Here's an interesting (or controversial, depending on how you see it) post on Fstoplights' Facebook page;

"We have had 3 consecutive days of Nitecores' RMAs... seems like everytime you get a Nitecore there is a 1 in 10 chance it needs to be sent back to their factory for repair (based on 1 years data)"

I don't currently own any Nitecore lights, so it would be interesting to see what others think about this...

My MT2A been serving me for around 6mths so far ok. P20 only 2 days so far still ok. i think is see heng suay. All brands no matter how atas sure got lemon sets. But 1 in 10 is quite high.

Sometime i think it's worth to pay abit more and get from local retailers for a peace of mind. At least it's covered under warranty. My P20 has no warranty since banggood is not an authorised dealer for nitecore. I'm taking a risk for the saving for $30+.

Yeah, I'm with the idea that nothing is perfect and that things can happen which don't usually stem from anything the user has done (lemons/manufacturing defects, dead-defective-on-arrival sets, etc).

With regards to opting to purchase from unauthorised dealers or an official distributor/retailer; each has its own set of pros and cons:

Unauthorised dealer:
- Item is usually priced cheaper.
- However, it isn't usually covered by warranty.
- Depending on where the item is located, the shipping time and wait can often be dreadful if the dealer/website is based overseas and doesn't offer registered/insured shipping of the item (you know, the dreaded waiting or cat-and-mouse game with the folks at the post office).
- Shipping costs may also cost quite a lot (again, depending on where the item is shipped from).

Official distributor/retailer:
- Item tends to be on the pricier side; and warranty is included, so you'll have piece of mind in the event that anything is wrong with the item.
- Also, you'll tend to have a feel of the item if you visit the retail store before you commit to buying.
- Plus, you'll get the item there and then - instant satisfaction.

Again, it all boils down to each individuals' decision-weighing and risk-taking. Oh, and I believe that the above-mentioned list of pros and cons also apply to almost any other consumer products - from shoes to washing machines.

I own 3 nitecore lights. All no problems.

I guess you're one of the fortunate ones who have had no issues with your lights. Good for you!

Don't mind if I ask; where did you get your lights from?

Try get a nitecore battery to suit it. Else you can look for CEJ singapore. They don't have a website but have physical shop at Sultan Gate.

They do sell battery and charger similar to Nitecore types..


Time to go for a night walk. Macrithie is the best place to test the lights!!

 

[kineticworks007]

Seem like they no longer carry Nitecore. Cannot find anything from their site.

Agree. MacRitchie Reservoir is one of my favourite spot. climb up to the top of Jelutong Tower to test the light.

CEJ batteries are not cheaper than nitecore batteries. Nitecore 3400mah sell for 56sgd for 4 pieces last time at aliexpress when i bought. Now might be cheaper. CEJ selling at 96sgd for 4 pieces for 3100mah.

Got mine from nitecorelight.com.

 

[magnus]

They are selling everything at RRP. Fstop Lights pricing much better but problem is have to wait cos most of the popular items always out of stock very fast.

X-boundaries selling at above retail price. But 2 weeks ago i was there at their novena outlet and nitecore items were having 10% discount. On top of that if pay by citibank card have certain % of rebates. so price still lower than rrp after the discount.

To all: i have 20% discount code for these range.

enter code DARK31AUG14 upon check out.

Got mine from nitecorelight.com.
