I've 8 hours to go. Hope you have a very good New Year one and all.
Oops - who can't count?
9 hours and 48 minutes to go.
I was expecting a heavy random post (such as this) to pile up the thread reply count but it is still looking pretty civilized. Might have to do that the end of this year is near and for once many could not care much to type on a forum. I'm waiting my oven to beeps my long awaited meal. Untill then i'll be lurking around here since i already did all i had to do for today and im just relaxing and warming with my fluffy cat who does enjoy being in the centre of attention atm.
What a spam post! :D
Who is going to enter the new year in the next few hours? I'm still 9h away. And a bottle of good sparkling wine is looking at me with desire to be popped.
Happy new year! How does it look like? XD
Thanks for offering this to us! And happy new year!
Best wishes from Brazil!
hey miaw2, could you send some sunshine? I haven't seen the mother of all lights for a weak now! Damn clouds and rain!
This is a great holiday jesture LT-----------
Happy New Year to all--------
I like to be a new customer for you in the new year!!
And that's in Portugal. You'd usually get much nicer weather than we do - we here probably have about 500 phrases for rain, most of them obscene.
The weather here is similar, just a bit colder. At least the rain washed away all the annoying snow. I was at work before the sun rose and it had set by the time I went home. In between, the big flashlight wasn't very visible. But one writer did say about my hometown, "The rainy season ends on the 31st December and starts on the 1st January."
Wow, Daniel, great campaign. Thank you for that!
I am not very often online but every time I come to this place there is a lot of new interesting and funny stuff which I don't even try to catch up with, BLF is really a great place!
About Lightake: I agree with others that a more extended Flashlight-DIY section would make Lightake more interesting. Even more important do I rate accuracy and reliability of given specs (be it flashlights, drivers, LEDs, etc). I definitely prefer to shop at a place where I can trust the information the seller is publishing even if it meant a slightly higher price compared to others due to the extra work that involves.
Happy new year everyone! :party:
Happy birthday BLF! and Happy new years to everyone!
I purchased a few lights from lightake and I must say, I was very impressed with shipping time and packaging. I also appreciate the selection of P60 hosts that they carry, and the prices that they are offered at!
I quite appreciate that Lightake carries a number different name brands that don't really appear much on other Chinese sites (Mr Lite, Fenix, Olight, etc.), but I would like to see a little bit more in terms of programmable lights.
this seems to have turned into one, so, even though i have 12 hrs 56 mins left, a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011 to all of you!
The price could go down Manafont had a 50% price reduction. Something like that would be good.
More beam shots.
Images of the flashlight in detail.
This is a good idea for LT, the forum itself and for us.. thank you!
I think you should sell DIY parts, and for example, Maglite DIY parts, like dropins, drivers, 26500 and 32600 batteries and so. There is almost nothing of that in chinese markets with International free shipping and low prices..
If you do this, LT will be the most flashaholic site, and you will get more and more customers from all around the world.
If it is possible, include more images of the items with more detail and, images of dismantled flashlights.
^ I agree! get some DIY parts for mag lights. more DIY parts are necessary for great business with this website!
LT has some good flashlights, but not enough parts for me. Prices seem good too, and feedback is good (i honestly have not bought nething yet, due to the fact im low on money)
Also, more D sized led lights!
and maybe some good LED floodlights!
btw a few hours and it will be 2011 on the east coast of america!
hopefully i can celebrate with a new flashlight??? lol
I think people will be less likely to buy expensive light like Fenix from you because they can but the same lights from american sites for similar prices. The American sites have better customer service.
As an example Feni TK50 on your site is $85.95,. the 4Sevens site is $85.
Your USP on these lights has to be Price!!!
I ordered a pair of Romisen RC-29s and they arrived recently. My only complaint is the requirement for a signature at delivery. I realize that delivery confirmation is necessary, but this means I have to make an unpleasant, time-consuming trip to the post office to pick up the item. I wasn't in any hurry, and I expected a pretty long wait. No problem there.
I order electronic goodies from HK fairly often, and they never require a signature.
I'm not sure if there's an easy solution for this on your end, but it can be a significant factor here.
Happy new year, all!
Sorry ! Bit tired !
XM-L and more XM-L ... More XR-E R2 ...
If you want to sell lights , sell XM-L equipped lights ..
I dont know who makes the Ultrafire A20 ? [ HERE ] but a lot of people sell it , I moded mine to XM-L , and just love it now ...
So I would suggest a XM-L A20 for 2011 ...
[ I say I dont know who makes it as Ultrafire say they dont make it ]
Yes, XM-L are all the rage now and are expected to completely replace P7,MCE. Also shenzen-wholesale carry many unique flashlight designs so why not try to find some new hosts to play. It seems many offer minimally changed flashlights that look the same. There are a zillion of L2, 501B, C1, C2,C8, tr1200 knockoffs that makes about 60% off all budget lights in the market. Try to get something new more "unique"...
Let say:
These are hardly to be found anywhere at most popular retailers. I believe that at least a few of those would be bought as soon they get to a seller that does freeshipping at a reasonable price.
There is a severe lack of diffrenet goods around.
