…I need a companion for my UC15

CalvinIS · 2018-11-08T23:42:59.000Z

It is most definitely NOT $115.

The display is never on for more than a few seconds at a time, I don’t foresee this being an issue.

Can you post some pictures from other angles so we can see how thick it looks? I’d also like to see a picture showing the business end with the reflector and emitter.

Thanks!

TheBigLEDowski · 2018-11-09T00:11:40.000Z

I would pay max $50 for this

Gebe · 2018-11-09T00:12:56.000Z

Reminds me a little of the one RovyVon is now releasing except somewhat smaller but more complicated.

bmengineer · 2018-11-09T00:23:26.000Z

I’ll post plenty of images with my review. There’s no reflector though, it uses a TIR.

Trail_Trek · 2018-11-12T10:48:42.000Z

$117! (long exhalation and whistle of air) what a shame, I would have loved to get a few as gifts this christmas time.
Oh well il just grab a bunch of nitecore TINI instead.

The dimensions on this are a little disappointing! Thicker than most 18650 lights…

Agreed, the promotional images seem to avoid showing the thickness. Im still reeling from that absurd price.

All your questions can be answered in my review here ! Ask me over there if you have any questions for me about this little guy. It’s more 16340 sized than traditional keychain lights.

Joss · 2018-11-12T16:20:35.000Z

Ummm…the price is just…ridiculous.
I like their products but sometimes can’t understand the pricing policy.

I agree fully if that price is correct this light is way overpriced, and a lot of overkill for a keychain light.

Now here is an expensive TUP:

The Telegraph

Record-breaking sheep sells for price of a small house

As the most expensive sheep in the world, there is one thing Deveronvale Perfection can be sure of – at £231,000, he will never be made into lamb chops.

But seriously, WTF for a keyring (allegedly) torch ?

I mean, seriously, what’s going on ? Maybe encrust it with Swarovski crystal, gold plate, and sell it to … whoever.

In the vape world, there are countless box mods with oled screen, advanced regulation, micro USB to charge battery and to upgrade firmware, etc…for 40$.
Vaping stuff are quite recent compared to flashlights but flashlights are now years behind e-cigarettes.

The TUP for 117$ is ridiculous.

That site also lists the P12GTS at $150 while nitecorestore.com has it at $80, so it may not be the best source for pricing - and I’m not even sure the currency is USD.

If it’s Nitecorelights, the price is in Singapore Dollars, which are as of this morning $0.72 USD. And at that rate their $150 will be $108.50 USD.

Just checked - the Nitecorelights price is now $117 SGD, which converts to $84.63 USD. If you buy three the price drops to $85 SGD, which would be a good deal if you have two pals who would also like one.

Nitecore.com has them listed - the Nitecorestore shows them as well, but no price.

All of the normal spots now have pictures. [Nitecore.com, nitecorestore.com, nitecorelights.com]

Even for 80$, it’s outrageously expensive.

To give an idea, a small vape box like the artery nugget (1100 mAh) was sold for 26$ on fasttech 2 years ago :

(not my picture).

lfowner · 2018-11-12T19:52:26.000Z

I agree, too expensive!

Don’t know what buyers they are looking for, but it isn’t a collecting-light.

bmengineer · 2018-11-13T01:48:27.000Z

Everyone can relax,the MSRP is $65.

Xikex · 2018-11-13T03:15:06.000Z

It looks very tempting
