Good deal! I almost forget that I wanted a lantern. This is the lowest price I see. Grabbed an orange one with battery.
The LT1s is actually really nice. It comes with a buck driver unlike the new LT1s PRO which has an archaic 7135 driver.
I don’t use lanterns much. My S21F with a silicone cover acts as a make-shift lantern, but I still want a proper one and LT1s is perfect in this regard.
I didn’t experience this with my A1s.
At Top Ramp it definitely got quite warm after 2 minutes but I didn’t really notice it stepping down until closer to 4 minutes.
After that I bump it up to Turbo to try to force a big step down and it never dropped low.
The light became uncomfortably warm so I layed it down on my deck railing and hit Turbo 2 more times and it still never dropped low.
I used a Fully charged Samsung 30T and it was 69° Fahrenheit outside during my test.
Sofirn if24 pro, £19.61
Lumintop thor 3 (LEP) ~80$ with battery:
It’s a proper LEP, not one of those tiny ones. 1lumen measured it at 2.6KM (almost 2MCD). It step down from turbo after 5 minutes (okay if it’s used as a toy though).
Shows 103$ with battery for me.
The prices change quickly sometimes.
Thor 3 showing $77.58 for me right now (“no battery” option).
The deals is no longer. Totally unexpected, they threw in a free case with my LT1S order. It’s pretty good quality.
Did you order it with a battery?
Yeah batteries included. It was way too good of a deal to pass up.
I ordered one without a battery, I have many 21700 cells.
I’m hoping it comes with the case as well.
If not, I’ll probably end up buying one anyways.
Mine is in the US but hasn’t moved for a few days.
I’m more excited about it now, than I was before buying it.
I was gonna post that, you were faster haha
Did you order one? I’m curious about LEPs and that seems like a great price.
I just received nealsgadgets 14500 little Lep, my first Lep. It throws nice but I ended up paying the same price as this discounted Thor 3 so I’ll pass on this one. If I waited a bit I’d end up grabbing this, even though I saw the review and there are some flaws but 2400 m throw and 1+mi cd in this price is a true budget lep
Thank you, ordered with battery. My first LEP.
90.95 GBP incl VAT in Summer Sale.
Not a bad deal.
Sofirn Q8 Plus with batteries. About 55$ after cupons. I am not sure if it’s a superdeal, but rather a «summer deal». It’s anyways a really good deal, and I thought I’d post it here anyways.
It seems like a nice and affordable hot plate (for reflowing LED’s) for the money, the Mechanic i5X Ultra.
Normally it seems to be close to € 30,- (including shipping) but now it appears for around € 18,30 (Logged in, in the AE app) for me:
I recieved mine yesterday, but haven’t had time to test it yet, but going by the unboxing experience and feel of it, the quality appears to be alright. (Will do a test with a thermocouple later on.)
EDIT:
I did a quick test/review which you can find here: How to reflow solder an LED emitter on a PCB or MCPCB. - #271 by Wingman
