of the lights I have received from Will.

[Terryrm1-03]

What does the Aspheric lens do?

[timberhawk]

What does the Aspheric lens do?

It focuses the beam from a flood into a spot. Increases the throw dramatically.

[wiljen]

Ok, been finalizing numbers and will have a list posted shortly. Been a zoo week but I am still alive and kicking.

[Flintlockrecord]

Where do these fit in on this chart?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zSj6rt2TBsben-MXxczLDcfMK8nlqxCroI8gWp9fEjQ/pub?output=html

[wiljen]

hard to make an exact fit.

The original is an 18650 body with an xml emitter and runs between 750 and 800 lumen otf on high.
the zoomies are a 14500/AA body and run a xre emitter at roughly 250-280 lumen with a 14500 they will run higher, with junk AA cells considerably lower.
The big light is a 3x xml doesnt match anything on the chart

[Allgrainbeer]

Hi WilJen, did you receive the money I sent?

[CGT80]

wiljen,

Any updates on the progress of this group buy? When do you think these will be done and ship out?

[wiljen]

Got everything ordered and waiting on parts. I've been out this week with work so didnt get back the board sorry. I'll do better to post as parts arrive.

[tja6435]

I'd take 3-4 zoomies with green emitters if still possible. Thanks

[kfarm]

Will, the check will be in the mail tomorrow

[timberhawk]

Any updates?

[Allgrainbeer]

Any updates?

[rollmyown]

Can you supply me with a dozen 18650 batteries and a charger for the same? If you can fit some lithium AA's in the same small flat rate pack too, that would be grand.

Thanks

[wiljen]

FIghting it out with customs. They held the shipment due to the packaging on batteries.

[rollmyown]

Are they saying the 18650's could arc? Customs at my end have never had an issue.

[Spruce]

I need a dependable light for work. If this is still open I would like

2 modified originals @ 46. ea. 92.00

Please let me now about shipping costs and preferred payment method. Thanks.

[Mack Heath]

If there are going to be any zoomies left over, please let me know. I could use a couple or three of the white models. Thanks.

[wiljen]

I am fighting with customs. Right now they wont release the parts to me and they wont send them back to china so basically I have $4000 locked on a dock that they wont release because of the batteries. I am still working on this but will gladly refund anyone who prefers not to wait as this has drawn out entirely longer than I wanted. If you wish to withdraw please email me at wiljen.wj (AT) gmail.com and I will happily refund you.

Again, I am sorry for the delays but the US govt has been less than helpful with this.

[Beagle333]

I'll happily wait. I ordered mine for Xmas presents anyway. :grin:

[kfarm]

Good things come with time. Everyone one on this buy be sure to get Will his money, so he won't be out of pocket. Things will get worked out.

[MrWolf]

I can wait, no probs.

[rollmyown]

Sorry to hear you're being mucked about. Hope you get it sorted soon

[Spruce]

I'll wait. Just PM me when it comes time to pay and how much.

[silverjay]

Not in a hurry, I will wait.

You didn't vote right and you frequent gun forums...so no help for you or us ;) hope it gets sorted out soon

[9w1911]

One of the biggest grifts in our government is customs!

[missionary5155]

Howdy wiljen
No problem on waiting here. When I first read about the customs people I started wondering if they might be transplanted from down here. Customs and roadside police checks are the biggest headaches I know of.
Mike in Peru

[MT Gianni]

Wil, i wonder if it is time for a call to a Congressman. Unfortunately they are sometimes needed to get things done. Mention it is a business, not a hobby.

[CGT80]

Any update on those batteries?

I was hoping to try that monster light when I go camping on the 10th, but at this rate it looks like it may be a while.

Can they not just repack them and move them along, even if there is a charge for repacking?

[ga41]

anything ?

[timberhawk]

Only two posts in the last two months by the Honcho on the entire forum.
That's not like him.
I hope he alright and hasn't had a "medical misshape". We're not getting any younger!

[CGT80]

It would be nice to at least hear that he is working on getting this resolved. I will wait for a great product but a lack of activity isn't looking good,

[ga41]

agreed, it has been a month since the last update. I sent an email asking he post an update on here

[Lloyd Smale]

don't be concerned one bit about wiljen. Hes a stand up guy. Id say just leave him alone. To many people asking questions and he might just say the heck with it and make this his last run.

[kfarm]

Please not the last run, I'm addicted

[GL49]

don't be concerned one bit about wiljen. Hes a stand up guy.

I think that pretty much says it all.

[wiljen]

I have had to hire an attorney to file a claim with customs to get the parts released. The claim was filed July 17th and customs has 90 days to decide if they will release the item or if I have to go to court over it. The attorney tells me 95% of the time they release the item rather than fight it as it just isnt worth it to them but that they usually do so at the 11th hour so I should plan on it being most of the 90 days. I apologize for this to all of you and will again re-iterate if you want a refund just email me at wiljen.wj (at) gmail.com and I will do so. I understand the frustration and believe you me, you aint alone.

[Beagle333]

I'm in for the long haul, Will! Fight the good fight! http://www.marlinowners.com/forum/images/smilies/new/viking.gif

[Hamish]

Will, when everyone is taken care of, I wouldn't mind a couple/few zombies if there are leftovers,,,,,

[Blammer]

well, we ought to get them for Christmas at least. :)

[Allgrainbeer]

Hi Folks, based on my past conversations, and interactions with Wiljen, he is a stand up guy! And I cannot forget to mention that I love the product! If they come at Christmas or Easter , I am in it for the long haul and I pray this hiccup with customs does not mean the end of future flashlight orders,,,, I will cry if it does.

[MrWolf]

Like I said before no hurry, we trust you.

[crowbuster]

Like I said before no hurry, we trust you. amen for me to also

[ga41]

thanks for the update !

[MT Gianni]

Wil, please post a list of the items that get cancelled so we can benefit from a great product and see that you don't get stuck with stuff.

[Beagle333]

Wil, please post a list of the items that get cancelled so we can benefit from a great product and see that you don't get stuck with stuff.

+1!! I was already thinkin' I should have ordered more stuff before it closed. [smilie=s:

[Allgrainbeer]

Dang it, you guys thinking outside the box. I call 3 rd in line for left over items. :-)

[SeabeeMan]

I agree with posting what gets cancelled...I'd certainly grab some!

[gamedog53]

If you need us to kick in for the atty fees just say so. No reason you should have to eat the entire expense. These lights are worth the wait...

[Blammer]

I'm sure he'll post up what's left over for sale, it'll get gone fast I'm sure. :)

Just like last time.

[missionary5155]

Good morning
Stuff happens ! And dealing with customs people is either an envelope under the table or lots of patience. Wonderful corrupt bureaucrats at their worst. Mike in Peru

[Lloyd Smale]

why don't you post a way for us to send you some money to help with the lawyers. I don't have much but if everyone kicked in 20 bucks or so im sure it would help. You've done is a great service by providing these lights over the years and Id sure hate to see you get discouraged and stop doing them.

[timberhawk]

+ 1 on what he said.

[silverjay]

+2. .

[Uncle R.]

I'm not even in this buy but I've purchased a bunch of Wiljen lights from his previous offerings.
As so many have stated already he's a stand-up guy for sure, and the lights are worth waiting for.
I hate to see Will having so much trouble this time, and I'd hate even more if he stopped offering his lights to the members here. They are outstanding in quality and value.

Uncle R.

[jcren]

+3 and would love a shot at leftovers. I haven't ordered from you before, but have seen nothing but good things and wouldn't mind pitching in to help.

[Allgrainbeer]

Looks like another 10 days or so. I hope customs does not put up a fight

[DukeInFlorida]

Will,

Hoping that delay will allow me to place an order. PayPal payment sent.

Advise if you can't accept my order. It's for my son.

[JesterGrin_1]

Has anyone heard anything from Wiljen or Will? As I was informed on 5/15/2015 that he would send me out a new switch for the light I purchased from him but have not received one. I have sent him messages since that time with no reply?

Will if you do come back on the forum then please inform me if you will be able to replace the switch or if I should simply write it off. If you can send the switch then by all means contact me for new address information.

In an effort to reach Will I did contact the Moderator dromia but he informed me as of 9/26 that nobody has been able to raise him. And have not heard a thing since from anyone.

[timberhawk]

Well, the 90 days has come and gone. I wonder what's happening.

[Blammer]

I'll try to give him a call.

[Lloyd Smale]

please let us know if hes ok. I could care less about a couple flashlights.
I'll try to give him a call.

[DukeInFlorida]

I am also concerned about Wil.

More so because he has been a friend, and coffee mentor.

I also sent $70 for a light, knowing that I sent the $$$ and order in late.

Just hope he's OK.

Blammer, please report ASAP. Thanks.

[Allgrainbeer]

Hi Blammer, any luck in contacting Wiljen? Is he ok?

[No_1]

I have 2 numbers for him, one which has an answering machine and one which does not. I left a message.

[Blammer]

Spoke to his daughter yesterday, he was in a meeting. I'll try to call again.

[ga41]

Spoke to his daughter yesterday, he was in a meeting. I'll try to call again.

ok, that's great news, wonder why he hasn't been on lately ?

thanks for the update

[Murphy]

I'm thankful to hear is okay.

Murphy

[Allgrainbeer]

I'm thankful to hear is okay.

Murphy

Ditto!

[wiljen]

Well gang, I just finished sending every paypal payment I received back in full as I lost my appeal to customs. They will not release the property without a protracted court battle and I am both tired of it and out of income I can afford to spend on it. I refunded the full amount to the email that originally made every payment. If you paid by check, it will arrive in the next few days to the same address it was sent from.

I apologize for all the hassle, but ultimately I have to shoulder the responsibility so I do not expect you guys to fund it.

Once again, Please accept my apologies and know I tried.

Will

[Blammer]

Well, BIG poo poo!

Thanks for all you have done, too bad customs is such a supercilious group.

[Blammer]

Were the batteries the problem?

Is that the only part you were missing/waiting on from customs? or did they have a bunch of other parts too?

[readr1]

That's integrity right there. Thank you sir.

[wiljen]

Were the batteries the problem?

Is that the only part you were missing/waiting on from customs? or did they have a bunch of other parts too?

They had all the tubes and the batteries. Basically all but the chipset and the LEDs. If I ever do another buy and right now thats a big IF, I will order the batteries a week after everything else from a different vendor so it cannot possibly hang the whole thing out to dry like this did. Live and learn right....

[Beagle333]

Money refunded in full. Thank you Sir and I'll be one of the first in line if you ever do decide to do another one! [smilie=s:

[ga41]

Ditto on that Beagle 333

[crowbuster]

Hate to here that Will. Thanks for all you have done, past and present. If you run another, I'll be in.

[Allgrainbeer]

Your a total stand up guy! If you ever do another one, I will first in line too.

[MrWolf]

Received my refund already. As others said you have demonstrated integrity. Please let me know when you are settled a bit for another buy as I still want your lights.

[cba257]

Bad situation. But thank you Will.

[CGT80]

What a screwed up system!

Thank you for the refund. I'm pretty sure I paid by check and I have cancelled my paypal account, so that is out. I'll keep an eye out for the check.

I was really looking forward to the monster light. I would also be back in to place another order as I love the other lights I got from you and use them daily. Before your lights, a flashlight wasn't a big deal. The headlight is great for automotive work and machining work or detail work. The standard light for around $46 blows away any mag light and sits on my desk where it is handy. I ordered one for my neighbor and my dad along with the monster. I saw many lights out on the internet, but yours are tried and true for a price that was well worth it.

It would be a win win if you were able to do another buy and make back some of the money lost, assuming you can not get tied up in customs again, but I understand your reluctance.

Your honesty is much appreciated and I am sure there are plenty of people out there who would not have gone to the trouble you have to clear up the situation.

[DukeInFlorida]

Thanks, Wil, for the efforts.

While I would have rather gotten a light, whenever it was available, I understand the situation.
Hoping the vendor will offer you a refund, to make you whole again. Otherwise, you're out some serious cash.
Let us know if we can assist you in recovering financially. You're a good guy, and good guys should NOT finish last.

[MT Gianni]

Thanks Wil, Take some time but remember that you make the best flashlights money can buy IMO.

[JesterGrin_1]

Has anyone heard anything from Wiljen or Will? As I was informed on 5/15/2015 that he would send me out a new switch for the light I purchased from him but have not received one. I have sent him messages since that time with no reply?

In an effort to reach Will I did contact the Moderator dromia but he informed me as of 9/26 that nobody has been able to raise him. And have not heard a thing since from anyone.

I am glad that Wiljen is ok. But WilJen I have still not received an answer to the question about whether you will send out that switch that you agreed to send back on 5/15/2015?

[Lloyd Smale]

wish we knew if everything is ok with you. Send me a pm or something. Id sure like to help if you need it and if nothing else id sure hate to see you disappear from here. You've done so much for me that I feel like im in debt to you.

[Circuit Rider]

Lloyd, Ditto for me. I'd be glad to kick in some for Will's loss if he doesn't get his money back. Will, please keep us informed. I've only dealt with you a few times, but always pleased with the product. CR

It has been a rough year all the way round. I don't think any of it is beyond what others face and certianly not on par with some of the cancers and things others have faced. It just has meant that my time has been spent on those priorities first. I am hopeful that things will settle down but for right now it was best to get this cleared and be able to spend more energy on family until some of the health issues get resolved.

Wiljen sorry to hear it But back at 5/15/2015 YOU did promise to send me a replacement switch and never did. You have also not replied to me from the PM's I have sent you so that I can get the part to enable the use of this light again?

11/06/15 still no word from Wiljen of any kind?

Well gang, I just finished sending every paypal payment I received back in full as I lost my appeal to customs. They will not release the property without a protracted court battle and I am both tired of it and out of income I can afford to spend on it. I refunded the full amount to the email that originally made every payment. If you paid by check, it will arrive in the next few days to the same address it was sent from.

I apologize for all the hassle, but ultimately I have to shoulder the responsibility so I do not expect you guys to fund it.

Once again, Please accept my apologies and know I tried.

Will

Hey Will, did you send my check out yet? It was for $318 and I have not seen it in the mail yet.

Thanks,
Chris

I gave up holding my breath as it is now 11/16/15 and still no word of any kind. :(

But I have learned my lesson and that is some things one just should not purchase on a forum. :(

[Springfield]

Jester: what light did you need a switch for? I have an extra one for a Zoomie.

Thank You for the offer Springfield as all here know you are a stand up member. But it would be for the Original style GB light.

And since I am here as of the post today 11/20/2015 still no word. :( But then again I did not expect one.

I haven't received my check in the mail, I'll just bet Will got busy an they'll soon be arriving.

That is what I thought back on 5/15/2015 and that was for what was described to me as a simple part. But have not heard anything back from Wiljen in any way shape or form.

[CGT80]

I emailed Will and he said one other person had a check not make it either. He said he would send out another and have me void one, if they both showed up. He offered to paypal me, but I dropped them like a bad habit a few months back. Hopefully the second check will show up.

[SteveP]

Wiljen,

I have not received my check either. My order was for $381. If you mailed one out already it must have been lost.

[CGT80]

I still have not seen the second check he said he would mail out.

[GL49]

I'm gonna have to figure out how to contact Wiljen. Still no check after 30+ days.

[Blammer]

PM him here is a good way.

[MT Gianni]

Thanks Wil, check arrived today.

[CGT80]

Thanks Wil, check arrived today.

Thanks X2
same for me

That is great to hear that you have received your checks. But I still have not received a switch? Or as he contacted me in any way? And Yes Blammer I did send him PM's through here.

[GL49]

Hey Will, your check arrived in this afternoon's mail.
Thanks, Larry
If you ever decide to have another flashlight group buy, I'd sure be interested.

[SteveP]

Thanks Wiljen, received my check in the mail today. Will be waiting for the next group buy if you decide to run one.

My wife and I will put your name on the prayer list at church this sunday in hope that you find some relief to your problems my friend!
