BLF Edition ThruNite Saber 1A Group Buy - $19.99

You will hardly notice it in your pocket. I have both the T10 and Saber versions. Great threads for effortless one hand operation. Move the LD01 to the keychain.

Still waiting for mine to ship. :frowning:

Mine has shipped and has apparently left singapore so that usually means a week to clear customs in SF and post to my house. I’m interested to see how it compares to one of my 10440 Solitaires.

I was supposed to see mine today, has apparently reached but I wasn’t in. The wait for tomorrow…

Loving this nice little light :slight_smile: Limited edition :slight_smile:

When is the group buy for the Saber going to be available again? I want to buy some of these.

Just tried the firefly mode in a dark room. It’s awesome.

I received this flashlight today in the mail. It looks great however I can not get it to work with fresh AA’s. Any ideas before I completely call it a defective?

I don’t have mine yet, but you can try this thread for some basic troubleshooting:

Hope you can get it to work. Usually there isn’t much that can go wrong with a twisty light.

My saber hasn’t arrived yet, but my T10 had contact issues. I finally did a thorough contact cleaning (had done a quick one before), cleaned all the factory lube off the threads and o-ring, then relubed everything with nyogel 760g dialectric lube. Seems fine since then.

I received my Saber 1A today and have to say I'm very disappointed with it. Tried a fresh Eneloop and it turned on in moonlight mode... for about 10 seconds before it started flickering and turned off. The pill was a bit lose (you could hear it move if you moved the flashlight up and down) so I tightened it. Still nothing, if lucky I get some flickering for a couple of seconds when turning it on before it goes dark.

Another thing is the tint, much "worse" than my T10. It has a very cool tint, you could almost say blueish while my T10 is very neutral, almost on the warmer side.

I'm gonna see tomorrow if I can get it fixed, if not I'm gonna contact Thrunite and see what they suggest.

I have received my Saber 1A today. I have to try it a few days, but I’m happy, it shows more power than the T10, lightweight, easy to change modes with one hand, and is cooler tint than the T10.

Compared to my T10

I don’t have my BLF one yet but my Saber is pure white where as my T10 has a blue/purple tint. It will be interesting to see what my BLF one is like compared to the regular Saber then.

mine are still sitting in singapore :~ …where they have been since march 26th. maybe one day they will come! getting a bit worried though with all of the people i see with complaints

Just checked tracking for my BLF Saber for 100th time. It is scheduled for delivery today. There was NO previous updating to tracking until this morning.

Hope it’s a good one. Will update.

hah same. said it was in Singapore until today and now it says its here!

To those who have received it, does your Saber 1A make a barely noticeable high-pitch noise (got to put it close your ears) when in firefly mode? The noise wasn’t in the medium or high mode.

Yes, there are moonlight noise but is not annoying (you have to put the flashlight near the ear and must have absolute silence).
In other modes no noise.

Do you think I should ignore the tracking?

I ask as it says:

30th March Despatched overseas (Country Code: US)

This sounds a little concerning as I’m in the UK….

6th April Attempted Delivery (Country Code: US)

Not had anything through the door, no card left and no package.

Of course this tracking number might not be for me, I have two emails from Thrunite, one with this tracking number on but doesn’t actually say it is a tracking number. And one that says tracking number, but instead of a number has my name inserted info the field….

My tracking info still says dispatched to overseas on 3/30. Nothing on the USPS site yet. Looks like you guys in Europe are getting yours quicker than here in the states. Maybe by the end of this week or early next mine will appear.

I admit I am worried with all the issues reported from those who have received already. Can't recall why but I was under the impression that the Saber was supposed to be less CW than the T10. Sounds like it's not.
