:money_mouth_face: . Well said…. . :+1:
Oh, how I hate you guys…
I just pulled the trigger on one-a those Teslacoms.
Like I ain’t got enough Q8s and DC7s…
Something like 7000K Angry Blue™.
Tempting but if I buy it I can’t hold two beer cans in my hand. 
I know it’s not worth it but that is the fun in what some of us do. A $10 light with $20 worth of LED’s. Got some from Arrow (4000K) at $1.60 each. XML2’s are fairly inexpensive for most. Since I had to order $50 worth of stuff for no handling or shipping fees I ordered some XHP 70.2’s as well. Good thing about it all is I didn’t care about the extra cost. I also have 2 Q8’s and 4 Sofirn Q8’s. Emitters will be changed on those as well n the future. I just like the warmer tints. The original tint on the Teslacom is a 6500ish K which I am not a fan of.
I get it.
I have more than enough hobbies where this (spending more updating than purchase price) applies and don’t want to add another hobby.
Not enough time so modifying flashlights is not what I’m looking forward to.
I would just buy and use it.
If that’s not enough, I will buy more.
My time is worth more as the minimum wage here is now over $10/hr and I don’t work at that rate, not even close. 
However, if a few minutes work will significantly improve something, I’d do that regardless of what it is.
I’m pretty good in soldering as another hobby of mine includes electronics.
Got it… nice, but ain’t terribly impressed.
Tailcap is completely devoid of any lube or O-rings.
UI is rather hideous (only cycles high/low/off, press’n’hold for strobe). Forget about moonlight, low, or even using at night at all unless you want only bright or brighter. Imagine a Q8 that only had 50%/25%/off as its modes.
Button has a nice soft touch, but is about as waterproof as white-bread.
Angry Blue™ emitters, at least 1B if not in the 0s.
Nowhere near 10000lm, about half as bright as my DC7 (pulled the Imalents from that after doing a ceiling-bounce, put ’em in the TC, and again tried ceiling-bounce).
Distinct unmissable flower-petal spill. Anyone remember Spirograph?
But for 11bux, it kicks ass.
Still, shelf-queen. Who’s gonna want a 11buk light that needs 30bux worth of cells?
Hey, who posted that lead to the pair of Kiwi kitchen-knives? Thought it was over here as an amazon deal.
Got mine, hella nice for the price.
Vipon.com has a 50% off coupon code to get a Sofirn SF02 penlight on Amazon for $6.50. I couldn’t pass up the chance for an affordable gift, especially since I have free Prime shipping.
They also have a killer deal on the Sofirn SP40 headlamp: $15. Looks like you can grab a coupon but can’t use it yet as Amazon doesn’t have stock right now.
I was just about to post this. Try this link instead the one listed on vipon, it actually came out being $13.49 not $15
They have stock now. Just ordered one for $13 thats insane value!! Thank you gchart!
$13 for the SP40 set including the battery and 18350 tube is crazy! And next day shipping
Is it over? I don’t see a coupon.
Same here. I don’t see how to get it either. Help appreciated…. 
Thanks for posting. Just got one for $13.49.
If you can’t find the deal at Vipon, search for “Sofirn”.
Got one. Hope I didn’t snag teacher’s!
Can someone explain how you are getting it for $13.49 please.
I click that link but see nothing to reduce the price.
I got it for $14.20 with tax . Odd thing was Vipon Amazon link said the light was unavailable but if I went directly to Amazon , it was in stock and the coupon worked.
