Uggh. I paid 200.00 for mine and thought that was a good deal! I’d snap this one up in a heartbeat.
And it’s definitely a reaction to the K40 - which I’ve ordered. Now, if only there was competition for the Nitecore TM15. (BTW, did gunsafari.com go out of business? I bought my TM11 from them…)
yea its a good deal but it seems like a slap to the face for the others who paid full price that now they decide to give this deal because the k40, id say just buy the k40 and support sbflashlights
same here
Thanks Dimlux for the info about this deal, and pretzy for the feedback.
I was just about to order from HKE, but this is a far better deal. I had a chatt with online customer support before ordering, and all orders ship with DHL now since a few days to improve shipping. Hopefully the customs dont get too curious. I have been lucky so far with my orders via registered airmail.
Healthy competition is good for us consumers, finally some flashlights get to a much more logical price. Maybe K40 can strike back by lowering its price... They'll get a lower margin of profit, but surely they'll sell more units... imagine for example this Thrunite offer against an $80 K40... I am curious, who wouldn't buy a K40 for $80?
I don’t wanna piss off any faithful early adopters who purchased my K40. Also if I do have dealers in the future, in America we have moral obligations to “take care of our dealers”.
It has extra throw at max, but at over 400 meters you can barely see anything (like a human being). I do like the better runtime of 5 hours at 620 lumens, which is the sweet spot, vs the crelants 1:30 at a similar lumens range with 1 18650 cell. It has better components, safety features and more modes which is extremely nice, but it’s a little too thick for my tastes.
