Hi All,
As the topic says , i’m wondering if there is a better flashlight Kris Kringle gift than a SF-348
criteria
Upto around the $4-5US mark delivered
Must run on standard AA/AAA batteries to give to a normal person.
Look good as a gift.
I think the SF-348 fits the bill but i’m wondering if there’s something else out there that im missing.
any suggestions?

Yep, SF-348 all the way.
Doesn’t get any better than the GearBest current sale price @$4.49

Order now and order deep
All the other lights in that range have fake emitters and none look as classy.
Later,
Keith from Up Over

SF 348 as a real Cree Led?
For me the best thing is a 10440 compatibility for this low price!

Better would be the BLF 348, but not in your stated price range.

And i don’t believe it will be available for Christmas.
True, they would have to be released in two or three weeks for >90% of them to reliably reach their destinations on time. I missed the last of the 3rd batch. Seems like people around the world will be given cool-white sf-348s this year

Plus, they need 1000 to even get this group buy started. They are up to 795 right now. The last few hundred may come slow.
Fingers crossed

> better …?
Better: one flashlight, one AAA low self discharge cell, and a LiitoKala 100 charger.
That’s more than a flashlight — it’s the beginning of an education, for only a few dollars more.
For subsequent holidays, you can give them last year’s flashlights as you replace them with newer ones.
