It says group buy, but If you proceed you get the possibility to pay the sales price with paypal. I believe this is basically a normal sale… But due to Chinese new year, they call it a group buy since shipping will be delayed until until 21. feb (or maybe a bit later).
The offer should be available for more than 2 weeks so good time to think…
Considering throw for the buck. Are they really worth the extra $??
I don’t have a thrower. I dont have a side switch light either… I dont really need one, but would be nice to try. And I know that I at one point will buy one. I would probably prefer one of the shorter models above… but for the price this seems to be a bargain…
Based on other threads, this should be easy to mod with resistor (if right driver). And could maybe be a nice de-doming project too for extra throw…
I don’t know much about these things… What does it mean when it says in the title “1200LM” ? I thought that would be Lumens, but then in the description it says 350 Lumens.
Chinese lumen claims are usually way off. In most cases the claims are unrealistic high. In some cases 2-3 times higher than claimed or printed on the lights…
It all depends on how well the light is driven (how much amps the led are getting.)
Just ordered one. This will be the first larger sized flashlight since my obsession started a few weeks ago. Ordered a couple of cheap xml flashlights to dip my toes in, now addicted. Keeping my eyes peeled for more cheap newb flashlights to buy haha.
Mine too. I really like the light but I need to use two protected cells and they still rattle a bit.
I like the forward clicky and the fact it always comes on in high. There are other modes if you need them but they don’t interfere with it being a single mode high output thrower.
I fitted a rubber cigar grip ring to mine and it made it better. For the first time I am reaching for this light instead of my beloved MPP-1 Solarforce with 2-18650 extension.
It’s a good light but the tube is too long and too large of a diameter. Makes for a sloppy fit with some batteries.
They shipped it out and send me a trackingnumber.
But I ordered only some hours after the group buy had expired - now it is over for a few days. I don’t know what happens now.
I think if the group buy is complete closed you do not get the paypal link and couldn’t pay.
