It has been my EDC since you gave me the Hex to create firefly lows. It is in my pocket as we speak, and has earned a place on the nightstand… a true 24/7 EDC.
For you guys in the US or outside Asia, how is the TS10 offered? Is there an option to include a battery (and charger) bundle like a SP10 Pro as per official Sofirn Store? I just add USD2 and I get a 14500 and charger.
I just want to compare notes because in the ‘Official Wurkkos Store’ that caters to my end of the globe offers the TS10 with battery at a cost more than twice a TS10 without a battery.
In local currency, with battery: Php3,707; without battery: Php1,257. Even without converting to USD, simple math shows that it’s cheaper to buy 2x TS10 than to buy 1x TS10 with a battery.
Did I miss anything about shipping out 14500 batteries from China?
Wonky pricing considering I just add USD2 for a battery in a SP10 Pro (and I find it ridiculous on a Lumintop dealer that I need to add USD4!!! to a FW1AA for 1pc 14500 battery).
It’s simple - Lumintop is overpriced and has poor quality control. I can easily tell which manufacturers are overpriced in China especially when I look at their add on items.
My issue is with the Wurkkos site selling a TS10 with battery for more than the cost of 2pieces of TS10.
If the ‘overpriced Lumintop’ as you call it only asks for USD4 for a 14500 battery, why does the additional battery for a TS10 cost more than a TS10 flashlight itself?
Thanks! That’s indeed helpful — that explains turnaround time between ordering and receiving my order and maybe why the flashlights stay in export customs for 48hrs+.
For all I know, the origin of the TS10 is deeper in China so transporting the torch with Li battery might cost them more……
Nah, infrastructure is very good in China and there is virtually no difference shipping costs from any Chinese city.
I misunderstood you earlier… the TS10 with battery cost does seem high. Wurkkos can check out if there is a pricing mistake since their other flashlights can ship with a battery for a small marginal increase in costs. It’s true that adding an EXTRA batteries beyond the number of flashlights you order will greatly increase costs.
