Great deal
Same light with a 30-40 lm medium and I would have bought
Nice that there is a BLF-edition, pity (but I would have been surprised) that it does not have different ('BLF-enhanced') features from the stock light though. I'll pass on this one, I have a nice AA twisty already.
(I did buy the archer from the group buy 
)
Just ordered .
Ordered one too.
OMG-how do I resist? It looks so tiny.
I am so weak….
it had BLF on it, could not help myself :bigsmile:
I know someone brought up whether this light supports 14500s and the answer was yes but there could be damage done because of the extra heat generated.
The question I have is for those who might already own the light: have you used 14500s and what has been your experience?
Thanks!
Am I correct in assuming the only reason you would ever want to try this is that it would be a lot brighter than the 169 lumun?
They alreaydy sold 50 pcs, I had to get one before they run out 
Couldn’t resist ordering one. Needed a good AA light.
Batt rattling when the light is off? How does the mem works?
Ditto. If this was a unique BLF edition with some kind of enhanced function I would buy. For now, my trusty T10 will do.
Yep. And to be frank, I’ve done this with other AA or AAA lights and as long as I don’t keep the light on too long or use the lower modes I haven’t had a problem - but some do revert to direct drive when doing so…
The T10/Saber is pretty small, light, and thin-walled. You would definitely want to use caution with li-ions. Not much different than any tiny pocket light really.
+1 Same situation here 
I know I might be opening up a can of worms, but can you build a better AA light for 20 bucks? I currently only have a sipik clone and I like the modes on this light.
I did some comparative lumen values in this thread: Comparative lumen readings
On Ni-mh I got: >1, 7, 125.
On 14500 I got: >1, 157, 378
Watch the heat though…
Just what I thought! That certainly answers my question. Thanks for the great info!
I bit on this one as well. Like djozz and bald1 remarked, I too wish they had done something more than just slapped a sticker on it to make it a special edition. Perhaps a limited run of special anodization color, a high CRI or NW XP-G2, or even an extra mode or something. $19.99 shipped to the states and a huge bump in output over my T10 was enough to make me bite though. Heck 169 lumens is only 9 off from the Archer's 178 and since I don't require a clip and a holster (have too many in that size already) the extra $15 saved made it worth it.
ANy hints for ordering?
Any additional bonus discount?
What about the 100points someone mentioned?
Is it really made for liion use?
