G700 Scam .... Glad I did my research!

Coscar:

I saw an advertisment for a G700 tactical light and was intrigued. Thank goodness I started doing a little reading and ended up here, where I found more info on flashlights than I could believe, most of it I couldnt understand. I (like most folks I imagine) never realized that some flashlights required drivers!

I am new to flashaholicism and would like to learn more but I am at this point, to say the least, very confused. I have spent much time reading here trying to educate myself and hopefully find just the right light……. preferably a small but powerful one. I ran across a link on BLF that took me to Banggood and the Astrolux S1 that was linked to the BLF site but was wondering if the Astrolux S1 CREE XP-L 1600LM 7/4modes 18650/18350 w/additonal shorter tube for $30 is the same light as the BLF A6 CREE XPL 1600LM 7/4modes EDC for $40 …… If so, does the Astrolux have the same drivers and capabilities? If not, what are the differences besides the lower price and the additional 18350 tube? Is the discount code GBLFA6SE current for the BLF model and if so, what is that price?

Thanks for your site and it’s detailed information and TIA for your advice. I am looking forward to learning much more.

There’s a thread about the Astrolux:

I don’t have one of those (but have 2 BLF A6s :laughing:, but it says it has the same UI as the A6.
