Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

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.

Zanflare F1 at $15.99 right now. With the 20% coupon it ends up being $12.79.

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.

I think it’s not so much the emitter itself as the AR-coated glass which greens up the beam.

Ironically, had Zanflare used cheaper regular glass, ir would’ve been fine.

I got a bunch of ’em, and agree that CW isn’t as yellow-green as the NW. But most non-tint-snobs probably wouldn’t even notice.

Still, for the price it’s a damned good light. If you get it open, try it without the glass before refrying the emitter.

Picked up one of these USB power supply—It has an LCD screen showing voltage—amp draw and capacity — only $7
I’m very surprised the output exceeds it’s rating of 2.4 amp @ 5v—the LCD screen matches my UM25C tester for voltage and amp output but the capacity runs about 10% high

1 Thank

Cool. Thanks!

I have one of those and like it. I did not try to verify the performance in any way, but it seems like a good buy, depending on the price. I got one for ~$4.50 on ebay a few weeks back. Periodically they start there at 0.99, and typically sell for between $4 and $5. $7 without bidding is not bad.

HJK reviewed the charger here

Shipped from US or China?

Item location:CA, United States.

Looks like no one has made that offer again since I purchased mine though.

the link for today’s deals has disappeared from the home page, I don’t know why but it happens a few times a year…anyway if you want to find it, mouse over the “departments” link near the top, select “full store directory” link, then scroll down near the bottom and look for “bargains: todays deals”

Tool AA 2.0 for $14.99 again on Amazon. About two hours left.
