Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Sorry, not an Amazon Deal; but someone may be interested in this Costco Deal.

The Anker “Solix C300X DC Model Number A1728” 288Wh LiFePO4 battery Power Station package (which includes the 100W Anker 317 Model Number A2672 Charger) is on sale for $110 at Costco from October 31 thru November 16.

Anker SOLIX C300X DC Portable Power Station with 100W Fast Charger | Costco

The lowest sale price I have ever seen on Amazon is $140 for a similar Anker Power Station ( Amazon.com ) and $24 for the Charger ( Amazon.com ) which would be $164 for both when on sale, so the Costco package at $110 is $54 less which is a 33% discount from the lowest prices I have previously seen.

NOTE: The Anker Power Station on Amazon is the “Solix C300 DC Model Number A1726” which is functionally identical to the “Solix C300X Anker Model Number A1728” at Costco as far as I can tell, but has two cosmetic differences that I have noticed. The A1726 from Amazon is mostly a gray color without a rubber plug to cover the Car Socket port and the A1728 from Costco is a mostly black color with an integrated rubber plug (attached to the Power Station) covering the Car Socket port (but is not shown in the picture on the Costco web page). I have multiples of both the A1726 and A1728. They are good power stations but are not water or dust resistant.

ALSO NOTE: You will need to use the “Anker App” (for iOS or Android) to change the default configuration of the Power Station.

PSA:
(This is just a general tip.)
The default seller on any Amazon page is not necessarily the best.
Sometimes other sellers are at a lower price, or more importantly to me, sometimes other sellers have much better feedback.
This may have been mentioned before–I don’t remember if it has. :slightly_smiling_face:

Neat concept though.

LIghtbringer , are you still using those motion sensing cabinet lights?

I got a bunch of them from one of the deals earlier but have to replace batteries on them. They lasted about 2 years and are all dead now .

I might just get new ones instead of trying to rip them apart.

$6 after 40% coupon for a pair. I am thinking if it’s worth to get the 3 modes one ( (3000K warm, 4500K natural, and 6500K)
These also have “stepless dimming from 10% to 100% brightness”

I love the analogy :ok_hand:

My sister ordered some like that and the battery life was pretty underwhelming.

I have a number of those ‘big gum-stick’ cabinet light. Unfortunately they seem to all overstate the battery capacity and certainly the longevity. The battery packs are not at all robust.
FWIW, I do like the concept of the lights. Easy to use, and generally are functional for what I do with them, except for longevity.
I’ve got a couple I gutted and hooked up to a gang/4S of 18650’s. Those do last a whole lot longer, but involve some creative disassembly and soldering.
Up to you if it’s worth it.

They had some similar lights that ran off of AC in their old house and my sister figured the battery powered ones would be a good substitute. Great idea, not so great execution.

I have some in my 3d printer and I have had to hardwire them in as they go 4-6 hours then die…

I like them for inside a large cabinet that I get in to 1-2 times a week. they are good for that.

Yeh, I got a bunch still going fine.

Basement stairs, but since I replaced the fluorescent tube with LED tube, it’s just there. Still lights up, but I have to keep checking it to see if it’s getting dim and needs a top-off.

Cabinet with “lazy susan”, it takes some hand-waving to get them to light up, but they’re fine. I let The Cats “explore” inside, and they’re fascinated by The Magic Lights turning on/off for them.

Bathroom, hallway, etc., just fine.

Sis has a bunch lining the main walkway in her house so that she doesn’t even need to turn on any lights. I had no idea she even bought that many, just a single 2- or 3-pack, but she must have a dozen or more.

I even got one here, ancient CW-only light, that I just grab for a quick area-light.

So… no battery failures so far.

The Pak’ma’ra lights, or whatever the brand, had 2 versions. Smaller and shorter had a correspondingly smaller battery, whereas the bigger and longer had almost twice the battery oomf.

Both were discounted by vipon, so I got the bigger ones.
