Australia Based Deals / Info / Links / Discussion

Hi Kevin,

Good choices…
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.

4 x Eneloop Pro AA
Made in Japan
$17.99 delivered

Doh I need AAA’s! So many ebay plus deals at the moment with $20 shipping :frowning:

$20.99 for 8 x AAA

Cheers, didn’t see that deal

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 :slight_smile: )
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.

That’s 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 A01’s.

Hi and welcome Sillen. If you see any bargains on Amazon Australia please post them up. :beer:

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

aud$19.48 so not really a bargain, same at banggood

Two different price points:

FandyFireFire MAX03 Super Bright Tactical flashlight $40

Olight X9R Marauder $780

The Max03 looks familiar. Is that a generic build copied by many like C8?

Amazon Lightning Deal ThorFire VG15S ends 1600 AUS EDT 20% off $21.44

Spewin ’cause 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 Jr’s cap and we had plenty of light for cooking :slight_smile:

My ThorFire stable :

C8s
VG15S
TH06S

Q8 on order and in transit via Amazon AU

S70S on the wish list

So thats what I could smell last night. :slight_smile:

Yup and more to come. Just took delivery of 6kg chunk a rump from a mate’s 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 they’ve offered discounts on both torches I ordered last week and took delivery of yesterday!

Where’s the cheapest place to get Eneloops now that EBay Plus has made all the shipping costs crazy high?

Bought 8 AAA’s 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 them…seems you only get that $20 off if you’re an eBay Plus member. Seller was nice enough to refund me.

Hi Guys,

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.
It’s 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 don’t think you’ll 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, s’posed to arrive tomorrow.

Thanks mate

We were posting about batteries in the D4S thread. I haven’t found 26650’s 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 they’ve 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 don’t 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 HG2’s for testing :slight_smile:

Ladda AA battery from IKEA is the sample capacity and LSD but much cheaper price. I bought a buch of them and love them heaps.

why bother risking ebay fake stuff :smiling_imp:

I’m a big fan of the Coles LSD Ni-MH AA and AAA - four for $7.

The AAs are only 2200 mAh but I can pick up a pack whenever I need them rather than spending half a weekend day on a trip to Ikea.
