Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

2.06A at tail with a sofirn battery.

Looks like SOS in mode group and strobe on dbl click. Had to get head off with a towel and 2 pliers. No glue just gorilla assembly or maybe Jason and I are wimps.

It sort of fits with E2L and convoy but the last thread if the head isn’t quite right. One way fits better than the other so YMMV.

Need to take it apart more but looks like decent retaining rings and stuff. If switch and pill is good then it will be worth.

Will test battery too. IR seems high but not terrible.

I used cut up pieces of a bicycle inner tube. One wrapped around the head with a hose clamp tightened over it, the other around the body with large pliers to turn it. The hose clamp gives something big to grab onto to turn it. I’ve opened several lights this way that the manufacturer didn’t seem to want opened. All the layers of rubber wrapped around it protect the light from the pliers and stuff.

The magnet is very strong. I stuck it to my fridge, I might just leave it there instead of adding it to the other bunches of lights sitting on my desk.

Tail switch says Omten!

Brass pill is a bit different. It isn’t threaded the entire length but seems decent quality?

MCPCB is probably fine for this 2A light but I think we all expect to replace it if we change the driver anyway.

Typical OP reflector and plain glass lens (a plus for me, no green shift)

LED is Olight blue

Charger seems like crap, I don’t think I would even give it away for free (the ENTIRE circuitry is pictured to the right). Says 500mA output on bottom.

Battery seems accurately rated but nothing special of course. I tested it at 2501mAh with a 3.5A discharge rate.

In summary: well worth the $5.50 purchase as either a giveaway light (as is) or a host for something better

I bought one of these $5.46 Wassblue X2 lights at the Amazon flash sale with discount coupon (thanks). Hell, I would have paid twice as much — LOL.

The beam is nice neutral/almost white and a good balance between throw and flood with few artifacts, if any. Also, the included pink rapped 18650 also maxed out at 2545mAh after ten hours on the Lii-500 and appears to be usable. I trashed the included charger. By my naked eye guess, max lumens appear to be around 900 or so compared to some of my other lights. The clicky works fine (for now). The SOS included in the UI is not too bad since it is not a strobe flash and can be quickly clicked passed by.

At $118, the ThruNite TN36 Limited Version is at an all-time low price according to https://camelcamelcamel.com. It normally sells for about $140.

Check Vipon for a code on the Lumintop IYP365 Pen Light that brings the Amazon price down to $12.59. These are perhaps the finest penlights I own. Worth the look IMHO.

Code doesn’t work for me

I’m so tired of Vipon codes not working 80% of the time

Vipon has ruined their site. You can no longer search upcoming deals. Even if you download the app you can only scroll through ALL the upcoming deals, no searching. So if the deal you want isn’t currently active, good luck knowing if it’s coming back. It worked great before they changed everything.

Are vipon codes singular or is it just one code ?

If it's a common code that doesn't change then why not post a link and the code ?

I'm not sure I've ever had a vipon deal work but I am not a huge fan of jumping thru too many hoops /

\ if it works ...share it . if you're talking about a deal provide a link

Strange, I just purchased one for $10.49 after the Vipon code and 10% coupon.

The Vipon code I used is CCWGY9RV, and (FWIW) I'm a Prime member.

Someone can try this code (leave a reply if it gets used): CCWGY9RV (used)

I got it hoping it would work on the IYP07 but it doesn’t

thanks contactcr worked fine! $10.49 :money_mouth_face:

I’m a little late to this thread, but the CCWGY9RV code just brought the light down to $10.49 for me, too (with the 10% coupon). I’m a Prime member, too.

Vipon deal goes active again at 6 pm central daylight time.
Rockpals 300W portable Generator.

Same here … $10. 49 … great deal.

Thanks

Got one. Thanks!

Lumintop EDC01 with 10% discount plus the Vipon coupon makes the price $3.99 to the door for prime Members. You can order more than one but the 10% discount only applies to one, the Vipon coupon works for multiples.
