Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Just checked voltage it’s at EDIT: 4.06 this is as much as I can do.
The cell had 1 charger on it.
Seems ok, I guess.

I'd run away at 4.63V!

Edit…thanks :disguised_face:

Both NW and CW versions of the Wowtac A2S headlamp are $23.99 (compared to the normal 29.99 price), which was awesome to find since I’ve been eyeing this model for a while now.

Banggood has the Astrolux FT03 SST40-W for 33.99 US right now. If you don’t have one, you need one. Best thrower bang for the buck ever…. Sorry, I missed seeing the word Amazon when I posted this, but I am going to just let it stay because it is a good deal.

Thanks. I ended up ordering one even though not amazon.

I ordered 2 at that price, so when I finally receive them a month or 2 from now, it will be a good day. I am convinced they use very old runners on land, and swimmers in the water. That is the same for all shipments from China though. It is not a service for the impatient. I often even forget about the order by the time it gets here, but the savings on items are just too great at times in spite of the turtle shipping speed. By the way, that Astrolux light can more than match lights that cost 3 times as much. I might even get brave and de-dome one of them.

High quality cells like Samsung 25r or 30q will hold voltage better than less expensive cells. All will self discharge some though. I never really feel comfortable if I do not really know what cell is really under a wrap…especially for vaping or headlights. I also prefer charging the batteries in high quality chargers. I really do not know how they get away with the extreme exaggeration they put on some battery wraps considering the danger. I appreciate a company that does not seem to inflate the mah and current ratings of their batteries.

It depends on the way I will use the light whether or not I like a magnet…some like the nicron n7 with the swivel head, are great for using under the hood of a car. For an EDC light I agree with not liking the magnet, but when you have a lot of lights to choose from every day, a few with magnets are OK.

Hey Lightbringer. Does the A7P only have 2 modes? 65 lumens and 200 lumens? If yes, I would have to pass, even though it's now listed at $7.29.

Yeh, l/h/l/h/l/h/… simple enough.

Thanks for the confirmation. 65 lumens is way too high for a low mode for my purposes, especially in a penlight.

Personally, I don’t think low is 65lm. Maybe on a fresh out of the package alkaleak or something, but…

No AAA eneloops, no fresh AAAs, as I typically just burn down alkaleaks that are already losing their oomf on mum’s craplights, but mine looks like 10lm on low and maybe 65lm on high. Frankly, that’s all I wanted.

Anyone wanna throw a coupla new alkies at me and I’ll put it to a better test. :laughing: As it is, I only get hand-me-downs.

Yeah, it’s odd. All the AAA lights I got, that’s all I use ’em for.

While we’re on deals, anyone who’s interested, czech out MPOW earmuffs on vipon. I got a set of H17s and saw an ad for H18s, down to 30 from 50. “No vouchers, only a reduced price” that was supposta be 25, but I picked ’em up for 30. Then that disappeared and they were back up to 50, then still showing 25 but price on Amazon was still 50, buncha weird things going on from one day to the next day.

Cheapers ones (forgot which) were 13.50 with a vipon code.

So… just keep viponning and see if there’s a deal for that day. By the time I’d post anything, it would’ve changed.

How’s the bass on these? I bought the H12 and bass was somewhat underwhelming when using BT. I sent them back.

Pretty good on the H17, even a notch better on the H18.

Was kinda in a hurry to place an order, and this vid from JDA sold me. :laughing:

There’s a huge difference when using them wired with ANC on vs off. Off, they’re kinda meh, but with it on, they’re a lot crisper and “bassier”.

The “BossHiFi B8”s I got (literally had to look up my order, as they have zero writing or anything on ’em) sound about as good (pure wired, no ’lectronix inside) as the ’18s do with ANC on, so that’s pretty good in itself.

The B8s are my goto earmuffs when watching movies and the like. No need to worry about batteries or charging, as long as the area’s pretty quiet.

Anyway, I tried ‘em with Aquatica’s “Deep&Wild” and D4L’s “Laffy Taffy”, both with pretty thumpin’ bass, and they pass the test. :laughing:

Hmmm^ Link not working. Did it sell out that fast?

Change the times (×) to an ex (x).

The forum was doing weird things with the link, but I found a workaround. It should be working now.
