GearBest asked me to share a promotion they're running, the Utorch SF01 is on sale for $9.99 $6.99 with the code GBUtorchSF01 GBQCSF01N. This light claims to be compatible with CR123, AA, and AAA batteries, which would make it a great backup light.
A user has commented saying this light may in fact only work with CR123. If you have one, please confirm.
I hope you have fun here, FlashlightDeals!

I wish they had prices like that on the newer S2+ lights with the updated driver, emitter, and body color.
Find all my reviews of flashlights and more gear at www.bmengineer.com
The prices aren't as good, but there are some deals on the updated S2+ lights as well.
I'll keep an eye out for better deals on these lights in the future.

Gearbest asked me to share some promotions with you. I went through their available sales, and hand picked a small selection of deals that were good enough I considered buying them. Most of these are lights that are fairly popular on this site.
The Nitecore TIP CRI is as low as $15.99 for some colors. All colors are available, but not all are this cheap.
The JetBeam TH20 is discounted by 41% down to $65.99. This is a large, high output light that was reviewed by zeroair.
You can pick up a Convoy S2+ for $9.99. This is the older version with 3/5 mode groups and an XM-L2.
The new Convoy C8+ is available for $19.99 in desert tan with a cool white tint, which is $4 less than through the Convoy store. Other tints are available, but at a slightly higher cost. This light uses the newer Biscotti firmware.
The Convoy S2+ UV with the Nichia UV emitter is discounted to $20.99.
The popular Skilhunt H03 can be grabbed in neutral white for $29.99.
The Nitecore P36 is an older light, but it uses the still well-regarded MT-G2 emitter and has an output mode dial. It's 25% off at a price of $69.99. Here's a review by civilgearreviews.
Hopefully these deals are useful to the community - if there's enough interest, I'll update these in the future. If you'd like a deal on any product not listed, let me know and I'll see what I can find.

Have a good weekend and ask if you are looking for deals on any other lights or recommendations and I will do my best to help. As always, these links are affiliate links.
Gearbest latest deals
A few new products showed up. No huge deals, but all worth a look. Most of these include batteries and built in charging, which is good for new users.
On The Road M3 Pro at $34.57, an Olight clone with USB-C charging and an included 16340 battery.
Wuben TO40R at $49.99 with included cell and built in charging.
Wuben TO46R at $52.99, a triple with included cell and built in charging.
Wuben L50 at $35.65 with included cell and built in charging.
Wuben A21 at $149, a ramping light with included 21700 cell, built in charging, and an XHP70.
Wuben E01 at $13.99, small AAA light. Not the best emitter used.
Flashlight watch at $9.99. I don't actually suggest anyone buy this, but it was ridiculous enough to share with the community. Comes with compass, charging, and 4 light modes. Unspecified brand and LED. Again, do not actually recommend doing anything other than looking at this.

Hi Everyone! Here's your weekly update on the hottest deals on GearBest, as well as some new products that might be interesting.
Deals
The Skilhunt H03 is discounted 21%, bringing it to $31.99.
The Nitecore HC60 Neutral White is discounted 21%, bringing it to $49.99. For an extra $9 over the Skilhunt, this has more throw, an included cell, and a standard USB charging connection.
The Convoy S2+ UV is discounted 17%, bringing it to $23.99. Great for scorpion hunting, rocks, and curing UV glue. Did you know that UV reactivity is used in gemology to grade stones?
The Skilhunt H03 RC is discounted 25%, bringing it to $40.99. Last week these deals ran out quickly, this headlamp is quite popular.
The Nitecore TIP CRI is discounted 37%, bringing it to $15.99. So far, high CRI keychain lights are a favorite among those reading my posts.
The Convoy C8+ is discounted 17%, bringing it to $19.99.
The BLF 348 is discounted 35%, bringing it to $5.99. I have confirmed this uses the 219C, not the 219B.
New Releases
The Folomov B5M 26650 flashlight/powerbank for $79.00. Complete kit with cell included. If you are in the US, this light is around this price on Amazon as well and they may ship faster.
The Folomov B4M 18650 flashlight/poewrbank for $52.00. Complete kit with cell included.
The Folomov A1 launched with a 45% discount, bringing it to $5.99. This is one of the smallest and most versatile powerbank/chargers, although HKJ noted the termination voltage when charging is a bit low. Great to toss in a bag.
The On The Road M3 Pro 16340 light with usb-C charging for $24.79. There are also versions that include cells.
As always, feel free to ask if you're looking for recommendations or for deals that are not on this list. In addition to finding deals, I can always reach out to my contacts at GearBest to see if they can make you a coupon on certain items. If you find anyone getting in to the hobby and looking for a place to start, feel free to send them my way as well.
Gearbest latest deals
This week’s update will be my last post of the month, so I decided to do something a bit different. The links in this post will still be affiliate links from GearBest. What’s changed is the format.
I’m betting most of you following these posts have picked up some of the recurring deals. GearBest often has some high CRI keychain lights and a few good headlamps that are always good deals. Most of you have bought a BLF-348, a TIP CRI, and a Skilhunt H03 (or the RC variant). So for this week, I’m going to post some lights you can use to find something unique and round out the selection.
Lights made from other metals
Aluminum is popular because it’s strong, light, and a good conductor. For those of you that don’t think it’s stylish, or that are too hipster to have the same material as everyone else, here are some options.
Zanflare F6S, a tiny brass keychain light
Nitecore TIP Cu, a slightly larger copper keychain light
Nitecore TINI Cu, again slightly larger and copper, but with much more output
Power Banks
If you’re going to carry around a high powered battery, you might as well carry one that can charge your phone and light up a room.
Folomov A1 is the smallest, cheapest way to add this to an existing battery. No light though.
Nitecore F1, a popular and versatile lightweight single battery option
XTAR PB2 will take two 18650 batteries and turn them into a portable power bank with charge level readout
Nitecore F2 takes two F1s and smacks them into one unit
Folomov B4M adds micro USB output to a 1200 lumen 18650 light
Folomov B5M is a 26650 light with micro USB out
Rofis MR50 uses a new 21700 cell and has micro USB out, for more capacity than an 18650 while being slimmer than a 26650. The included battery is the same capacity as the one with the B5M.
Rofis MR70 again uses a 26650, with two separate LEDs for flood and throw
Lights that aren’t tubes
Sometimes you want different shapes in your collection. Aside from the keychain lights mentioned above, these are worth a look. And they won’t roll away on you.
Nitecore MT22A, a dual AA light with the cells side by side
Mecarmy FL02, I’m not even sure how to describe this shape.
Nitecore Concept 2 is a square, but still pretty tube-ish
Mecarmy FL10, a light that’s also a carabiner and a can opener.
Lanterns
Great for power outages and camping.
Nitecore LR10 has a built in battery and is high CRI
Nitecore LA30 has a built in batter and can use two AAs, and is high CRI
Zanflare T1 is not high CRI or in stock sadly, but is a great price and has cool white, warm white, and red modes so keep checking
Nitecore LA10 CRI is a pocketable AA lantern
Lights that transform
Most lights stay the same shape they were when you bought them. If that sounds boring, look no further than these options.
Nitecore Thumb is a keychain light with a tilting head
Nitecore LR12 has an internal diffuser than slides out for lantern use
Rofis R2 is an AA light with a rotating head so it can be used as a headlamp or an angled work light
Nitecore MT21C is an 18650 light with a tilting head and a magnetic base for work
USB-C charging
If you want your light to use the next big thing in charging standards, here it is
On the road M3 Pro 16340 pocket light
Wuben A21 21700 high power light
That’s all for now! Hopefully you can find something that’s nothing like what you already have somewhere in this list. Comment below with the unique lights that didn’t make it on to this list. Maybe I can find something to round out my collection as well!

GearBest asked me to share a promotion they’re running, the Utorch SF01 is on sale for $9.99 with the code GBUtorchSF01. This light claims to be compatible with CR123, AA, and AAA batteries, which would make it a great backup light.

I believe it's CR123 only.
It would be extremely strange if it worked with CR123, AA, and AAA batteries.

That's what I thought, but my person at grrarbest says it works .Can't find any review to confirm .
Gearbest latest deals
On the page of the flashlight, itself, there is a video that seems to confirm that it is only for CR123 cells. At least judging by the space left:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=xgp1XJJzpkQ
Funny thing is: is this a “1 mode at a time” flashlight, or it can also be a “3 mode” flashlight?
The UI operation is not completely clear

That's what I thought too. I'll make note in the post, thanks for the feedback.
Gearbest latest deals
Not enough details to know about the UI or internals but as far as being able to use cr123a, AA and AAA batteries, the SF01 would appear to be a copy of the Streamlight Protact 1L-1AA, which does take cr123a and AA (and possibly AAA although with a little wiggle.)
Seeking the light.
Looks promising. If anyone buys this light, let me know what cells it works with and I will update.
Gearbest latest deals
The springs seem to be “big” to be shrunk, so maybe it can take all of the 3 types!
I assume that it would only be good for AAs or AAAs (in my case) as CR123s are expensive and it doesn’t seem to be compatible with Li-Ion’s
