$40 is still a very good price.

Ordered for $46 with points!

same here no Germany

GearBest only ship SD75 to these countries:

  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Denmark
  • France
  • Italy
  • Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Poland
  • Portugal
  • Russia
  • Spain
  • Switzerland
  • United States

does it contain any explosive acid or what?

simply no reason to limit destinations

no GB points available on my cart

and to top that site atm not reliable online

Could be marketing strategy or shipping cost issue (light is quite big and comes with case).

Grabbed one…
Nice gift…

$34.56??? No way, you broke my record!

:sunglasses:
Found some OLD points. :+1:

Went ahead and got another at 6% off which brought it back to $46. Man this is a great buy without any coupons or discounts.

You can also send to Czech Republic. The price with GB points is crazy. $ 32 without shipping, $ 36 including shipping. Unfortunately, I already have SD75, so I will not use the action.

I Love the SD75! :+1:

My favorite is the SMOOTH reflector, GT XHP35 MCPCB, E2-1C, Mtn MAX 27.5mm Buck driver at 3amp.

My others are running Lexels 30mm Narsil drivers with up to 8,800lm, with different XHP70.2’s in them. Great Light for modding, this is an unreal DEAL :open_mouth: !

Damn … have only 120 points :rage:

I don’t know… A lot of comments from people on Selfbuilt’s CPF review about parasitic drain destroying batteries on this light, up until April of this year. Probably the USB powerbank feature i’d guess. Will pass…

Assuming this is the case, I wonder if slapping a piece of rubber on the bottom of the battery carrier would stop this (also disabling the usb powerbank and charging ability). I guess if you did this you could just turn the carrier around and put it back in if you wanted to use that.

Not fond of charging cells in series either btw

Damn, I don’t have any relatives in Poland. I live only 70 miles away from Poland.

A Twist of the battery tube disables everything. I had 1 out of 10-12 kill one of the batteries out of the 4 in the carrier, while the tube was tight. I removed the USB/Power bank in that one light because it fried itself, and killed a 30Q, never found out why? I removed the USB powerbank out of the SD75 XHP35-HI light because of the 4S battery configuration.

Never use or trusted any multiple cell in light charging system since the days and debacle of the Supbeam X60 GB! :wink:

Well people had mentioned that the batteries went flat even with the battery carrier untwisted 1/4 turn to disable the light. There’s probably a spring in the back end to power the USB charger / charging circuit, which would still have contect with the head loosened.

*Yeah there is one, photo of it in Selfbuilt’s review

The tail section draws a lot more standby current than the driver in the head. When you untwist the tube a bit, then the battery tube’s negatives (outer metal ring) will disconnect from both the driver and tailcap side. The positive will of course remain in contact due to the two springs, but you have an open circuit now for zero draw. An easy way to make sure you have no contact in the tailcap is to keep the battery checker on at all times. When the battery indicator lights are all off, then this means the battery carrier is not in contact with the tailcap when the battery tube is loose.

Correct and I still Mech Lock out all multi-cell/single cell e-switch lights…even if I use them on a day to day (night to night) basis, period. I don’t care what the latest a greatest software loc-out or other safety features have to offer, remove the batteries/carrier or open the circuit to me is safest. Unless it has a Tail cap loc-out…like the L6…

its not really hard to implement a LV shutdown of the powerbank feature, just a voltage comparator that switches it off when the sensed voltage falls below the reference voltage
