Since the original deal alert thread doesn’t permit discussions, I thought that maybe it would be useful to have another, where discussions are welcome?

Here’s a 10180 light for $7.02:

Thanks for a thread of deals where discussions are allowed!!

The thing about discussions is that they are often meaningless, get off topic and go on for some time, making finding the deals much more difficult.

5

Subscribed. Hope this thread makes it because the lack of feedback on that "other" thread drives me nuts! Deals sometimes last for nanoseconds, other times they come/go/come again. I much prefer the Amazon thread because of all the info that follows.

Here’s SB’s thread designated for discussion of items that have already been posted under Deals — No Discussion

I’ll try to remember to put a note here if I put a deal in the main thread.

I found cheap sets of triple glow gaskets from Niwalker for Carclo optics on Aliexpress. Link: Niwalker triple glow gaskets

Lumintop, Jaxman and others sell the GITD gaskets for the FW3A and other flashlights using the triple Carclo optics for around 10$. The Niwalker gaskets are 19$ for a set of 9 different colored gaskets or 12$ for 3 of the same color.

Of course I can’t tell you if the more expensive gaskets glow brighter.

There is a big difference for example in the glow gaskets sold on Neals site for “turbo glow” vs regular gaskets that lumintop sells. The one that comes with the Lumintop EDC18 for example is soft and bendable like silicon, while the one from Neal’s Gadget is pretty stiff material and glows brighter for a much longer period. That could account for the price of various glow gaskets.

This is not one of the best deals ever but it’s a OK price.

EDIT:
I forgot that to get standard shipping warranty GB charges extra. To be comparable with other sources I added that and the light ended costing $32.74. About average. :weary:

Cheap shipping to the U.S. is $0.46 but I don't know if they charge tax or not.
