Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

^
LOL. I came home to another package of bulbs. So now I have 8 bulbs. Checked Amazon, but I only was billed for the 4 ordered. 6 of the boxes are marked 80CRI like the one I tore down above, 1 is not marked, and 1 is marked 90CRI. All are marked “Pure White”, except the 90CRI light. That light, has a pretty nice tint. Anyone know anything about the emitters in these (see Post 64 above)?

darn, I should have bought more than one!!! :stuck_out_tongue: The light output without the diffuser is, i’m guessing 800 ish lumens. It’s approximately the same brightness as a Convoy C8 shone on the ceiling. My intention with the one I ordered is to put a true, warm white, bridglux or Cree 1512 LED in place of the NW stock LED. Another option is to buy some warm white LG LEDs from fasttech and somehow squeeze 4 or 5 of those (seriesf) onto the bulb. lol. I’m just thinking now.

Thorfire TG-10 on Amazon for $12 off with code EJ23SMAD.

Thorfire TG-10

I haven’t bought this particular boost driver as yet but, the 6009xl drives an 1512 LED ok with a 2S pack and good with a 3S LiIon pack (added heatsink hardly warms up driving the LED at 1A,) . The little driver below should easily fit in the body of this bulb :smiley: http://www.banggood.com/2A-DC-DC-Boost-Step-Up-Conversion-Module-MicroUSB-2-24V-To-5V-28V-12V-9V-24V-p-1019102.html

Amazon has Ganzo G735 assorted colors for $11.95 sold by ACE KNIFE. Free 2-day ship for Prime members.
This is a great deal on one of Ganzo’s more recent models.
The next closest price I could find was gearbest for $17.01
Mine just arrived yesterday (G735-YB Yellow & Black), and best of all, it arrived in 2 days!
I’m used to waiting for the slow boat from China, but this is stocked somewhere in the USA.

Flash deal, act quick.

RAVPower 26800mAh powerbank $35

https://www.amazon.com/Portable-RAVPower-Technology-Smartphones-More-Black/dp/B012NIQG5E

Actually $32.99 with code 26800RAV

bummer that it doesn’t come w/ cable to jump start a vehicle, doesn’t look like it has the
correct connector for one neither.

For a powerbank to start a vehicle the battery must be high drain LiPo in 4S, the ravpower one uses 18650s in 1S configuration.

Superway 10,400mAh lantern / powerbank combo

Got one last week and it is great, measured 32Wh output at 5V 2A which means the 10,400mAh rating is REAL. About 400 lumens output and extreme runtimes in medium and low. Well built although glued all around so no modding possible. CW tint 5,700K with nice spread, about the side of a meteor.

I have a quick review coming soon when the runtime tests are done but I’m going to give you my word for $22 this is a steal, you won’t regret it.

Wowser, that's some serious run time. Looking forward to your review. How do you get it for $22?

delete.

At the time of my post there was a flash deal going on and it was $22.40, right now the price has gone back up but you can find the exact same lantern under other brands for about $28, or pay $36 for this superway one and get a smaller 4,000mah version free.

Runtime was Over 20 hours on high and 70hours on medium, not fully flat but a steady drop to about 50% power then LVP kicks in. Review should be up this weekend.

Saw this on Amazon after noticing GB had a sale on the Solarstorm K2 for $16.
Had to grab it at $7.99, even if it is a few years old…

Astrolux S41 for $31.99 Prime.

I was looking for some short KP protected 26650 cells for a friend and came across this deal on protected KP NCR18650B.

Next best US price I could find was ~$41 for different brand protected NCRB’s with slower shipping.

$36 with 2-day prime seems pretty good.
