Now you’ll have to get one or two of the GB Stainless steel AAA lights for $6 each !


.

Do you like it?

It has a really hard switch, and the WW is almost too yellow.
But for $6, with a lithium primary, it’s an impressive gift light.

Yeh I looked at that, not a fan! Don’t know why. Unpleasant tint, a bit long for a AAA.

+1 :slight_smile:

This is great thanks…. Subscribed. Now all we need is place that will sell protected 18650’s at a more reasonable price.

I wish we had RMM in Australia :stuck_out_tongue:

Supersports600 on ebay sells protected 18650’s but for an absolutely ridiculous price.

see: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/19237

18650 gonna have to be either the laptop battery from ebay previously mentioned or fasttech!

RMM has been a bit frustrating for me. Twice used the site contact form for a quote and never received a response. Just gonna wait for a proper online international ordering system.

Illumn. Works out fine if you dont want 1 battery. Calvin is great to deal with too, and prices are comparable. Only the cost of post stings, but like I said, buy more than one item and its not so bad. When I worked it out, using the cheaper Chinese sites it wasnt worth the wait and hassle over a buck or two per battery. Illumn just delivers quick, same quality, same price, just spread post across more items.

Yea that’s true. I did get a head lamp off illumn and some miscellaneous things. 7 days door to door. They don’t sell the same range of DIY parts etc though, like FET drivers, MTG2 QO, convoy triple setups etc.

Most of you may know already but for those who don’t this ebay seller still has the best price on KeepPower 5200 26650 batteries. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-X-26650-Keeppower-5200-mAh-rechargeable-Lithium-ion-batteries-yes-5200mAh-/281353168513?pt=AU_Electronics_Batteries_Chargers&hash=item4181f4a681

He mentioned that he’s neglected to do the maths on his price and he may actually be losing out after paypal and fees. That may mean he will be raising the price. Not unusual to either, considering he’s got better prices than everywhere else. And that’s rare for an Aussie seller!

These are the protected ones. Another $3.00 for the pair.

I saw those awhile ago and they are indeed a great price

They sent me two by mistake.

I'll take the extra packet to get rid of them for you.

I think the Dick Smith pick-n-pack workers are a bit tired of sending out batteries and just ramming them into envelopes randomly.

I’d love to see more Aussie group buys, especially with drivers. We could bulk buy from the RMM then just post stuff in padded envelopes. I think the postage on batteries would make it prohibitive though. You would have to buy 10+ batteries just to justify the price of Australia post.

AA Eneloops from Dick Smith. Home delivery only. If someone knows how to use the postage estimator please let us know.

The postcode box you can see does not work :~
Scroll down a bit and select “delevery” from the four options, then enter your post code and choose suberb/area from the pop up selector.
