Aliexpress has some really good “super deals” right now. Many are sold by Cutes Living Store which doesn’t look like some fly by night operation. I’ve received one of these lights already and have a couple more on the way.
Finding the best deal is sometimes tricky. Make sure you’re signed-in. Use a desktop browser or request the desktop site from your mobile browser. From the homepage, go to Super Deals. Browse around until you find the good ones.
Some highlights:
Sofirn:
-IF22A $17.xx
-SC31 Pro $14.xx
-SC18 $9.xx
-HS40 $15.xx
-LT1S $25.xx
There are more super deals from these brands and more but these are the ones that jumped out at me.
Edit: and it looks like you have to find these via the super deals page. If I search for “Sofirn IF22A” for example, the cheapest one is $23.xx (not bad, but $17 on super deals is crazy good).
Thanks!
I ordered a Sofirn L1TS in orange.
Now I will have an L1TS for everyone in my family in case the power goes out.
EDIT:
Looks like the orange ones are out of stock now.
It is possible to order the lantern in black, but it comes with a 21700 cell for a couple of bucks more.
Bummer. Maybe it will come back. I’ve been checking these deals daily but haven’t looked at the specifics like color. I do know when I made that post this morning it was the first time I noticed the $19 and change price. I’ve routinely seen it at $25.xx on these super deals prior to that.
I wonder the same…
according to this excellent video by @Cheule the CSP LEDs on the cool white end have a very green tint duv, around 0.0100, but on lower CCT when mixing, the tint goes below BBL.
very helpful… without that link the price is much higher, thank you… I just went ahead and ordered. It came out to 22.75… I could not get the $3 discount to work… oh well… lol
Is this really legit. I was looking at the negative reviews and seems like the flashlights could be counterfeit. Is there any way I can check with the store if they have the right model?
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of counterfeit flashlights but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by anything these days. Several of these deals almost seem “too good to be true” but I’ve already received a few and have a couple more on the way. Using Paypal should give you another layer of buyer protection if you’re worried about it.
