Until the end of the week, use promo code July4 to receive a discount on all pre-order and regular Nitecore/Zebralight flashlights! (Offer does not cover bundled flashlights)
Nitecore SRT3 and SRT5 pre-orders are active. The SRT3 is set to arrive next week. The SRT5 is expected to arrive the week after.
All those layers are thinner than you can think of, but gold is very soft while nickel is harder even if they would be at the same thickness, the gold would go first.
Warehouse/office moving in progress! Our official address is now 2564 Seaboard Ave. San Jose, CA 95131 (Google Maps) location is functional but messy still so please pardon our dust if you plan to visit in the next week or two.
Likely M-F 9AM-5PM. We're still primarily an e-commerce store, not sure how many walk-in customers we'll have. We'll also be activating will-call in our store.
SRT3 Military Grey arrived earlier than anticipated! We're also extending the Independence Day promotions for an additional week for people who are just getting back from break or haven't yet :)
The wide version basically has an optics hotspot change from 70 degrees to 90 degrees and the spill remains the same at 120 degrees for both.
No upcoming Zebralights that we are aware of.
In other Zebralight news we just got a status update. Another batch of SC52W are on their way here, this batch will complete all our current pre-orders.
All Nitecore SRT3, 5, 6, 7 in both colors are available and shipping. July4 promo applies and is expiring soon.
Hi Speedsix, unfortunately we can't disclose in plain-text how much the discount is. You can enter coupon codes without registering for an account on our website. Yes the Wizard qualifies for free super saver shipping.
Cool, I have been looking for a floody 1x18650 headlamp but donāt want to buy the Zebralight because of past bad experiences so Armytek looks good to me. 10 year warrenty sure beats ZLās BS 90 day or whatever it is.

Some of you may recall I whined (bitched:p) a bit a while back upon receiving the Nitecore SRT7. I stand by those criticisms.
That said, today I received the SRT3 and SRT5. Order was placed late Friday, and it shipped monday. Not only was the order processed quickly, but both Craig and Calvin were online to chat. Friday evening. After 5pm. Kind of wish other companies had half of the same quality of service. The phenomenal service is no surprise, and nothing new so I'll talk about the flashlights a bit.
Clearly Nitecore put more time and thought into these lights.
Here's a list of the improvements;
Dead travel space, where you twist the magnetic ring but nothing happens, is nearly gone, to the point of insignificance.
Addition of SOS, which replaces the Green LED/option.
Improvement of the strobe - on the original SRT7, the strobe is so fast that it's actually not that disorienting.
Significantly lower low mode. Especially on the SRT3.
Instead of having an "OFF" mode within the magnetic ring detents, you have a moonlight mode.
The Red/Blue strobe is somewhat improved in speed to more closely resemble emergency lights.
In terms of overall quality, the lights are excellent. The one area where the SRT7 excels is inside the reflector. I do see some very minor imperfections on both, but more so on the SRT3.
Some improvements I would love to see;
To have the output pushed to 900 lumens+ and drop down when heat or battery charge become a problem.
A spacer for the SRT3 when the 14500/AA adapter is in place. (The walls of the spacer are more narrow so the AA doesn't rattle around, and is adequate, but why not include a $0.01 piece of plastic?)
Reduction in size. The SRT3 especially, is a somewhat big light, with the AA/14500 extension.
Even lower lows.
Overall though, I think if one or two years ago I got one of these flashlights, I might not have developed the flashaholic bug because they are that good. I'm now somewhat torn on which 18650 light will continued to be my EDC in the future. The SRT5 or the Zebralight SC600II.
