Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

They sent me one of those lights 6 months or so ago for a review. I couldn’t say one good thing about it so I told them if they wanted to send me a return label I would send it back to them. Haven’t heard from them since. They don’t claim them to be made in the USA they just have a office in the US. The tail cap knob is just plain awful, the tint is awful, the switch is awful, lumen output is highly exaggerated, and if I remember correctly the lens is plastic. I don’t recall if it was that light or another one I had at about the same time. I threw the Teslacom away so I am not sure if I am correct on the lens part. Junk, I would have been happier with a Bell and Howell TacLight.

Tom, was there a coupon or discount. Seems like a decent light.

Nice update Todd. There goes my purchase.

Wow, Love that gold color. If cheap I might grab one.

What's a lightning deal? How do you check? I see it's like $99 now.

No, never will either...

Hhhmm, that's close to my impressions. Been email conversing with these guys, ripping them basically but they seem eager to listen. Not gonna ask to return it but had been very close to. Dang think seems all glued up, but will try to get her open.

Yes - button is tuff and hidden, rear knob lubed up with Nyogel so little better - want to spend more time on it. Lumens is in the 500's, 15 kcd.

It’s the same company from above that sounds terrible. This same design has been around a long time but I have no first hand experience with them so YMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMV

Well, you can get them cheaper. Even Sofirn is selling similar SRK clones. I bought a couple, actually one is a 12X in gold that actually looks great, was cheap. I modded it to boost amps, and mixed in a bunch of old XM-L2's in various tints - actually came out pretty nice.

I guess the “Lightening” already struck & dissipated. … I can’t find it with either link. :wink:

Top link is $99.

Bottom link goes to ‘deals’ but I can’t locate it.

That may well be ’operator error’ on my end though. :slight_smile:

Just started….

$59 not bad

The S1 R II is $85, only 15% off. Not a compelling deal.

Summer and Autumn are at $59. The winter one that I was looking for is $85 which is a joke.

@ rcwiily…. Thanks for the link. :+1:

Yeah peg… I do not feel compelled at all in fact. :wink:

I’ll be honest, I felt a little compelled…

ThorFire CT01 $3.50
