Non-engraved, with gift box:

@ _the_:

Which price will it have inside the GB?

Outside the groupbuy the SF-348 is sold currently for $4.49!
http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_131992.html

$6.99 without gift box, $7.99 with.

Let me calculate this for you:
Basic SF-348 price (on sale): $4.49

  • a magnificent Nichia emitter: $3.98
  • modding work to swap the emitter: “nothing, I do it myself”
  • BLF engraving: “priceless!”
    = $8.47 (without gift box, with ugly SF engraving)

=> GB savings $1.48 (yippee!) :slight_smile:

Edit: Here’s what the light does with ~10x more expensive emitter:

10pcs non engraved.

8 of them gift boxed.

Hi,
2 plain w/o box
Thx

8 pieces non-engraved no gift box

Wow, 331 lights on the list already !!

I’m in for 4…

2x Engraved w/box
2x Plain no box

I’ll tell you why I an buying 20 more of these ( I already purchased 20 before this ) , Out of all of the lights I’ve shown people over the past few years , these simple , yet elegant lights are instantly popular .
For non-flashaholics , one mode and the use of a common battery are easy .

I EDC one of these at work .
My intention is to give some of them away as gifts . The rest I purchased for people I gave lights to that want to get some to give away to their friends .

I EDC one since they came out and have a spare for backup. They are a great little user friendly light for sure. I blue loc-tighted the bezels as they can back out over time and and 6 tiny pieces will disappear. I was lucky.

Oh… JTC, please put me on your Gift List ! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll take 5, engraved and no gift boxes.

Darn it- here I go again :stuck_out_tongue: Time to start going back to the meetings again.
“Hi, I’m Phil and I’m a flashaholic. Thank you for having me at Flashaholics Unanimous and I’m trying to do better- honest!”

+ _the_'s commitment of 100!

I’m in for 10, non-engraved, with gift box.

What is the timing looking like? I figure it’s too late to have these in time for Christmas gifts this year. :frowning:

Hope this isn’t a dumb-ass question, but what’re the spex for this light with the 219anything? Lumens, runtime, etc.? Reflector or TIR? 10440able?

I imagine this is rather different from the SF-348, but I’m not sure how much. Don’t recall seeing any spex for this bugger.

Same reason most stores sell Bud and Coors instead of Dinkel-Acker, Warsteiner, and Killian’s.

Got lumen-hounds (and those who sell lights to ’em) for the CW low-CRI chips, and incandescent-wannabe bulbs for the 2700K chips.

~50lm on AAA (suitable for general use), 150+lm on 10440 (initial >200lm - to be used only as short bursts, gets hot very quickly!)
>1h on AAA, ~20min on 10440
Reflector
10440able

4 non-engraved without gift box

They could do with a blob of thermal goo between pill and body tube.
Heat transfer is not a strong feature of the 348…
