Are itp A3 eos from lightake R5 or Q5?

LED Flashlights – General Info 1 x AAA Flashlights

Hi guys!


As we know, several months ago, itp said that the itp A3 eos will be never manufactured with Q5. All new A3 eos will be manufactured with xpg-r5 at the same price than the Q5 versions....

But...

Lightake continues selling them as "Q5" at the same price.


Has anyone of you bought recently a itp A3 from lightake recently?

Which led has the A3 from lightake?

Thanks!

Old stock needs to be sold of - But did I hear it the other way round ? ITP had no plans to replace the Q5 with the XP-G R5 - and the small run that was done was not going to become the norm .

Is there a web site for ITP ?

Itp said that Q5 version is not manufactured any more. If you find Q5 version being sold is old stocks


(in theory....)

Ok just looked on Ebay , lots of R5s available ...

Time to buy a ITP

Ok it was the A2 - they said there were no plans to make it R5

If only i can open mine up for an emitter change… (maratac aa)
Ive been thinking of the itpA3 r5 SS, but its $30 from most stores in the US. Hk dealers dont seem to stock the r5 itp A3, only the Q5

Cheapest ITP A3 R5 appears to be $18.50 for the standard http://goinggear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_19&products_id=2307 or $20.50 for the upgrade http://goinggear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_19&products_id=2310 .

It's from the US but shipping according to the estimator is $4.96 for NZ, Malaysia or South Africa and $5.20 for Germany, Poland, Sweden or United Kingdom (and seemingly Australia, don't ask me why). That may seem to add up to more then eBay but http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?197162-GoingGear.com-10-off-ALL-items-coupon-is-back-on! also used here https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/1220 is probably still valid and gives 10% off the item (but not I think shipping) so presuming shipping estimator is right, that ends up being $23.41 for NZ or $23.65 for Europe and Australia for the upgrade.

Some one on BLF said that lightake was selling q5's <in the description and shipping xpgr5's ..I heard and and am repeating it .. but ymmv......don't hold me to it .. you might want to search back a few weeks in what did you get today thread ..i'm pretty sure I just saw it ..

I have the q5 and the PWM is terrible ..makes the light unusable

I was hoping that, The Q5 version stopped manufacturing almost a year ago (late 2010) and it is impossible that they still have stock of the old Q5´s. Probably, as you said, they are selling the R5 version but the description still says Q5

PD: I have the Q5 version and the pwm is impossible to see, I am one of the lucky owners of the lastest batches of the A3 upgraded in natural gray with 1000Hz PWM and old mode order (M L H )

SS is still $30 :frowning:
Cheapest place is still going gear, battery junction…
Most dont even sell the ss.

Can confirm that..

Ordered a ITP A3 (red) for my wife half June, as a Q5, but received within 2 weeks a R5 XPG..
Cant tell if thats with all the stock...

But Im pretty happy about that.. (I actually wanted the Q5 because of the MLH)

I also used their coupon code, and finally paid 19 dollars, (including their free shipping)

Thanks ChibiM.... (what is the coupon??)

12

Hi Farn82: I just googled on: "Lightake dicount coupon", and found a few.. (like I tend to do with most internet shops!)

I got that 7% discount with: DOGFACE as the coupon code..

I just googled again, and found a few more: "snapshot" , "cheapcoupon" and "couponshare"...with 7% discount

Thanks ChibiM!!!

14

I have my q5 and the light is terrible . unusable

15

I asked on the site lightake which version of the ITP EOS A3 they sell.
Responded that the version on Q5.

16

I think that the person who answered simply read the description and he/she read "Q5" and gave to you that answer. Is impossible that still remains stock of Q5

hkequipment.net now sells both versions on Q5 and R5.
