Hi and welcome Brite Nite. I wish you all the best in your business venture.
Do you sell out of Sydney?
Great :party:
Thanks very much. 
Hi, no the Mid North Coast.
Welcome britenite! The site looks interesting but there’s a picture in the banner of a light mounted to a rifle. What are the gun laws in NSW?
Hi Slewflash,
The gun laws as far as ownership and categories go are pretty much the same between NSW and VIC.
Cheers,
Are you willing to compete with international sellers via price matching ?
Mmm, good question
Hi borked,
You are always welcome to email me and see what I can do on a particular torch, though no guarantee I can compete with the big overseas sellers.
Cheers,
Will you be getting the new XM-L2 TK75’s? 2900 lumen version
We sure will be. Though it’s not locally available yet.
Make sure you get the battery extension as well. Will be very interested in this one
You have PM, thanks
Will do. We should be seeing stock arrive in Australia in about 2 weeks.
Cheers,
Hi All,
After a longer then expected wait time Fenix has finally released the updated TK75 in Australia.
We have managed to secure a few and have them in stock along with the TK75 extention tubes.
Cheers,
Ben
But they’ve got to pay import duties, freight, tax, gst, staff and all the other things Aussie companies use as excuses to justify expensive pricing that their competitors also have to manage as well, so go easy upon them.
Anyhow, the more we support them, the more justification they’ve got in pressuring wholesalers, distributors and importers.
You didn’t thing they get their stock directly from Fenix, did you ?
My post was a tad tongue in cheek 
I whole heartedly appreciate the frustration of being gouged due to the hemisphere and indeed country we both reside within Waves an angry fist in the direction of Jerry Harvey, wholesalers, distributors, importers and suppliers artificially inflating pricing by time it reaches the retailers
Oh and Dick Smith is a hypocritical sell out.
I’ve been advised he made his fortune selling electronic parts sourced from Asia, not from Aussie companies!
He helped kill that industry here.
walks off grumbling more about global inadequacies in a global economy while seeking something cold and stiff to placate my nerves
Indeed! The bloody nerve, a business wanting to make a profit. Who the hell do they think they are, not providing us with trinkets at a loss.
Just like the people working for me, thinking they should get paid. What’s this world coming to.
I doubt he is making stacks of profit after all the expenses listed in previous posts.
The few local vendors we have here can rarely compete with China except on occasional "specials" and their prices always seem higher overall. As well as costs, you need to remember that they are unlikely to be moving the volumes the OS vendors are.
I've no sympathy for the likes of JH or DS but a small shop starting up selling lighting gear is a brave venture and I wish them the best. I can only hope that as more shops start moving product, more people will find out about some of the great stuff available these days. Bigger volumes, lower prices and so on. But it may take a few years as flashlights (torches here) seem to remain a niche market.
Sorry to say that I can't afford these prices either. Budget Light Forums is going to be a hard place to sell anything as by nature we are no doubt all somewhat better informed than the average customer.
