I grabbed some screenshots of the manual from a YouTube review:
They only specify AA, so I’d assume they’re measuring with alkaleaks. 
On the topic of using the N7 as a headlamp, I’ve found that the headband with the Sofirn SP40 (which is extremely tight on an 18650 tube) fits the N7 just perfectly.
So if you’ve got that light lying around, or are able to order the headband separately from Sofirn, then your N7 can be a nice budget AA headlamp.
Thanks goshdogit, looks reasonable for a non-moonlight low. Between that and the fact the SP40 band works well with it, I may give it a go. :+1:
pretty classic marketing on this. I found the review goshdogit linked to, and the reviewer comments about getting it for $13.99 on Amazon, which is the current “sale” price. Of cource you save another $4.20 with prime, making it a decent deal, but not the barn burner I originally thought. Still going to pick one up.
Also interesting the reviewer commented the light had better run times on the 14500. The manual disagrees, and I suspect with an eneloop the run time will better, albeit not as bright. 250 lumen and 40 lumen sounds good to me.
$13.99 is the normal price at Amazon. It was $9.79 during the Prime Day sale. I ordered one just because it was so cheap :money_mouth_face:
Pretty happy with these 2, Aurora blows away Nitecore tip in output and is so much more compact, good accesorries package as well.
Tool 2.0 works really well & bright with NIMH, perfect beam, they tweaked it a lot from version 1, better tailcap, clip seems stronger, PWM is gone, length a little shorter, but crappier lanyard and packaging, still a great value at $12 from that deal.
Blackbeard… Thanks for the heads-up on Aurora A1 for $21.50… This is my first Rovyvon light. Looks like awesome little light!!
you’re welcome teachtom
wasn’t that price just for Prime Day? I see it at $26 something now?
It was a lightning deal during prime day, back up in price now
I received my Rofis R1 today - I like it.
Nice UI and mode spacing.
Direct access to moonlight, memorized mode and turbo.
Pretty good beam pattern and tint.
Feels good in my hand.
Strong magnet.
Adjustable angle will come in handy.
66g with battery.
I think that 600 is a bit of a reach, I don’t see much difference from nimh and a 14500, for $10 it’s a decent light, I do notice it cuts out briefly when you attach the magnet to a surface or tap the bottom hard, I cant get it to do this by shaking it, so it only loses contact briefly on that type of impact, not too big of a deal tho. Could use a third brightness level but can’t complain too much for the price point.
Do Prime deals block Vipon coupons from working?
I finally was able to use the 50% off coupon for the Rofis R2 even with the Prime sale of $38.97.
My total was $20.48 for 1. Sweet. I was expecting the $29.48 shown in Vipon.
I wonder how this light compares to the Nicron N7 for half the price?
I can’t find the Vipon coupon, can you link to it please?
Your link takes you here : https://www.vipon.com/#/details/6526612
No Rofis coupon it seems. Please advise.
Thanks
I should clarify that I’ve not used Vipon before. I think you need to sign up in order to take advantage of their deals.
I simply searched for ‘flashlight’ and found the Rofis R2 deal information page I linked to.
The Vipon page has an ‘open in Amazon’ link below the photo. I assume you need to be logged into Vipon to see the price change on Amazon.
EDIT: I found the page while using my iPad. Oddly, I just tried my link on a laptop and it took me to Vipon’s homepage.
Try the mobile version of the link by clicking here. I simply replaced ‘www’ with ‘m’ in the beginning of the link and it takes me to the page I see on my iPad.
It looks like this:
Well, I signed up for Vipon and clicked the ‘open in Amazon’ link, but it is showing a price of $38.97 Prime instead of the $29.98 Vipon price.
I wonder if the deal is expired and has been removed from Vipon’s main site but not from the mobile site?
Perhaps a member with Vipon experience can chime in to help?
