I bought each of the two Forfar 18650 lights. At 5.10 each with prime delivery, they are both good deals as hosts.
The tube light looks it is the same body as the Sofirn SF12. I’d guess the driver (marked YYS12-01) is too. The host has a brass pill for the driver and LED. the deep aluminum reflector then screws to the pill, and the pill screws into the head. Driver modes kind of suck, and the lower modes have PWM. LED is cold and bluish.
The VG10 host looks identical to the thorfire VG10. The driver is marked VG15. I think the modes & memory make sense with the forward clicky switch it uses. The emitter is also cool, but closer to neutral,I find the tint nicer. I think this could be a nice & cheap light with just an emitter swap. I ordered two more with that in mind.
Well, unless you got one that looks different from the Amazon listing and different than the one I just received, the Forfar is different than the VG10, look at the tailcap knurling and the head krunl ring, both are different.
This flashlight body is actually pretty much exactly like a previous discontinued light called the Volador. They were being blown out on Amazon for around $12.99 and then $9 in December of 2016
I got 2 of those and they are rock solid.
I believe it to be a Alpha or Beta version of the VG10 that Thorfire never picked up as it does indeed share the internals with both brands.
Anyway, heck of a good score for $5
Thanks to the OP of this deal!
You are right. I wasn’t looking very closely. Definitely not a rebranded VG10, but not far off.
I picked up two more. I need to find some centering rings that will work with 3535 emitters. I spent more time modding the centering ring for the first light than I did on reflowing a new emitter, pulling the old mcpcb/emitter, and soldering in the new one.
Thanks, I ordered one. I don’t have prime, and your code takes $12 off for a final price of $17.99 with free shipping only if you order something else to bring the total over $25 (or if you have prime).
Has anyone ever seen a discount code for Olight on amazon, or is it one of those brands that just sells at a certain price no matter what? I am really wanting to try out the M2T warrior.
Thanks so much for the code and the heads up, have been waiting for this charger to be on sale for less than $20 for like 6 months now so it was a no brainer.
I have the Opus and like it, but this has Power Bank ability which will come in handy when traveling later his week.
Perfect timing!
I wanted some sockets that were “add-on” items only, needed something to make my minimum, and whaddya know, here’s this charger.
My almighty Miboxer only does cap tests in one bay (#4), my Opus gets heat-stroke and the fan buzzes like an angry bumblebee, my Nitecore is nice and robust but doesn’t analyse much at all, so that leaves Zanflare.
And here’s the coupon making it an irresistable price.
C’mon Bezos… want that second in-ground pool? It’s on me…
The $17.99 price is a great deal for a four-slot analyzing charger. This charger is set up somewhat like the Lii-500 in that the layout seems up-side-down. But from the BLF reviews (below), it seems like a decent charger. I don't really need another charger, but couldn't resist picking one up at this price! Thank!
