I ordered 4 with the code to get free shipping since I am not an Amazon Prime member (and all were discounted).One for the wife and three for gifts to some soon to be very excited grand-nieces.
Thank you forum member "bansuri" for posting the deal. This is a great forum thanks to contributions from members like yourself.
Got my 2 delivered and installed, not industrial grade but good enough for “hang it up and leave it there”. No crazy colors but the kids love ’em.
Evidence of kids raised by a flashoholic: after explaining how the buttons work and they don’t need another app cluttering up their phones my daughter said , “yeah, it’s a pretty simple UI!”
The light itself was a nice proposition. Thanks! Until the moment the shipping costs kicked in.
Slow shipping was almost €80, slow slow shipping was almost €40. Sigh!.
Seems that in these new times of trade wars and outbreaks flash sales (from a trusted seller!!!) or swapping lights with other members is going to be the only thing to keep the B in BLF.
I love the clip. The EDC18 is my daily usage EDC light. I got the triple XPL HI 5000K and measured 3800 at turn on, 3500 at 15 secs on a good 25S, with spring bypasses and improvements on the MCPCB backside with MX4 thermal paste, plus better 22 AWG wires,same size as stock but higher strand count. Also I wired the switch LED into pin #7 so it's controlled by Anduril now, and updated Anduril to my latest.
With this amazon deal, it says XPL HI but no idea on tint, so it's probably CW. With that said, I had to order another one... :FACEPALM:
Triple Emitters with Optical Lens
3*Cree XPL-HI LED Cold White
Detectible stainless steel bezel enable the light to install the glow gadget
Triple TIR optical lens provides a smooth and wide beam
Thanks Muto for posting this EDC18 deal.Amazon estimates delivery will take one month.
Hopefully there will be an easy way to remove the light's tail magnet and replace it with a spacer so I can carry it clipped in the front pocket of my pants along with a minimalist wallet without having to worry about erasing the magnetic strips on credit and debit cards. My other front pocket is reserved just for my cell phone which I carefully guard against damage (my back pockets are empty for sitting comfort).
Not knowing anything about Vipon, I was apprehensive about signing up but will see how it goes.
Vipon works good and if you have another email available you can sign up again for another account. A lot of Amazon specials will be one per order but again if you have another person with Amazon give them the second code and rock and roll.
As far as delivery time Amazon is giving themselves plenty of buffer, if it says in stock you will probably get it a lot quicker than they are quoting. They quote May 16 right now on EDC18 which is only 3 weeks.
Last 2 orders I got were like a week to 10 days but as always YMMV.
Did not get the EDC18 as already have the FW3 and do not see any gain but think this one is built better as the FW3 has known issues.
Good deal they have on the IYP365 with Nichia goodness as well but have 3 of those so unless they do the pink one for the wife in the future will hold off on that.
Later,
