After talking it over with sb56637, I noticed we didn't have a review posted for Sbflashlights, so based on my experience, I give them a recommend rating. Please feel free to chime in and let me know if I missed anything.

I purchased a Spark headlamp from sbf and it was shipped quickly. Shipping cost was very reasonable. I would recommend them.

sbflashlights carries high quality stuff, ships fast, and has competitive prices and reliable service. I just ordered a charger and got it fast and in perfect shape. Every order I've done there has been an enjoyable transaction.

Most of my SF lights and dropins are from Jason......nice guy and customer service is superb.

youtube videos by him

+1 for sbflashlights - ordered a few lights in the past and all came on time and packaged appropriately.

I started this thread and have been surprised there hasn't been more feedback. For ConUS buyers, they seem like an ideal outfit. Glad to see some more positive responses. I have been very happy with my experiences with them.

Jason is going to be carrying an Nlight soon that has modes we like, he is working on the UI now so hopefully it will be on the site soon.

I did a cpf thread on this back in the day. Sbflashlightguy is not the same guy that runs sbflashlight.com

Not sure about that dude but Jason (sbflashlights.com) is known here (and other forums) as Jake25

Purchased a spark headlamp and wp2 charger from Jason. I missed the thanksgiving deal he had going but he worked with me and gave me the same discount. fast email replies.

OIC good to know thanks!

didnt know it before :)

Just got a couple of Solarforce dropins. Ordered Feb 29th, in mailbox by the 2nd. Sure is refreshing after using the "Air Mail" from Hong Kong. They must be using zeppelins for air mail from China.

Welcome to BLF, roadrunner!

I ordered a Thrunite T30 from this sale https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/8821 on May 24th, and it was delivered May 26th...what an incredible light and incredible service. This thing has the lowest low I've ever seen, you can stare at the emitter. This is an amazing light for the price of some okay P60 hosts (about $36 shipped US) - get one if you're even thinking about it. Thanks for the great offer!

ordered a Crelant V9CS off sb on Sept 26…got to me in Canada by the 5th…super fast shipping and email response time…was willing to help with a specific request…would shop with sb again in a heartbeat! thanks!

Regarding the cons, I doubt there should even be any. SBFlashlights is quickly growing and is bringing in many new models. The price may be slightly higher then some other major retailers but there is a HUGE difference. You get fast shipping with superior client service. Specs are better than other major retailers I’ve seen lately.

SBFlashlights has my vote as one of the top 3 in overall.

Just ordered the 7G2CS and 7G5CS with collimator head from SB. Order placed around 3:30PM ET and shipped the same day.

Great service. Had it to my door in 2.5 days. Items were well packed and arrived just as expected. I had a question and PM’d Jake25 and he responded in an hour.

Will definitely shop here again. A+

highly recommended :slight_smile:
