Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Coupon code also works for the Blue @ $5.70

So far I have 8 black and 2 blue. Good for gifts and to have all over house and shop. Best $5 light I have found this year.
Last round, I was skeptical of posting the deal and the coupon expired before I received the light and could confirm it was a good light.

Get more than one for the deal prices.

Have 2 of the black ones from last round, just ordered a Blue.
Am running a Soshine LifePo 3.6 volt in the black one and modes work and it hasn’t died yet although I have not run it for extended periods of time. YMMV.
Heck of a flashlight for the price of a Big Mac :slight_smile:

Score!

Tnx!

Code won’t work for me, guess it ended. Would have been great modder gift.

Edit: reloaded page and it worked, thanks!

Cool, glad it worked.
Deal is no longer listed on the place I found it…
But I hope more people get the deal.

Code works for me, unfortunately shipping cost to Indonesia is double the flashlight’s price :person_facepalming:

Thank you vwpieces. Red one was $5+ too with the code. My mother recently gave away the red Thrunite I had given her years ago. She was in Colorado on some cave tour and people were very impressed at the little lights output. So she gave it to relative that was there with her. She has been missing the light so maybe this will replace it. Bonus is that it has modes. The Thrunite only had one mode.

Only got black and blue. Tried all 4, only 2 worked. Was hoping for purple.

Same like with the A01/Boney. Only gray was a decent price; all other colors, especially purple, were like 3× as much.

Wonder if I could “pencil trick” it to being 1-mode… :smiley:

Thanks. Just ordered one.

Do you guys run regular alkaline batteries or Nimh cells in these? Is there a benefit to one over the other?

I always run eneloop (nimh) or rewrapped eneloop. No leakage issues.

And what fun is a half dead battery? I always want a full one. With alkaline you’d be throwing that battery away (or figuring out a use for a half dead battery). With nimh, just recharge and you’re back to 100%.

Loads of fun! Par-tay! :PARTY:

Like my bobofett light! It’ll go all joule-thief on it ’til the cell’s crying for mercy. Perfect moonlight down to firefly mode ’til it’s all wrung dry. No need to keep your normal light on moonlight mode, just keep this one around on a nightstand, and it’s go-time!

And no chance of making the mistake of still having it on turbo when you want to make a late-night trip to the can, or for a drink, or whatever, then blinding yourself and seeing nothing but big green spots for the next half-hour.

NiMh or alkaline…
I have AAA Eneloop and black Amazon rechargeables and use those mostly,
Also have some cheap AC Delco AAA Alkalines that sometimes find their way into my pocket light.

The AAA alkaline will last for a really long time on short bursts, what I use most at work. If I am outside working on something and using for long periods I always will use a rechargeable.
Generally an NiMh on high will get the light warm and an alkaline will not. Obviously the NiMh is brighter…
Overall run time of usable light the alkaline will run longer. Even a half dead alkaline will come back a bit for more short bursts with some time back in the pocket.

Odepro KL42 Zoomie for $16.99, includes an Odepro 3000 mAh cell and charger.

Amazon also has a couple of promotions with the purchase of this light.

The next promotion is 2 free gun mounting rings for the KL42 - code is OANTPDYS - entered at checkout.

I just got mine. There is no way the low mode is only 0.1lm. If I had to guess, it’s somewhere between 1 and 2 lm. I wish it was lower. But other than that, it’s a nice little light. The mid mode is great as it gives a nice balance between output and battery life. Without a battery, it only weighs 0.3 oz. This is my smallest flashlight to date. I had some Eneloops sitting around collecting dust, so that’s what I’m currently using in it.

Ditto to all the above. Just gave one to the gf to use as a brim-clip-on headlamp, and got more for myself as spares. Definitely handy!

I noticed my glaree only has 3 modes, not the advertised 4. Moon is missing. Nice little light, wish I could order another but I couldn’t get the code to work again.

Don’t they count strobe as a “mode”? Ie, l/m/h/s?

No, the manual clearly shows moon, l, m, h with strobe separate. I sent an email to glaree to check on it. Nice little light, but I love moon mode, so….

Mine doesn’t. It shows Moon, Low, High, and Strobe. So that’s 4 modes total including strobe.

Ah crap - you’re all right. I completely misread the manual! It’s CLEARLY 3 modes + strobe. :person_facepalming:
