OK BLF'ers. I proudly bring to you, what I consider to be the "DEAL OF THE YEAR" so far, on a light I have been wanting (stalking, really) for a very long time! After much talks and negotiation, here it is.... Drumroll.........
You really don't need a 4th, lol. Let's not be selfish! But... you could always buy some for relatives and close friends. It makes the perfect light,as it takes AA's instead of lithium ion, so don't have to worry about safety. Man, I could only wish someone would give me this for my birthday present! But my fiancee thinks I have too many flashlights as it is! She's so wrong! At $50 even, this is the perfect deal!
I plan to update my signature once I get this beauty. I'm gonna place it right between my SRK and my L2T :)
I had to go Cool White! I really wanted to go Neutral, but I'm so scared I might not like the tint. I know, I'm chicken. They really need to make a 3rd option for people like me, Neutracool...
And I love that this light comes with a nice stainless steel bezel. One of the few lights that I will own, that I will probably never, ever mod one bit! Well, maybe not never!
The hardest question I have to ask myself is, do I put Eneloop or Eneloop XX in it, lol. I have so many eneloops laying around, having a 1 year old son, I bought like $250 worth of eneloops. Can never have too many batteries, lol. I like the 70% after 5 year storage regular Eneloops provide(but only 2000mah), but love the 2500mah capacity Eneloop pro has (70% after 1 year storage). So hard to choose!
I like warm emitters, but I can settle for neutral. I also have a box full of Eneloops, but my kids are grown now so I don’t have near as many AA operated devices around the house. That was why I jumped on this deal, my batteries need a new home :bigsmile:
Ya, I have about 25 AA Eneloop pro, and 40 regular AA eneloop with nothing to put them in. Anything and everything that can take a eneloop has an eneloop. I guess I bought too many. I'm feeling the urge to get 1 more D40A, probably in neutral white.
This is one of my favorite lights that I have never owned, up until now, and feel like I honestly need at least 2 of these to feel happy. Ideally, I really want 4, but that's just selfish of me, or is it!
It's really bad when I have to sneak to the mailbox every single day, before my fiancee gets home, so she doesn't know that I bought another flashlight. I feel like in a year from now, my collection is going to be as big as DayLighters, lol. Ok, maybe not that big!
Haha InfinitusEquitas I so badly want to use funds I will get soon on it but then again, it is not reasonable! I have flashlights that have my needs covered bar a 18650 multi cell light
Thanks for posting this one. I hope BG delivers. It is my first order from them. Sounds like a great light and I’m glad it is available in neutral. Does anyone who has a neutral have a guess on what tint bin they are using?
I think I remember reading selfbuilt said it was either 3B or 3C, but it's in that selfbuilt review thread somewhere. Alot of people seem to love the neutral white in the D40A though.
On a side note, I got a nice surprise from Energizer this morning to my Paypal account. I'm $40 richer because of the Energizer 25th anniversary rebate. Looks like I might just have to order the neutral white D40A now!
GARGH! Bought a CW. Then I read that Vinh loves the NW version… goldilocks tint he calls it. So I sent an email to Banggood customer support to cancel the CW, and then I ordered a NW. THEN I read Selfbuilt’s review (post 62 where he compares CW and NW) and he said that not only is the NW a little green tinged (which I HATE….hello olight?) but also about %10 less output.
Now I’m wishing I hadn’t cancelled the CW. Should’ve just waited for both to get here and decided for myself.
