Emisar D3AA Titanium Copper with sw45k, RGB button, and tailmagnet
outbound.jpeg

pros
Great LEDs, Great UI, Great multi fuel AA/14500 driver

cons
TiCu is just too heavy for my liking. The RGB button is always off when main LEDs are on, I prefer a solid Amber button, that always comes On w the main LEDs. Tailmagnet is too weak for the weight of the light. Not a fan of the pocket clip

why let it go?
Im reducing my flashlight inventory and am focused on Low carry weight.. My new MAO TS10 is Dominating in the lightweight class.

what do I have that will fill a similar role
Emisar D3AA Aluminum w DeDomed 4500K 519a.. really like the light weight, AA capability, Amber button, and the nice strong magnet

What do I get to buy next
Wait a minute! youre supposed to be ReDucing Inventory, not RoTating new inventory… (who am I kidding.. that is exactly what Im doing.. lol)

Out with the Old, In with the New.. ;-)

I like this post format.

I think this is a really great conversation. I see some lights up for sale, and just sometimes wonder why people are letting them go.

It's often good to hear someone's thoughts, because "one man's trash is another man's treasure," and hearing what didn't work for something can often tell you so much more than hearing what DID work for them.

I hope this turns into a long thread.


Also, I'm a gun guy, so my motto is, "No sell, only buy" hahahaha.
When I run out of space, I just give things away to (mostly) family, haha.

HAHA or build onto the property. (ya sort it out in the will...rather "they" sort it. ) LOL
Just keep telling them "they" cost just this side of the GNP. LOL

kinda fun actually ;-)
I'm so very new to all this. And love the fact that not just color (cold, cool, warm, hot) but hue is a thing. Long gone are the sad 'blue' LEDs looking for some sort of distance. LOL Tho I seem to prefer warm white, or even warmer (some manus seem to fudge the color defs)
Even the 'green/blue' is beautiful.

This is actually why I've been rotating back to Malkoff, so I can just get a bunch of dropins, and not have QUITE so many lights around.

We won't talk about the drawer of headlamps...
 
Haven't sold much. Nobody likes what I have for sale. I should keep buying what the op buys. All his sales go quick like a bunny. Including what I purchased from him. In any event…

Pros:
arkfeld- nifty color scheme. Selector switch. Form factor. Brightness for the size
Original seeker- battery life. Built in charging. Aftermarket battery can fit but it's picky.

Cons:
Arkfeld- non replaceable battery. Long hold from lockout to on. Anodizing wears too easily.
Seeker- proprietary battery. Size. Slow charging.

Why am I letting it go? New arkfeld on the horizon. Seems a must have replacement especially because of the non replaceable battery. No anodizing to wear off. Slight boost in power and battery life.
Original Seeker- too old. Newest generation has lots of upgrades: battery life, power, efficiency, throw, charging options. Plus I still have another i need to get rid of.
What's next: arkfeld ultra, seeker 4 pro
 
not all my sales go quickly, sometimes I have to lower the price to make a light move.. I had to take a $20 loss to sell the Emisar TiCu D3AA in the first post.

Other times Im not willing to lower the price, so they do not sell ;-)
Recently I listed several Jetbeam and Sunwayman Rotaries, none of them sold. And Im not willing to lower the price on those, so they are still mine.

bottom line is lights only sell quickly if they are priced at a discount
