AliExpress? That’s where I get all of mine from - I’m in Australia.

e.g. Haikelite HK05 Leistungsstarke Taschenlampe 30000LM Laterne 1000 m Reichweite Typ-C USB-Ladelampe 21700 Hochleistungs-LED-Taschenlampen - AliExpress 39

You’re welcome. Always a pleasure to help a fellow BLF’er spend their hard-earned money. :+1: One thing to add, I ordered the 5000k version of my HK05, which turned out to have a strong green tint. Were I to order again, it would be the 6500k.

Nealsgadgets is having a huge 35% sale, just enter “christmas” for code during checkout. Making this HK05 sell for an unprecedented $US 71. HaikeLite HK05 5*SFN60 30000lm 1000m Thrower Flood LED Flashlight – Nealsgadgets

You might want to read up on Nealsgadgets and decide for yourself whether you like to order from him. There have been complaints in the past and actually there’s a thread here on BLF. My own experience: I’ve bought about 5 lights from him. All arrived on time, the third one had a small defect but he wouldn’t send another one nor suggest return and I used paypal to void the sale. Since that time I have continued to buy lights from him (mainly because he has lights I can’t easily order elsewhere), without any problem. I am actually thinking about buying one now because of the huge sale.

Update: I ended up taking a chance with Neal’s offer. Paid through PayPal, so I should be relatively safe if something comes up. Really excited! :smiley:
Crossing my fingers for a success story.

I ordered a light too so good luck to both of us. Did you get the batteries from him too? I did and IIRC it was Molicel P42A button top (which this light requires; if you want to use flat top you need an adapter like this one from Convoy). Neal’s charge, $35 for 3 Molicel, is a little too high vs what we pay here in the US, but after the 35% discount it’s more acceptable.

I have 3 other 15000 lumen plus lights but this one has never failed to impress with an incredible bright floody beam that lit up whole side of the hill in my neighborhood. Looking back at my impression when I first got it below, it’s still true. Have fun.
