CREELIGHT25OFF

This is my first post here, so lmk if I am doing something wrong.
Just got an email from DX. I think most people on this site would be familiar with them.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39191
They're offering the above kit for only $9.99 USD, with the above coupon code.

Not too bad I think, the flashlight itself is worth the $10, think of the batteries and the charger as a freebie.
I've ordered a number of lights from DX in the past and have found them all to be reasonable quality and reliable, though I find their recent lights aren't as good as the ones I've purchased in the past (circa 2008)
Either way, it's $10, which is about $13 in Aussie dollars with the currently gimped Australian dollar.

Just purchased one myself.

edit: oh well looks like its sold out. For those that managed to order one, or a dozen, enjoy =)

    Not bad! I personally have used DX quite a lot, though on my last order, one of the items i had ordered was not in stock which caused a massive delay in my order. Im talking i got the order about 2-3 months later. Generally i get my stuff within two weeks.

    • inherentchoice on 25/05/2010 - 18:43

      In my experience they will omit that item and send you everything else with a note to say they're sending it later. I got the items in just over a week…

  • azkgtr on 25/05/2010 - 12:52

    im not sure if im doing the correct thing. I want to purchase 10 of these and i find that enabling the bulk rate coupon ends up being cheaper than the coupon above can someone else confirm this for me?

    • jlien on 25/05/2010 - 12:57

      Hmm, I just tried what you said.
      It appears the coupon only works for 1 of these. So you're seeing it cheaper because you're getting 10 at the bulkrate price of $11.76, whereas with the coupon, you're getting 1 at $9.99 and 9 at 13.30.

    • FloatingPoint on 25/05/2010 - 13:01

      This is because the coupon is a simply $3.31 discount no matter how many you buy.
      If you want to buy 10 I think it's best separate into 10 orders.

      • Horizon on 25/05/2010 - 14:03

        In fact, because there is no shipping discount for combining stuff, I always order everything on DX separately.

        This means if something is out of stock the other stuff is not held up.

        And if Customs gives one of the items the ಠ_ಠ the other stuff is not held up either.

        • covert on 25/05/2010 - 16:22

          I do the same. The dx points are the only thing you miss out on but there not worth much.

          • Trance N Dance on 25/05/2010 - 16:31

            @covert: dx points?

            • covert on 25/05/2010 - 21:19

              @Trance N Dance: I doubt you will read this but anyway.. DX points are a rewards system on DX. You can trade your point's for item's listed in the special point reward area for free or give them to helpful members in the forum. 1 point for each $10. So 7 items of $5 each in one purchase will give you 3 points ($35) but if those 7 $5 items where order individually you get 0 points.

        • BigglezThePigglez on 25/05/2010 - 16:47

          LOL i love the ಠ_ಠ's cheers for that!!

  • azkgtr on 25/05/2010 - 12:56

    ok my bad if you purchase 1 its $10USD more than one it reverts back to non discount pricing. a + for me anyway

    • jlien on 25/05/2010 - 12:58

      You can always just do 10 separate orders anyway :P Shipping is free after all. Still seems pretty wasteful in terms of packaging and needless freight.

      • dtrinh on 25/05/2010 - 14:14

        yeah, but don't your get charged an international fee per transaction by your local bank…so buying 10 items in one transaction will save you 9 fees…

        • uraha on 25/05/2010 - 17:19

          doesnt exist with paypal.. or does it?

        • pais on 25/05/2010 - 17:44

          Not all banks charge this, i.e. my Nab Gold Account doesn't.

        • inherentchoice on 25/05/2010 - 18:46

          For me the international fee is just a percentage… so it's the same if you use 10 x $10 or just $100… I thought that's how it works with most credit cards, no?

  • azkgtr on 25/05/2010 - 13:10

    yes that it what i am doing now. Doesn't take too long anyway

  • heathwithnoteeth on 25/05/2010 - 13:13

    i wonder if this works when buying everything? like the recent focal price stuff up, when everything could be bought for 50% off…

    • jlien on 25/05/2010 - 13:25

      It doesn't appear to, i've tried =P

  • Frantic on 25/05/2010 - 13:38

    Bought a $1 keyring flashlight off them.. worked for about 5 flashes then died.

    This torch is horrible…

    To unsuspecting crim's and other types…the range on these babies is unbelievable for the money! It outshines the distance of my maglite 4D-cell LED 3 to 1!

    As soon as I get home I'm ordering one!

      Don't get you, are you saying this is a good torch or bad?

        RTFQ He is stayting that it is horrible to unsuspecting crims and couples when you shine the torch and catch them in the deed.

        • TrendyTim on 26/05/2010 - 11:16

          It reads like it was written by one of the DX staffers :)

          • bendertiger on 27/05/2010 - 18:53

            @TrendyTim: LOL! Definately not mate!

            I'm becoming known as 'Mr. China' where I live, every cool gadget coming out of the place…I can hook anyone up with anything they want (almost). Just saying, if people open their minds we have been 'dudded' for too long! At the end of the day, alot of the products are functional, not finished to the same standard, but look past that and the stupidly low price they are made for and it's just amazing. Don't get me wrong, I still have ALOT of doubts about china and it's quality, but it is improving.

    • bendertiger on 25/05/2010 - 17:06

      I'll make it easier,

      It's a bloody good torch and your nuts if you don't buy one.

      Causing a drunk person to drop their booze at a range of 50m due to the fact it's so bright…has to be a good torch!

      • Trance N Dance on 25/05/2010 - 17:23

        HAHA!!!
        Um… I gotta get myself one now.

      • Matador_OZ on 25/05/2010 - 17:30

        Thanks that's much clearer…. If I see a guy running away from drunks at night, I will know is you

  • andrew229 on 25/05/2010 - 14:39

    this is a good value kit

    i have found their iphone/itouch cables to be good value
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.30390 $2.20
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.24296 $1.70
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29341 $4.01 charger + cable
    the above have all worked for my iphone, plus friends itouchs

    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34040 $2.63 car charger

    these two torches are both very bright and use 2 x AA batteries (NiMH or alkaline)
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13977 $21.30
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14909 $18.30

  • andrew229 on 25/05/2010 - 14:44

    i also agree with the above comment about not putting too much is one order
    due to 'out of stock issues'

    http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/top.sellers top sellers has lot of interesting ideas

  • reecho on 25/05/2010 - 14:51

    I would steer away from the single AA battery Cree torches as they can be unreliable at times due to not enough voltage (I have bought plenty from DX myself), unless you are prepared to spend on the 3.6V AA Cells (also available from DX).

    Search for the 2xAA type (usually with a small screw on extension), then you can use 2xAA's which have enough voltage to drive the Cree's.

  • morpheu on 25/05/2010 - 15:39

    the booster pcb on these is typically crummy, if you get this buy a 14500 cell & charger, way way brighter, battery is lower capacity but you're getting a small compact light in return

    • AmperSand on 25/05/2010 - 16:50

      That is a hugely irresponsible recommendation. I would never recommend a li-ion based cell chemistry to anybody that does not understand how to safely use it, and the dangers such a chemistry may pose to them.
      Moving from standard alkaline/nicad/nimh cells to li-ion and using them safely is a giant step to take, and should be done with all due care and consideration for ones personal safety, and safety of those around them.

  • tenzolt on 25/05/2010 - 16:59

    Just ordered one!!

  • theguyrules on 25/05/2010 - 17:41

    How do these compare to the Xtreem LED torches that Woolies sell?

    (serious question)

    • nfr on 25/05/2010 - 19:49

      The xtreem torch has many LEDs but they would not be as bright as the Cree Q4 in this DX torch.

  • Lazer on 25/05/2010 - 17:54

    Do I need to join Paypal to buy from Dealextreme or can I just enter my CC details upon checkout thru Paypal without actually joining?

  • effgee on 25/05/2010 - 19:18

    Its showing as out of stock, which at DX normally means "never to return"

  • testy8 on 25/05/2010 - 20:34

    I have two of these torches, or at least ones that look identical to it, bought from DX. Great little torch but both of mine have bad contacts and I needed to solder them to fix it. Before that they would intermittently switch off.

  • ol mate on 25/05/2010 - 21:03

    Can always walk into Jaycar and pick up basically the same thing for $10 more if you don't want to wait the 3-4 weeks worth of shipping.

      Jaycar one is 1/2 the lumens. Would be a different bin.

      • zagzzig on 25/05/2010 - 22:43

        And the price is $24.95

        • BigglezThePigglez on 26/05/2010 - 00:17

          and it has no charger, batteries, or even the cool belt holster!

          • covert on 26/05/2010 - 07:44

            @BigglezThePigglez: Just looked over the Jaycar torch's and none are in the same class (190 Lumens, Single AA housing)

            Personally I don't give a lot of value to the AA and charger in this deal. I have a similar torch from DX and run it on 14500 Lithium's. I already had a charger so it was not another expense for me.

            The trouble with DX torch's is once you start buying them you can't stop.

    • bitcoinorbust on 27/05/2010 - 18:45

      pfft jaycar full of overpriced crap

  • gerrys on 26/05/2010 - 12:14

    I got this CREE LED 200 lumens from Ebay only for AU$10 including shipping cost. It's using 3xAAAs battery and it's incredibly bright. I got Maglite 4D and it looks like P.O.S if compare side by side.

  • StrokeIT on 27/05/2010 - 19:40

    Back in stock…Just bought one!

    • BigglezThePigglez on 27/05/2010 - 22:26

      Thanks for letting me know mate,

      I just bought one also.

  • BigglezThePigglez on 09/06/2010 - 19:43

    Mine arrived today, thing is blody tiny and also not as powerful as i was expecting (is there anyway to focus the beam)

    Still managed to scare the sh!t out of two teenagers on my front lawn as i walked out there with it though.
