Good choicesâŚ
Good torch - good price - My first one was a Convoy C8 - I think they are almost the same.
You will be amazed at the light it can throw out.
I have a LiittoKala charger as well.
Keep Banggood in mind for future battery purchases, especially if you buy a pack of 4, they will be cheaper.
Good thread. My latent torchaholic tendencies have recently resurfaced so good to have local sources.
In my possession:
1st ThorFire C8s from Amazon (very nice) like Kevin with 2 BLAZAR NCR 18650 B 3400mAh + Soshine AU SCS2 from supersport600.
2nd UltraFire LT-HJ Cree XML T6 from GearBest (average) which came with dodgy battery and charger
In transit:
3rd 4 x Astrolux A01 from Bang good to share with the family. (Need to get buy in from mrs to keep spending )
4th 2 at once, ThorFire TG06S and VG15S from Amazon - which required some more batteries from supersport600, 2x KEEPPOWER Protected Sanyo UR14500P 840mAh & 4 x IMALENT 3000mAh IMR Protected 18650
5th BLF Q8 from Amazon with 4PCS Samsung INR18650-30Q from Bang good. Hopefully the batteries will make it, hard shipping batteries international these days.
Three of those Imalent are going to be presents to a mate, mother in law and brother in law along with 3 x Convoy C8 Cree XML2 U2 - 1B and 3 x Nitecore UM10 Intellicharger from GearBest. Again to get buy in from nearest and dearest.
Thatâs over $500 in a very short period of time and still no individual torch over $100.
Saw the eneloop above and got some AAA to go in A01âs.
Not sure if a bargain as unfamiliar with amazon deals so not sure if prize will come down ThorFire PF04 Pen Light Prime Early Access Deal PF04 Early Access
Spewin âcause I ordered one last week, delivered yesterday. Nice little light. Was doin BBQ rump and pork fillet for dinner last night and the outside light was broken so reversed the pocket clip (swap ends with light and tail cap) and stuck it to my cap visor. Medium was good for cooking, Turbo light up a decent portion of the back yard.
Fortuitously, ordered TG06S at the same time. 14500 battery on order so only on AA and not working to full potential but stuck that on Jrâs cap and we had plenty of light for cooking
Yup and more to come. Just took delivery of 6kg chunk a rump from a mateâs brother who works in an abattoir, $8/kg.
ThorFire and Amazon are really playing with my mind. Now they are showing TG06S as lightening deal for tomorrow so within two days theyâve offered discounts on both torches I ordered last week and took delivery of yesterday!
Whereâs the cheapest place to get Eneloops now that EBay Plus has made all the shipping costs crazy high?
Bought 8 AAAâs the other day for $24 off eBay from an OzB deal, said $20 shipping, but there was a click and collect option that said -$20 so I bought themâŚseems you only get that $20 off if youâre an eBay Plus member. Seller was nice enough to refund me.
This is not an Aussie bargain, but just to let you know that this is a good deal equivalent to some of the lights you have mentioned.
Itâs an older Convoy C2+ and I think this offer is ending very soon.
I ordered 2 of these for under AU$14 each and they arrived today. Very nice bright little lights and great quality. I donât think youâll get much better for your money.
I had the same problem, ended up getting impatient and ordering from another vendor, 8xAAA eneloop $28 delivered. Ordered Saturday, sâposed to arrive tomorrow.
We were posting about batteries in the D4S thread. I havenât found 26650âs but purchased a couple of Panasonic Protected NCR 18650 B 3.7V 3400mAh Button Top from an ebay seller 9th August $23 for 2 shipped and theyâve tested ok.
The kids have been using them without issue so far in a couple of S2+ 7135x6 bedside lights.
This vendor has some LG HG2 as well for $9ea shipped, less for 2 or 4.
Vendor has various VTCx cells and a few others for sale as well. I donât need any high discharge atm with 8x30Q in transit from BG flash sale so was hoping a fellow aussie would pick up a couple of HG2âs for testing
