Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

weird, no tax in NJ unless its shipped and sold from amazon, I’m liking the light so far, gonna test it outside in a few hours, lots of accessories, good deal.

I’ve bought a bunch of these for friends who didn’t want to order from China. At that price from Amazon, it’s a steal. It’s a really nice light.

So is the tail switch just a on and off for lockout?

Yes, only does on/off (works for momentary use too). The electronic switch simply cycles modes.

Thanks for the info. I’m still on the fence about the F1.

Thorfire TG06S on lightning sale right now for another 3 hours or so. $12.79

No momentary on, it will 1/2 press momentary off though, not sure if they changed the tail switch…, but it has good output and decent tint for CW, and seems like a good mix of flood/throw(was very misty out so I can’t accurately assess throwing ability until I get a clear day,) it’s a little bigger in diameter then other lights in this class but overall a really good deal for under $15. It would be better if they had flared out the arms on pocket clip though, it comes unattached and seems like it might scratch light when trying to install.

The Lumintop IYP365 2xAAA pen light is in an Amazon.com Lightening Deal starting at 7:40 PM EDT, Sep 13. See performance details below:

  3. Micro-textured lens.
  4. Tempered glass lens with AR coating on both sides.
  5. Silicone diffuser included.
  6. Glow-in-dark O-ring behind the lens.
  7. The ability to tail stand.
  8. a stainless steel clip permanently attached.

was interested, but he deal is not huge, so I passed. More interested to know how you get info on all these deals before they happen.

On amazon home page, near the top is a link for “todays deals”

After you open that then apply filters on the left column, I use “home improvement, Sports and outdoors, Power and hand tools”, then apply the lightning deal filter below that section, then you can go through the pages and click watch deal under an item you are interested in, do this stuff on the website, on your phone you can enable notifications in amazon app and it will remind you when they start

Interesting, thanks for the info Blackbeard :+1:

In an Amazon.com Lightening Deal until around 1230 EDT, today (Sep 14, 2018):

This is the third time in a couple of weeks for the Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 to be in a Lightening Deal.

Got one with almost expiring Prime. Thanks.

Thanks. I got his one, pretty good light but pretty big… Later I found that the NW version is also available and its a buck cheaper as well, wish I saw that before.

Link for the $14.99 NW version - Amazon.com

Snagged the NW a couple days ago on Amazon for $14.99 and the 20% coupon. Ended up costing $12.90 here in WA after tax. I’ve bought probably 6 or 8 of the F1 lights and this is least I’ve paid so far. Good deal.

Thank you, grabbed one NW as well. Thanks again.

Imho it,s a very bad nw buy yourself an emitter now before the light arrives.

Grab it as a gift for a friend. He has all kinds of different emitters. I just knew he liked them and wouldn’t buy one himself so I figured I would further enable his addiction. :smiley:

Would you believe that I couldn't find any funny images with the words "tint snob" on them?

(Y'know, like, memes or demotivational posters.)

That makes me a sad raccoon.
