Tacklife LFL3A $8.99

Awesome! Please let us know more about the battery. I know that’s a concern for some. Glad you grabbed one. Enjoy the deal/price.

A review in German I believe.

Nice find!

(another youtube review)

Apparently this was once over $46.00 back in 2018.

in the English Youtube it looks as if the pill is brass colored maybe?

Ordered it for the hell of it.

Thanks to the OP for the heads up!

You’re welcome! I gave my first two away. I finally ordered myself one today. This one I’m keeping.

What is “the pill”? Battery? I know it has a brass colored ring near the lens. It looks nice.
Built like a tank.

Great light and for that price a real steal!

Enjoy the light:

The pill is what holds the driver and the LED board, in this case it screws out from the top under the reflector.
You can see 2 small dimples at the rim of the pill, these are for using clip pliers/needle nose with sharp tips or tweezers if they are large enough.
Most of them will un screw counter-clockwise but some are clockwise threads.
Once removed then you can tackle removing the driver if needed. Also easier to unsolder LED board for replacement or to just reflow the emitter itself.

If it is what we call a brass pill, It’s not really brass but is a heavier blend of metal than the ordinary aluminum.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
The build is really solid in this thing.

Yes it’s a good thing, cost more to make them that way and they will generally take more heat.
Brass pill by itself will usually cost 4-6 dollars by itself.

I just ordered one. Seems like an awesome price because you get a 5000 mAh 26650 battery, a charging cord, a nice packaging box to store it in or to give as a gift. PLUS! it will be delivered in two days.

If it turns out to be all that, and a bag of chips, I will buy a couple more.

I’m buying with intention of emitter swapping. I have a 18650 adapter from My ft03 I’m going to see if it fits

Thank you man…i just ordered one.

Do share more details, I too have a dead ft03 led and parts that I can use.

I am pretty sure this is limited stock dumping. Price is too low, seller is probably just clearing inventory. I’ve seen lights that are too good for the price but disappear shortly. I’ve bought another just now :slight_smile:

Got mine an hour ago, let it come to room temp as it is cold today.
Anyway battery is dead, shows .3 volts and none of my chargers will attempt to start it nor will the internal charging on the LFL3A.
Being that it shows some voltage this means there is no protection that may have tripped?

Flashlight is dang nice and has a perfectly centered corona, as others have said nice build quality.
Hope they don’t make me send the whole thing back but whatever.
Was as curious of the quality of the battery as the flashlight.

And so it goes.
Later,
Keith

Bought two. I’ll probably swap an SST-20 in at least one when i receive them. Here’s the pricing history.

Thanks

What are the modes and UI design like?

Man, I’m a sucker for a flashlight deal. Here comes another one.
