The original SingFire 348 may be just what you are looking for. It outputs around 40 lumens (rather than 50) running on NiMH. Here is the GearBest sales page (non-aff).
Got mine a while ago but was waiting for my macro lens to arrive before I did any damage.
Great pics pyro1son!
Ps. Plain ones are already out of stock and there are only 31 BLF ones left.
Btw. Anyone try a driver swap on these to get multi modes?
I received 2 today, they’re gorgeous, great for gifting.
I hope those will be back in stock soon.
Still 18 left.
Maybe I should start a new thread about possible new batch.. Will do that during the weekend.
I’ll watch for that. Ended up ordering 10 of these. If the fit/finish and $7 price point can be kept these make good gifts
Only 10 left!
Just ordered two more. Now there is six left.
Approximately how long did it take for you guys to receive the light? I ordered on the 11/22 and they said it shipped 11/23. I’m in California
How did you have it shipped? It could take up to 6 weeks I guess. I think it took about two weeks to reach Wisconsin.
If we have got this right there should be 3 left now- I have just ordered 3.
Now it says out of stock when you try to order.
That's right. Both versions are now sold out.
I updated the OP and thread title to reflect this.
Thank you everyone for participating this GB!
Thank you for making it happen!
Just got mine, very nice, need another.
I’d be interested if there’s ever another group buy for a driver which has both low and high modes. The battery doesn’t last long with this driver, and it’s often too bright. Would be cool to have, perhaps, 5 lm and 50 lm, low first, with no memory.
It’s otherwise very nice though, and I really dig the pure white floody beam and seemingly-seamless body.
+1
I’ve already received two orders. Only about 2 weeks after I received the shipped notification.
I’m in Oregon. USPS mail (free no fuss delivery option; default), no signature required.
Congratulations, _the_! Your group buy has been an unmitigated succcess.
This BLF-348 is a much better flashlight than I expected it would be. Tint and beam are excellent. The BLF-348 is a perfect around-the-house light. I have also experimented carrying it as an EDC light, but it may not have enough modes for that. Heretofore, my EDC has used AA or 18650. I find myself liking the diminutive size of AAA.
I agree with ToyKeeper that a 2-mode version might be nice. My only concern is PWM. One advantage of the single-mode light is the absence of PWM.
