Zanflare F1 for $20 on Gearbest flash sale.

I’ve found the F1 to be a great gift for friends that aren’t set up to charge 18650’s. I’m out of spare F1’s , so I’m thinking of snagging one at this price. Think we’ll ever see them cheaper than this again?

The discount seems to be for the warm version. I’d snag the cold at this price. I think the lowest has been 18$?

$10

That was amazing.

I hope we get to see sub $20 F1 prices again. Maybe single’s day (11/11); that’s when F1 price hit rock bottom.

For Canadian customers : it is $19.99 CAD ($15 USD) on Amazon, prime eligible. And that’s not even a sale.

I don’t know how they can sell it for less than Gearbest.

Discontinued? No F1 listed at all under Zanflare, nothing by search.

The $20.00 flash sale started at midnight Pacific time and only 17 pieces of 500 have sold. Apparently most people aren’t as enthused about the sale as I am/was. I think I’ll hold off for awhile.

It is often available somewhere for 20, I bought one for 10, gifted it, and bought another for about 12, which hasn’t arrived. I won’t try again until 15 or less.

Wow! Zulumoose snagged one for $10!?
Unless I’m missing something this looks like a perfect utility/work/muggle light.
The charging port cover is in a different league than the flimsy rubber press fit covers. Nothing on Amazon now, looks like the best deals are gone.

Yeah, I got about 4-5 at this point, including one at 10bux and one at 12bux or so. Limit-1, of course.

As I mentioned when I got my first one, it’s one of the best-designed lights I’ve come across in a long time. Great UI, great charging scheme, great for muggles… what’s not to like?

Wellp, my biggest gripe was/is the hideously green tint in the WW version, and still greenish in the CW version.

I imagine abrading off the AR-coating might degreen it, but…

But yeah, 20bux is the best price I’ve seen in ages. GB doesn’t seem to be hitting those good deals anymore like they used to. Forget about getting one for <20bux.

I got one for ~$10 back late last fall. I don’t really use it much these days, but I agree, it is a nice light, particularly for muggles, getting one for $20 is still a good purchase.

I was too caught up in other stuff to notice this light when it was available for cheap.
Didn’t notice that it was rechargeable and I thought the port cover was just some weird knurling.
I know that there are purists who don’t like onboard charging but I think it’s the best thing going if done right. And by “done right” I mean charges correctly and has proper port cover like this one. Boruit 5000LM also nailed it.
Hopefully the idea of a shrouded port like this will take off.

Scrolling back on the forum to 06/07/2018, I see that toddcshoe got an F1 on an Amazon lightning deal for $15.95. I’m never in the right place at the right time to get those deals.

Thanks for the heads up on the Amazon Canada deal! Picked one up, cant beat $20 can and free ship

Between the 2 tints Gearbest has 763 pcs but the sale ends tonight.

Can we have a group buy on this one?

Could probably burn through their stock if they get it to $15 or less.

edit: thought it was discontinued, it’s not. Just not available on amazon. Still on their website but the “buy on amazon” link is dead.

Wotdahell? I’m really hating the redesign of the “new” GB website. I figured I could pick up another one for 20bux, burn off a little over a buk in “points”, if only to cover tracked postage, but Hell if I know how to do it. As quirky as the old website was, it didn’t suck nearly as bad as this new one.

Zero option to use any points. In step 2, it even lists in the rundown, “points: 0.00” in blood-red. Huh? The option never even came up? Points would barely cover postage, so it’s not like I wanted to cut the price that much more.

And step 3 is apparently “place order”, but no option whether to use the card on file, paypal, nothing. And I’m not about to place an order “by accident” than have to scramble to tell CS to cancel it because it’s “wrong”.

Good Lord… anyone else have this kinda grief?

Wellp, at this rate, I ain’t buying any more on GB or Amazon… :confounded:

Coupons, flash-sales, etc., just went from yay to nay a while back, no more 7buk S2+es (even crappy 1B tints), or 10-15buk F1s, etc., so I haven’t ordered from GB in a long time. Hell, I used to have 2-3 orders from GB in the air at any given time.

But the way things are going, it doesn’t look like I’ll be resuming my consuming from GB any time soon. Kind of a shame…

…and not just limited to 1-per.

I don’t remember how I was able to use my points but I did. Somewhere on the left side of the screen was a place to click to use them. It was in the step with the discount code or gift something-something. It was on a sale item too.
