Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I will try changing the sipping speed on my drink. :stuck_out_tongue:

Up late watching riots I mean protests while browsing lights. Noticed Wowtac W1 is $19.99 and ZeroAir 15% coupon works too. Check out that review for code.

This is a nice solid little light. I am gonna get a second one.

Move over Imalant MS18…I just saw two flashlights on ebay, 1 is 990,000 lumens, and another that is 58 million lumens on wish. It’s on ebay and wish, so it has to be true. The 58 million lumen one is only 16 dollars and is charged by usb. That’s right Kmart shoppers, 58 million lumens in a light charged by that 5 volt usb connection.

WOW! You got a link?
.
Just kidding :wink:

What they don’t tell ya is that the 990,000lm is when the included CrapFire cell goes supernova.

I wonder how many lumens a house fire is
?

That van in Phila. last night around 10:30 pm looked like about 650,000 but all flood.
Good run time too, nice warm tint with blend.

We all own part if it, cause we sure as heck will be paying for it.

I dont own this light but I have owned a few wowtac’s and they’re decent. I just saw the deal while surfing. Might interest some and it might not but seems from the description to be a nice 18650 light for the money, comes out to be about $24 bucks with the 20% off coupon for a wowtac A6 using a sst40 cool white.

I’m on a penlight kick, ordered the A7P for work, pretty nice! 2 levels only, tint isn’t bad enough to swap emitter. No memory. Bought it for $11, went on sale for $7.99 the next day!

Saw that the A3N went on sale for $12.99 so I grabbed one for home use, can’t comment on it yet as it won’t be here until tomorrow or so.

The A7P head threads are a little on the loose side but it doesn’t require wrenching it on to work. Button is stiff enough to resist accidental activation. TIR lens is kinda throwy, may sand it down for more spill. Doesn’t have a moonlight which is fine for work. The low level is bright enough to cover most lighting needs in an already well-lit environment, high mode is plenty bright but will burn through batteries. Eneloop work fine in this.

I like the A3 with Nichia. It’s cheaper and slightly smaller than a few others, it resets to low (about 3-5 lumens) after a few seconds and there’s no PWM in any modes. Mine is labeled as A3 but it has Nichia 219c.

Speaking of penlights. Wurkkos WK01 is $12.99 The description is way off. One of the reviews say Moonlight-High-Low with memory that resets. Looks like Sofirn SF02. Easy to do led swap.

Thanks for that info! With this tint and UI it will get plenty of use.
I’m not militant about PWM but some lights really miss the mark by having too low frequency. The fact that I won’t have to mod it is money in the bank.
Looks like you’ve already been down the penlight path pretty far, I’m a ways back still but working on it.
This crazy hobby! As my life changes so do my lighting needs so it seems like there’s always something new to try. I don’t need nearly as much light at my new job but still need some light. These are small and light and don’t weigh me down. Eneloops make it an affordable solution.

Folomov EDC C2 with Nichia E21A is on sale at $22.75, plus an additional 20% off coupon is available, bringing the total including whatever tax down to under $20.

The C2 is a neat flashlight if you can look past their choice of non standard battery. 14300 (250mAh) unique proprietary VS. 14500 (up to 1200mAh) standard commonly available . I’ll have to pass.

For $5, why not? VOKKA 1000-Lumen Small Flashlight, CREE/OSRAM Dual-LEDs, 5 Modes, IP65 Water-Resistant, Rechargeable Handheld Flashlight with Tactical Silent Button, for Dog-Walking, Camping, Hiking, Emergencies https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PPB3NRH/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_ZhT5EbMDTNRGN

Anyone wanna take one for the team? :laughing:

I’m in for one .

I'll pass because it has disco modes that I think one cannot easily avoid.

It might be good for modders, though.

Wellp, my thinking is that the driver (with onboard charging) is pretty much married to the host, plus it looks like it’s even a driver-in-tailcap design, ie, no mention of having to have the light turned on to charge, in either the description or reviews. And if some putz is returning the light because it doesn’t come with a Crapfire cell even though it says that pretty clearly in the description, you know someone’d be returning it for “not charging”.

And no mention how to switch between flood and throw?

Dunno, sounds like Hell to mod, and worse to keep as-is.

Intriguing idea, though.

I've had too many $5 shots of Vokka already .
