Hi everyone,
This is my first post on CPF but I was lurking around for some time now. Great board I must say! (Although I didn't know people could make such a buzz about flashlights /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/huh.gif)
Originally I was looking for an EDC flashlight and quickly decided to get an ARC AAA after reading the LUMMIE AWARDS and a couple of other threads. (Well actually I started looking for a handy, tacticalish FL like Walther offers them here)
But since I'm easily attracted by all kinds of electronics, well crafted tools and other geekish stuff, I could not stop and spent major parts of the last two days (and nights) reading CPF and related sites like 'flashligthreviews'.
Long story short: I now want the AAA and a Pelican M6 LED and maybe an Infinity Ultra just because it looks so cute (the images make me want to grab it right from the screen).
There are a couple of places (online) where I can get the ARC here in Germany but either they don't have the M6 LED at all or they charge more than $110,- (99,- EUR) for it. The cheapest Pelican (called PELI here ) I found was the incan version for EUR 50,-.
Any european flashaholics here who know where to get the latest light toys at decent rates on this side of the pond?
I'm about to order from Batterystation because they have great CPF special offers and cheap lithium batteries (hard to get for a decent price in europe) but I'm not sure about how VAT/Tax is handled (VAT is 16% here and customs charge a fee, too). International shipping is $8,- if I remember correctly from another post, isn't it?
Thanx
Apu
