Thanks — I snagged a Red and a Black Nichia version

Do you need a account to see the link?

My bad I was on rovyvons site.

$20.06 got a black and red nichia.

Thank you!

lol red and black Nichia here also.
The UI takes some getting used to but pocket activation isn’t a worry. Usb-C charging is great convenience, tint is beautiful, beam profile is good (I’d prefer smoother and floodier).
The switch PCB solder points broke on my first one, probably from a drop. You can take the rear apart but there’s some effort. Front bezel is loctite extreme. Bought a replacement a few weeks ago and then saw this. I’ll just rotate colors depending on my mood.
The penlight form factor has really worked out for my EDC. It just disappears clipped on the corner of my pocket.

There is the venerable Uni-T UT61E - 22,000 count for about $50-$60 or so. HKJ gave it a decent review. Prices have gone up in recent years. I paid about $35 for mine a couple of years back.

Lightning Deal,

I considered getting that one a couple years ago but it was showing to be discontinued and I couldn’t find it for sale in the US, plus the leads were cheap. They had another I was looking at but ended up going for the EEVB version of the Brymen 235, which has been pretty nice to use. That became my main one now so the old nice Greenlee and Klein ones I have are backups/secondary/automotive use now. Uni-T has so dang many models and a lot of them are…cheap…but they can make some good ones and a standout here and there like the 210E. I wish they’d either drop the price on the 210E or soup it up just a little more but they seem to have locked in on perception/comparative pricing for the American market.

That is the real gain. Couple that with the ability to control the calibration of the meter and dotless modes… it can take a decent meter to a higher level. I have not collected the eeprom programmer yet, but having used a modified one and comparing it to my work and personal Fluke meters… I feel that they are good meters. But, then again I still use an old Fluke 8050A as my bench meter, flashlights do not demand the highest quality meters

I’ve now tried two different H17 headphones - they’re both unbalanced - the right channel is louder than left. Some apps/devices allow you to adjust balance, so this is fixable, but still annoying.

The 059 Lite I returned did not have this issue.

Yikes!

That's not good.

Sounds like Mpow's quality control isn't very good.

So far, my sister has gotten lucky as she's had 5 different pairs of Mpow headphones, and none have been unbalanced.

One of my Mpows does not have a sound limiter, without software to control the volume it gets as loud as a portable speaker :zipper_mouth_face:

Here’s the link work fine on desktop. I love USB-C rechargeable lights!

Excellent deal, just purchased two for the price of one. Thank you for posting :+1:

Got my 2 for 1 auroras today. My red bodied nichia is terribly off center but they seem like decent little lights. I like how the charge port is hidden in the tail.

I read about this most recent edition of the ban hammer for policy violators a little while ago (I think the third round this year, but this time it was a BUNCH of them)…now some are attempting to sue, which I don’t suppose will get them anywhere at all.

I hope this doesn’t happen to some of our flashlight sellers, some of which clearly break and bend the rules regarding reviews/ratings/compensation behind the scenes.

Looks like some of the RovyVon lights have good discounts on Amazon

Yup, some of the ones that I like are 32% off right now.

Got 2 Red Nichia today - great deal !

Neither of the included charge cables works (just a point of note)
1 light is DOA

Received both my Red Nicha’s also. Unfortunately, one of the USB to Lightning adapters doesn’t work to charge my iPhone 6Plus, but the second one does.
Aside from that, I really like the lights. My wife actually grabbed one of them too.

Try letting it charge for a while. I had one arrive below LVP and it seemed DOA but just needed a charge. If your finger is small enough you CAN turn it on when it’s plugged in to test, even when battery is below LVP threshold.
