I don’t like the way it compresses the springs so much —- I might be converting this cell to unprotected

Flashlight Plasma Lighter 2 in 1 Combo [2Pack]
So a plasma lighter gets its 'fuel' from the battery?
[quote=Nachtfeuerzeug]
Yes. All of these various plasma lighters on Amazon are battery powered.
There is 18650 tubes (plus clip) sold at their store for $9.99. :person_facepalming:

Seems like a decent UI, at least it has shortcuts to firefly and turbo.
It’s funny over the years I’ve bought seral of the double head type lights — after the initial novelty wears off , they usually never get used
I received the Wuben C5 the other day. Some thoughts:
- It’s exactly as slippery as it looks, which is “very.”
- The UI is ok. I’d rather have double-click from off be turbo instead of strobe. Not memorizing moonlight when accessed via a hold from off is nice though.
- Good mode spacing.
- The tint is horrendous, unless you like a green hotspot with purple spill.
The LED on mine was quite a bit off-center. It didn’t bother me too much because the tint was so bad I knew I’d never use the light anyway. I began trying to remove the bezel for an emitter swap. A heat gun plus grippy rubber gloves wasn’t working. I got fed up and used two pliers. The gouges give the light some much-needed grip. They used lots of threadlocker 
My iron had trouble melting their solder. I think the centering issue was due to the weird bowl-shaped gasket they used. I guess as a plus it prevents electrical shorts on the underside of the reflector - something I’ve been having trouble with lately. A 16mm MCPCB requires no modification.
With a 219b 3500k the light is much better. I can see LED petals and slight off-centering if I look for it. I think I’ll add some diffusion film and it will be perfect.
I feel it was a good deal at $10 (plus $5 and lots of aggravation for a new emitter). I see it’s at $26 now. I think there are much better options at that price point, especially if you are even somewhat of a tint snob like me.
Thank you. Grabbed one just for it’s quirky looks. Haven’t bought a new light in a while. For $20, what the hell.

Cold steel 4 max scout. aus10A version. about as cheap as i’ve seen it at 65 dollars
Here’s a good deal on a AAA Wuben light. 50% off with coupon puts it around $10.50 and comes with a battery. No 10440 though I don’t believe.
That does look like a good deal!
It only comes in cool white, which I'm not too fond of, but at least it has a tail switch, something I like.
XP-G3
This guy is still at $16.oo with the coupon Wuben T2. I have this light and like it a lot. It stays in my car and feels bullet proof.
Peetpen 70% off. $9.19 I have this one too. Cool little light.
Rovyvon clone for $13.60 or so
COB and Spotlight headlamp 80% off. Comes to $4 or so
Have not used the E01, but if built as well as the E05, I would say that is a great deal.
I have the E6 on me today. Such an impressive light. I have the T2 as well. So far, I have confidence in their build quality for sure.
I got a coupla those, but be forewarned. :laughing:
First, it’s got a CW G3, so… enough said.
Second, if I’m remembering right, this is the one that’s all too quick to jump to epilepsy mode if you try changing modes the slightest bit too quickly.
I literally couldn’t give ’em away.
I normally like Wubens for awesome hardware, but retarded UIs. The exception being the TO46R which I loooooooooove. :heart_eyes:
Headlamp shows as $19.99 is there a coupons code ?
Wuben E01 review (picture heavy!)
The red/black packaging has changeed . No idea what else has changed my E01 is from 2019. It has 3 mode (Low: 1lm / Medium: 20lm / High: 100lm) with hidden SOS mode. In this case it’s a slow flash barely distinguishable from change modes. It starts in lowest mode and resets to lowest mode after about 10 seconds. XP-G3 is notoriously bad looking but what can you do? Emitter swap is as straight forward as with other AAA lights.
I prefer the UI of E01 (L/ M /H ) over the asinine UI of Lumintop AAA (M / L / H )
” Quality Quester” on amazon gives a pretty good rundown of this light. On a particular note is the lack of LVP these have. It’s a vampire light. It will keep depleting the battery past 0.9v. Not good for NIHM though.
Apparently there was a limit on the discount. I heard from a few guys that it ran out shortly after I posted it
