September Groupbuy in DD

[newbie74]

V10A

But the price will have to be a lot better....

[Buwuve]

I think most users of the forum have a lot of flashlights, but what about nice batteries. Some people are searching batteries and not only Li-Ion, also AA Ni-MH with low self discharge rate (LSD). Dinodirect offers Eneloops, but they are extremly overpriced: 13,69€ ($18,69) for 4 batteries.

In Germany I pay only 14,09€ for 8 with boxes and I get genuine.

A flashlight, which looks really nice is this one:

But we don't have many information. Which batteries are used (AA or AAA), what kind of LED is built in?

+1 for either Palight t6 or bg-8011c

[Vectrex]

My vote goes to the Xeno E03 XM-L in T5 neutral or even T4 warm maybe with the diffuser Xeno TW15 included. The Sunwaymans might be too expensive even after a nice discount to generate much interest. The target price after discount should be under $40 (or even under $30) to go with our "budget" theme.

The trouble with the Trustfire X9 is the erratic or poor draw and that it is difficult to mod the driver and especially the emitter.

I suggested (at Post 52 of this thread) another High Quality 57mm headed light that can be used as either 1*18650 or 2*18650. Take a look at the links I posted there inc. 2100's comments on the quality of its body.

I think it would be a better GD than the X9.

What doesn't make the Palight erratic. There isn't a large number of people to report about it. What makes the current draw good on that one?

Ok I will agree with this. I have been straying away from the budget theme recently and got carried away with wanting the sunwayman. If they are already as cheap as can be then I agree. 30-40$ seems like a good peak price.

It's a great concept to take advantage of group buying a more expensive light we generally wouldn't consider to bring it down to a more reasonable price. However, this limits the amount of buyers, therefore theoretically lessening the break and it also alienates a lot of members who truly are here because they're budget-minded on price alone.

How about DD provides a list of their top 3 profit margin lights in a certain price range and we choose from those? Too much disclosure? :D haha

[Vectrex]

Did someone actually buy the V10a for US$ 62.69 ? (13 hours left) Which is a good price considering that HK equipment wants $82.

[E1320]

The TrustFire TR-3T6 Triple XM-L T6 5-Modes Memory LED Flashlight (3x18650) for $40 would seal the deal for me.

Well said Weiser...

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! But dang, I'm sooo tied up with funds right now.

@JohnnyMac

So $62.69 for the V10A is this months deal?? This is BLF, not CPF. We need deals most of us can afford.

+1 Wonder if DD knows what Budget means.

[weiser]

All I know for certain is we need to choose a light that gets a 5-star rating on DD

It's actually a very good price, 20 bucks less than normal price. Of course it's not a budget light, it's even more expensive than Fenix brand, IMO.

[coolperl]

OK... how about these ones. They are well known on the forum and if a good price was offered, maybe more people could see what's all the fuss about:

大龙网_跨境电商B2B商机平台_移动端跨境贸易新体验 (note, that this one is with battery and charger …since it’s probably crap, how about flashlight only with even better pricing?)

[fishmaniac]

Coolperl, I agree. Either a triple xm-l or the Trustfire X9. I didn't notice the posts above regarding people wanting one. I love mine and would have no problem getting another.

But of course, price is king.

That deal is not for this forum or for a group buy, that's their price for the next 12h.

I’m with you on this one. It’s a shame DD doesn’t carry any Xeno lights. Under $30 should be the target for all of these group buys as they will get the most sales from us that way. The Xeno E03 normally sells for just over $30 so if they could give us even a 20% discount they’d sell a lot of them.

+1 This is a very good light! Their current price of $37.71 is actually quite good, and group buy price could be even lower..

Summer: How good offer can you make? We want Skyray STL-V2 for a good price!

[The reason for me being so excited is that I finally received my FF STL-V6 from DX and it's great!! ~48k lux@1m without modifications!!]

So you see a price of $37.71 for the Skyray STL-V2 on DD website?

[_the]

OIC, I stand corrected. It was EUR instead of USD.. I hate links with currency baked in. :(

Summer: Adjust the group buy price to $35 and you will sell many of those!
