$22.69 actually

$22.69 actually

Yeah, I believe it was gearbest. No secret, just the listed price I found while browsing their site. Nice price on the M22 as well. That thing used to be around $90!

Yeah I found it and ordered. Hope that site is legit. I haven't heard of that website before.

It was new to me a few months ago. I wouldn't worry, they've been pushing a TON of product thru this site alone.

I placed my first order 10/15/15 and my last tracking update said it arrived in the US yesterday. So I'm hoping by Fri to have my package. I consider 2 weeks delivery from China pretty fast. And yes the site is www.gearbest.com

I've got some more waiting to do. But my $14 quadcopter from them is arriving Friday!! LOL that should be some fun.

$22.69 seems like quite a deal. It seems the only question is when and if it will actually arrive to your house. I'm going to try my luck. Never ordered from gearbest before.

Well I ordered on Tuesday so we'll see what happens. So far it's STILL in the processing stage after about 4 business days.

Mine took 5 days to process. But shipping took 10 days.

Not too bad so it should ship tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest hopefully. Thanks for that.

Thanks for sharing your review. I just placed 2 ordered online from banggood. Cheers!

How's the reliability on these? Any problems? And standby current draw? Is it a problem, how long does it take to discharge an 18650?
Thank you.

These were on sale and I ordered 7 of them, in separate orders, the more I thought about it. One didn't work :thinking:. They did ALL arrive though. 2+3+2 =7, -1 =6. Nice compact, neutral tint, single 18650 with a magnet. Good UI too.

What about the standby draw? That is one of my issues with my Nitecores PD11 and EC25 (love them both but their high standby draw is very inconvenient).

I like that Olight actually lists this. Most manufacturers do not. <15uA. That's really good.

Excellent, thank you!

IMO, is value for the money, you can't complain much for the price tage.

I got 4 of them for $25 each, free shipping ..... I can't figure out why they are so cheap? The UI is great, the switch is fine, the body is ok, not very flashy but it's fine. Best bang for the buck that I've found.
