Are you sure, for me ordering to Sweden a few Efest IMR10440 cells (one cell weights only 9g) cost often several time the cost for the cells in shipping, that means you could probably sell them for much more than most sellers of Efest cells and still be cheaper than them when shipping is included, because you have much larger volumes and get better discounts from you couriers than most small shops.
If you buy them in bulk from for example fstoplights.com or other distributors.
Bear in mind though that Fstoplight’s pricing are not the cheapest around as I normally patronized their brick and mortar shop here in Singapore.
Normally I purchased AW or Efest cells from their store as it is hard to get these 2 brands online
Even if they sell in bulk to GB, they will include some profit margin, so by the time GB sell it, the pricing might not be that favourable anymore.
I know they might not be the cheapest but at least when converted from the Singaporean dollar to the Swedish currency, they have for the cells at least been pretty cheap.
What makes the purchase expensive for me is to for them to ship all the way to Sweden, something gearbest can get much better prices at because they have so much larger volumes than a store like fstoplights.
Fstoplight sells the IMR10440 for S$5.00 = US$3.5 = 30sek
And that is for one gearbest should be able to get a decent volume discount if they buy a bunch of them like we all can from most sellers
But please if you know any better example in the region that sells Efest tell us and maybe Gearbest can stock from there instead
Hi marcl, thanks for informing, the Eu site now has no any discount hint, ps: the eu site version is more expensive than the china and us warehouse, because of the higher cost

So what’s everyone’s thoughts on the Y3? Good deal?
I have a ton of flashlights to work on already, but the Y3 with an extension would work with one of the 6V LEDs.
3 extensions and you could use an XHP35.

I wouldn't buy Xtar products from Gearbest, or any of the manufacturers that makes the retailer handle their warranty or customer support.
I bought a Xtar H3 Warboy from them that was missing the clip and this is the response I got.
"Sorry that the supplier cannot offer the extra clip to us"
I think you would be better off getting a price match through M4D M4X and Neal and buying from Banggood. They have proven their customer support with the Manker A6 QC. Thats what I'll be doing from now on. https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/31589
No offense to GearBest but those are pretty crap meters. It is hard to recommend anything Mastech makes because they cut EVERY single corner they can. The only ones worse are Victor (VC models) and the Extech EX series (this is made by CEM china and wouldn’t be a bad meter except for quality control is ATROCIOUS). I would choose Uni-T EVERY single time over Mastech. Honestly though, in the $40-50 price range, it is VERY hard to beat the Amprobe AM-510. It is damn robust, nicely featured and has heavy duty input protection (not a big deal when measuring flashlights but a big deal when you use it on other stuff in your house.
Other options are the Uni-T UT139C and the Fluke 101 (this thing is one of the most robust meters Fluke makes) or the Fluke 107 at a much higher price.
Hmm, it might be that GB are not buying directly from Xtar, thus are unable to get pocket clip from Xtar through GB’s supplier, because supplier couldnt care less.
I asked GB to reship headstrap, which is of faulty construction on H3 and eventually will fail, I believe, on ALL H3 lights with very little use and they dont have any suitable replacement on sale either, so they said that they cant get headband and will issue GB wallet money to my account.
Im satisfied with such solution, because for the price paid, I dont care if the light comes from GB directly from Xtar or through bigger supplier chain.
49.99$ would be an issue, 30.59$ is very budget for such headlamp and Im OK with getting part of my money back and spending that on better acessories for my H3.
