44$, that’s a bit steep for so small flashlight! I guess Spark is not giving it “cheap” actually all of their light are WOW priced…
Can I use blfdemigod’s tactic and offer $15?
Comeon Sirius, $15 for a $59 lamp? Not even I would dare suggest that absurd price! But to be honest, it wouldn't hurt to ask for a lower price, say $40 even , but if not, then $44 works for me too. I am also astounded by how much these sparks retail for. $59 seems way too high for this brand, at least make the price 2/3rds-3/4th of a zebralight, but not as much as a zebralight!
I was going to get a zebralight, but feel they are too expensive as well for what they are. But the SG3, looks really good to me with that carbon-fiber sleeve, and takes 16340 batteries! I wish spark would make another headlamp model as well, that could fit a single 18350 battery, and push out 650+ lumens!
Can we get 25 people! I really want that SG3, but only at $44, at $49 I'm out!
If the SG3 came with both reflectors I’d be in, but $11.50 for the extra reflector? Definitely out.
I’d do $44 for the SG3+throw reflector. The SF3 has it and I don’t need the headstrap, I just need a right-angle light.
What! Is that too much J)
Zebralight and Spark (among others like Armytek) are seriously overpriced + chinese carbon is really cheap especially because you don’t need high strength and thickness carbon like for bicycle components/frames…
A year ago or so I was really excited about bike light that they were getting ready to release (SDB100) and when they finally did, price was like $160+ and I was like:
I have a Zebralight H502d (as well as many other flashlights), which is a good flashlight and one I use nearly every day, but the fact that it starts off in High1 or H2 is a negative. I like the fact that the SGx has memory mode as Medium will provide enough light and has quite a long battery life.
-Is the only difference between the SG SF the head mounting hardware?
-For $44 are you guys essentially buying it because it is a good headlamp or because it serves as a good torch also?
I believe the SF series comes with both flood and spot reflector. But its a flashlight form factor, light comes out the front.
The SG series only comes with a flood reflector (spot reflector is extra) but it is in Headlamp form-factor, where the light comes out the side. I also like the SG3's small size personally, as it takes 16340 batteries. This is all I know between the SF and SG series. Maybe others can chime in about more differences.
