Ok, what do you want for Nov group buy from Dinodirect (updated 1st GB for 2012!!)

Well, a charger + 2x18650 for less than $12... is not so bad :o The only thing, AFAIK those UF are not so good.

Thanks for all of you.Here comes Cyber Monday. We have marked down the price of many products. During Nov. 28 00:00 - Nov. 30 23:59 (PST).

Woow They indeed marked down a lot of prices !

Check out Fenix, Jetbeam, etc. Sunwayman V60C is ~113$ after the coupon.

And SkyRay STL-V2 is below 40$ delivered.

Looks like the "to-gift" shelf will get more flashlights this season.

Thanks Summer

Cheers for the heads up, ordered the Sunwayman V60C for $113, with a possible 15.45% cashback using a UK cashback site, Topcashback.

Best price I've seen, even without the cashback.

Aww man....i had a $50 gift card (faulty Sunwayman V10A that I could not use NiMH/Alkaline and on Li-ion it goes from 0.01 lumens to 50 lumens and then jumps straight to 230 lumens or so). And i used it on a Sunwayman M20C XP-G just yesterday. Yell Well at least it has a decent low 13 lumens and it's magnetic ring.

Sunwayman manufactures very nice lights. I already have the T40CS ($101 shipped) but this V60C would be nice as well.

Not enough $$$....

Jetbeam RRT-2 XP-G is the light to get as well. Extremely solid flashlight, magnetic ring. I have the XM-L, really a joy to use. $75 after 15% disc.

BC10 also not too bad, 270 lumens pocket rocket. $25 after 15%!

What the.... RRT-0 XM-L (latest version) for 75 bucks? This is selling at $110 in the US stores.

(btw the infinite variable magnetic ring series has a special function, I think it's strobe or what, you just switch it On and Off thrice very quickly to access)

If not a donut hole in RRT-2 (XP-G version) and stupid strobe position on the ring, it would be an extremely nice universal flashlight.

The other cheap, yet good quality flashlights, that are very competitive priced (at time, I write this post) are:

Klarus P2A, Jetbeam BA10, Fenix E05 (yes, colors also available), Nitecore IFE2, Fenix TK45.

As for the Sunwayman T40CS ...here is the cheapest price, I know about:

http://www.bestinone.net/index.php?route=product/product&path=42_43&product_id=463

If not that horrible "$" exchange ratio and the fact I'm trying to control this addiction, I would probably buy it.

The XM-L RRT-2 does not have a donut hole, prob coz mine is OP. heh... The strobe "issue" is overblown, it is a magnetic ring flashlight, you can get past it really fast. No issue in reality - trust me on this.

BTW for Bestinone prices, you need to add $2.28 for handling (registered mail), on everything.

I am trying to control too....coz i am trying to start on astronomy. hehe... :D

You can see the BIG difference in efficiency here. 3 x 18650 power house, 5 lumens on the XM-L = 150hrs.

1 x 18650, 13 lumens = 100hrs for the M20C XP-G magnetic ring control but not infinite variable. <-- and this is just merely average actually

I want that V60C so bad but I won't be in town in another 2 week to receive the light. At $115 it is the cheapest EVER. I'm a big fan of sunwayman, I just love that beautiful finish on their lights. Now if DD is sending me $15 gift card in the next 24 hours for sending me 3 wrong modes lights and the V60c's price still the same, I "think" i will order and send it to a relative house (don't know if i could do that if paying using paypal)

At one of our local forums, there was review of Sunwayman lights, which included also M20C:

http://www.torch.pl/forum/index.php?topic=58161.0

Low mode current draw is 0.013A which means more than 100hrs ...but it means it's not 13lm. It's the same situation as with M10A. The low mode is EXTREMELY low, way lower than manufacturer specs. As for V60C runtime... indeed bummer. It seems that circuit with electronic switch is not that efficient.

I see.... 13mA is 5 lumens on the LED calculator spreadsheet. Not sure how much is the driver loss. Actually like that i like it even more, i was like pretty stressed last night, 13 lumens is too bright! My N-Light ST50 takes in 0.017A as well, it reads about 4 lumens on the meter but it's probably very inaccurate at such levels. Will do a comparison.

Does BC10 take RCR123?

You can, absolutely no issue, just open a case with CS and they will take care of that. I selected the "wrong" address in Paypal (I have 3 address...hehe) and i opened a case with CS, they say they will take care of that, no worries. DD CS writes 1 to 2 replies per day, pretty good. This is the advantage in dealing with Chinese companies, everything is OK. What would you want them to write on the customs sheet? (esp for EU?)

You love them and also you hate them.... heh....

I guess it should. Hmm...never noticed that it takes CR123 instead of RCR123 aka 16340s...

Shoot, i want that P2A. 2 x AA so it'd be good for your parents etc. Very nice design, HA etc. 26 bucks shipped! That's a budget light in my book. Will ask my wife to see if her parents want a light.
