Ok, they just replied that they are out of stock and don’t know when they’ll get more, so no S15R for me. I would also recommend that you not buy this if you haven’t made an order yet. Sorry for the bum steer.
This is a fantastic deal. I already own an S15R, but I just bought this one for a backup. In my opinion it’s probably the best general purpose 1xAA format light out there, and at this price it’s a no-brainer:
Included high quality rechargeable 14500 Li-Ion battery and charger stand, but also bright with any common alkaline or NiMH battery in a pinch
Low battery indicator
Nice LED tint, almost neutral
Three useful modes with electronic thumb switch near the head, not the tail
Very low parasitic drain, battery lasts forever in storage
Hidden moonlight mode (fantastically long runtime)
Hidden strobe
Tailstands and also has a magnetic tail
Glow-in-the-dark O-ring
Nice slender side with useful removable clip
This is one of my EDC lights, and it’d probably also be great as a safe gift for someone who you normally wouldn’t want to give a Li-Ion light to.
By the way, I wasn’t paid or compensated for this post in any way, I just ran across the deal and wanted to share it.
I don’t normally like Olights, and I’ve been resisting this deal for awhile, but I finally caved. If I don’t like it, it’ll at least make a great gift set.
I ordered one of these at that sale price from GB a few weeks ago. (waiting for it to arrive.) I have a standard S15 too with the extension tubes, great light. its my current fav 2-AA light with the tub installed. I modded mine with a TIR and 4C emitter last year.
Should give you noticeably more brightness (280 lumens S15R vs. 140-odd for the D10) and equivalent or better long runtime on low, as it has an excellent moonlight mode.
they can be tricky to get the pill removed, as the switch tends to hook on the body when pushing it out towards the front, breaking a piece from the switch if your not careful.
I have the latest version of the S15 (not rechargeable) with the S15R switch on it.
I took a chance on buying it, as ‘selfbuilt’ cautioned that if you are particular about tint, then you may want to look at a different light. - Or something like that.
I bought it, maybe some 8 months ago?… I was sucked into the idea that since it had been some time, the tint would have been Fixed by then - NOT! - I LOVE Everything about it, except for the tint). - A Sickly, yellow green tint, that apparently doesn’t seem to bother most people?
If tint doesn’t matter to you - Buy It! - That’s Cheap, and it’s a Great Light!
For me - 23 Bucks and the SAME Tint, Plus the recharge feature, and a Free battery? - I’ll pass.
Could you send it to a modder? I ended up liking the UI a touch more then zebralight. Less chance of blinding yourself. Tempted to get another but I never end up keeping doubles. Maybe an S10r II?
