Do they have issue deliver to Singapore?

Can check out fasttech also. Genuine panasonic cells, but shipping is slow.

Just delivered this to my customer yesterday. He was pretty happy with his new collection.

The new UV torch arrived. Looking inside the head, the LED emitter looks something like the picture you showed.

Tank007 TK566 LED emitter looks very different.

I don't have any chibaboom 18650 at work...can't test yet.

I've made a LiIon purchase from Fasttech. Just shipped out with Sweden Post

Like Techno Pride said, they will use sweden post to deliver li-ion batts. Not free shipping but still cheap... was charged under US$2 for a pair of 18650 and two beam diffusers.

Be prepared for the wait. I ordered 11 Jan, still waiting.

Convoy S2+ UV 365nm 1x18650
Tank007 TK566 UV 365nm 1xAA
Tank007 E19 1xAA
Tank007 E09 1xAAA

not pictured above is a Tank007 TK703 set aside for circuit breaker emergency use. BTW, the TK703 and E09 are NOT water proof. Water will leak inside.

Well, I ended up throwing away the TK566. It was giving out a light which is dirty green, yucks, and not illuminating notes' security features.

The new UV torch is giving the correct purple tint. The security features on debit card and MAS notes really pop up. It's either the phone camera or me that's really bad at taking pictures in the dark....

I'm not sure why my picture editor did not cover the "C" word on the card. Using paint.net free software.

On a side note, I get the following effect when I shine my Tank007 E09 (low/medium mode) and E19 (medium mode) into my phone camera.

Is this evidence of PWM (pulse width modulation)?

Is your camera still alive? LoL.

These are three very different flashlights. It is not that hard to choose if you have saw their specification tables on Nitecore's site.

You will get warranty if you purchase from local authorized dealer.

I ordered all my Nitecores (TM16, EC4S, 2 Tubes) online from China, normally Banggood as you can get the MH20 for less than US$45 if you use some discount code available at BLF or CPF.

Caveat are you forego local warranty and you have to ship the light back to Nitecore China for repair and warranty works, and shipping can take between 2-3 weeks from China and might take much longer as CNY is around the corner.

For first time user, I would suggest buying from local store to safe you from future headache should any issue arise, but for regular flashlight users, we normally know what to look for, hence sometimes we gamble buying online for discounts, which can be a lot in some cases.

Anyone want to share buying 3 or 6 pieces of LG D1 18650 protected from Aliexpres? I don't need so many...

 

[kineticworks007]

Fyi, D1 is 4.35V 18650.

Yeah it's like only 2500 mah woth normal 4.2v charging. Then there's also the question whether the additional protection circuit board(s) will cut the charging off before reaching 4.35v.

 

[kandinsky]

Yay. Fasttech hoot for P12, ordered 11 Jan, arrived today. 25 days... Damage S$27 (US$18.25).

When purchasing from Fasttech, can separate the Li ion batteries and other gear.

Anyways, have just gotten a cheap Convoy s2+ from Fasttech. Looks good enough for me.

Convoy is the standard where other budget lights are compared with.
The bulld quality and finishing are top notch that other higher price lights can learn a thing or two from Convoy.
The owner of Convoy, Simon Mao is also a nice guy.
I've 2 Convoy S2+ in red and blue tubes and I also bought the short 18350 tubes for both of them.

 

[kineticworks007]

I have to disagree with this statement.

I have to disagree with this statement.

I was exaggerating too much, ain't I?
Just that the built quality of my S2+ is way much better than my BLF A6 built by Manker.

My Nitecores TM16 and EC4S also came with sloppy finishing, unlike some Fenix and ZL that I have
My point is that if Convoy S2+ that cost less than US$20 can have a nice built quality, why can't the Nitecore's that have RRP of US$200 can't be much better finished?

Glo-Toob AAA beacon light. I'm using this as a night light. It's actually red. I left this on before going to sleep on the low mode, the light was still on in the morning when I woke up.
