Whats up, folks!
As some of you might have seen its been a while since last DD group buy and there are some members who are eager to spend their $$$ but want to get decent deal too ;)
I sent Summer PM and she kindly replied that she could help us out on this matter and that in order to move things further she'd like to know in what kind of lights are we interested for a group buy?
Now, I will state my subjective opinion - personally I would love to get good AA light for decent price!
I know there are many 18650 lights out there you flashaholics are drooling over, but could we please make this one for AA lights :)?
I took a look at their offerings and so far Ive come to these, they are decently priced (between 30$ and 40$) lights, I have no idea whether we will pull this off and how big of rebate will be given if we manage this one, so lets be enthusiastic about it:
UF-H2, needless to say many folks here are excited about this light, especially those who dont own one but have seen it going for 17$ during last years group buy:
I have both on order because I believe that both offer good value for money and if we can get either of them with BLF discount ala UF-H2 2011 edition then its surely hard to miss with any of them :)!
If you think there are better contenders for best bang for the buck out there post your AA light here ;)!
Thanks for reading this and lets hope it turns into real group buy :)!

My personal vote goes to both
But if pushed Id go for UF-H2 since it would be probably cheaper than JetBeam BA20 and more versatile given its form factor AND cheaper to buy not one but two or three.
If you post something, please drop the link to DD product as well ;)
And be more specific and also, please try to understand that there are also people who dont use lithium batteries and thus miss out on many good deals, can we focus on AA lights :)?
Its not that it matter to DD, but for some members who are into AA lights its rare chance to get something at discounted price here :)
EDIT: I sent Summer PM regarding possibility of "combined" group buy where members have a chance to get 2 deals instead of one, lets hear back from her :)
Wow, R20A seems like a really decent light, 3 usable modes and rather cheap, thanks for pointing out!
Its good idea to have a light that hasnt been done before, but UF-H2 is rather popular light among those, who didnt get one last year, I mean it ranks high on wish list for some who keep asking for it on the cheap, me included, hence why I advocate it :)
Ok, Summer said that its fine if we choose more than one flashlight for group buy, but as you understand we need as many buyers as possible, so it doesnt matter if its going to be 1 or 3 flashlights as long as we can gather enough people to make this group buy attractive for DinoDirect ;)!
So, how many lights could we settle on, 2 or 3?
Id vote for UF-H2, Ill take 2 or 3 depending on price, if that doesnt attract too much interest Sunwayman R20A that Ian2381 posted seems like good alternative/compliment light or JetBeam BA20/Klarus P2A.
Of course if the others lights are interesting enough, I could sign up for them, but my first choice is still the UF H2. I know is not a novelty, but many of us lost the first group buy.
I have ordered 2 of these lights in the past 30 days and none of them shipped. I was told that they were out of stock after I received the rest of the items in the order (1 and 2 dollar items that I purchased just to get the dollar amount above a minimum for a coupon code) Might want to give them 60 days to stock up on what they have "in stock"
