Wow! What more could I want? Does it have mode memory? Forward clicky? I just might have to buy this one.

Great deal for USA consumers.

$34 shipped for U2 CW
$35 shipped for T6 NW

That’s a whopping $1 more for fast shipping from a reliable local seller! Regardless if you think the price is too high, it’s still competitive with the shops overseas.

Also, the rest of the Balder lights are being offered at prices LOWER than the popular Chinese shops. For instance, they have the BD-4 priced at $85 plus shipping. That’s about $20 lower. I still think it’s much too expensive, however, the point is market price is still competitive. It’s hard for a USA resident to justify buying overseas with these deals on Balder products.

No mode memory. The switch is not a forward or reverse clicky. It’s a bit unique… its a piston switch.

Yea I try to keep prices pretty competitive for US customers. If you were to buy a light from overseas like this it would usually take about 3 weeks, then if there are any warranty issues you have to mail it back (and there would probably be a 50% chance it would be lost in the mail). So its always worth that extra buck or two to buy local. :slight_smile:

Bump just got more Neutral White HD-1’s in stock, but U2 CW will be about a week out… All the units I have in stock now are the new version with improved 14500 compatibility and an easier to press piston switch.
