Ok, what do you want for Nov group buy from Dinodirect (updated 1st GB for 2012!!)

@RedForest UK

could be 1.8A plus, which would be unhealthy for the LED at best. I would just measure current with a 14500 fresh off the charger as soon as you get it just to be sure, if it’s below 1.6A then you should be fine.

good idea. i dont have a DMM yet (although they cost only 3$ on ebay, made in Chi*a) but i will ask my neighbors to help out with the amperage measurement. Those 3$ digital multimeters dont really handle very well amperages over 200mA, although they are "designed for" up to 10A.

regarding the sister .. check your pm! ;)

P1A would be nice for EDC but I would really like lower low...seriously something like 3lumens, then the 30, then the 90 or whatever.

Fenix LD10 has great modes, 3-13-45-100.

@esrevenge

Fenix LD10

Fenix is a world-class company, China's #1 brand in mass manufacturing high quality flashlights; their very first public flashlight model was released in 2005, the Fenix L1P. If both the Fenix LD10 R5 and the Klarus P1A cost equally 15$, then i would be hard-pressed to take a well-reasoned decision and choose one over the other. I would have to compare side by side, beam pattern, actual throw, tint, tint, tint, etc.

However, in RL since the LD10 (55$@HKE) and the P1A (7$@DD) are priced world's apart -- this is an easy one. For sure, the P1A has a much better price-performance ratio.

( and for the very perfect EDC i still prefer the Quark X 1x 14500 over any other contenders )

I will tell you all if there are some new coupons.

Try:

save10sp

At the time of writing this post, the code works.

[Oxy_Moron]

Looks like the code the other forum got for 6% off no longer works though. :(

Hi friend, I am sorry, this product is out of stock, happy new year.

I have contacted you about this olight i ordered 15 days ago, still order seems to be pending, did you ship finally?Did you ever have this in stock?

[kreisler]

@ergotelis

Did you ever have this in stock?

is that an offense? :D

ordering stuff with DD ... hilarious!!! (thanks God that i'm in with some 75 bucks only *ggg*)

lol, just wanted to know how do they work, they might have some things on their site but it might never come in stock! 75$ only? I am waiting more than 300$ orders from them!!!

[esrevenge]

Yikes, did you really order 300USD from DD?

I like to stick up for DD since I have not had any problems (yet) but I wouldn't order $300 in one shot with those guys, just too risky.

@Summer

The first two products I will share it in Jan 4th. Hope everyone a happy new year!

Are you going to post the new lower price? Anyway I think that the GroupBuy price should be lower than regular price with a coupon, otherwise its not a GroupBuy just 5 pages of advertising for your company with the same price as always.

@kreisler

The topic of poorly matching cells (differently topped off Eneloops, Lithium primaries, Li-Ions, Akalines, ..) of a singular chemistry and brand has been documented in articles (yawn) and in videos too:

Howly s%&t :O After that vid, another related vid pops up. Man, slightly squeezed cell started to exhale toxic stuff and then caught fire :O I really don't care if CR123 lights are used by special forces or whatever, I don't plan to use them (aside from being quite expensive)

@RedForest UK

I would just measure current with a 14500 fresh off the charger as soon as you get it just to be sure, if it's below 1.6A then you should be fine. I certainly wouldn't try IMR 14500s in it though as they have very low internal resistance and would possibly damage the LED even in short bursts.

Thats exactly what should we (those who bought P1A :bigsmile: ) do (if someone finally will receive one :bigsmile: )

@esrevenge

P1A would be nice for EDC but I would really like lower low...seriously something like 3lumens, then the 30, then the 90 or whatever.

Quite big for EDC (ITP A2/Olight I2, Nitecore EZAA or Fenix E15 or AAA sized lights are better for EDC, IMO)

@kreisler

However, in RL since the LD10 (55$@HKE) and the P1A (7$@DD) are priced world's apart -- this is an easy one. For sure, the P1A has a much better price-performance ratio.

Man, I think p-p ratio is excellent even at original price ($30, or $25 with coupon. Not everyone has those giftcards :bigsmile: )

Hi everyone, I am back for work now. Happy new year to you all. Sorry for the late reply. I have contacted with our suppliers but these products is lack of stock, I am very sorry about that. I find another good flashlights, this is ready for group buy, the product is UltraFire™ C8 CREE Q5 LED 5Mode Flashlight with Battery & Charger, the link is http://www.dinodirect.com/ultrafire-c8-flashlight-led-5mode-battery-charger.html, the price is $33.69, and the group buy price is $22.57, 33%OFF, and the coupon code is BLFUF, anyone who have interests please hurry to get it.

[esrevenge]

Hi Summer, welcome back. That's a nice light at a good price.

Sorry I cant get it, I only like AA lights, and I ordered a P1A recently too.

[SashiX]

Happy New Year to you too, Summer.

Can you confirm your stock of Klarus P1A? I've placed the order (93723519-DD) and paid 5 days ago, and you (DD) not even approved it :| My last one (I made a few months ago) was approved in just 8 minutes.

[Chicago_X]

Summer, do you sell the Ultrafire T6 with the square heatsink ?

I would love a discount on that light, and I think you would get a good take rate.
