Does use 4 x 18650 batteries, so you’ll need some of those and a charger (get a decent smart one).

  I can't believe how much output this has (bought one in previous deal). On max output it does get warm, so haven't left it at this level for too long, so don't know how this would go for roo spotting. My only wish is that it had somewhere for a wrist strap.

    Yes, I’d like somewhere to attach a lanyard too. I thought you could screw something into the tripod mount and attach one there.

        @norkle:

        I've all of the above solutions and tried them all and some.

        Screws with loops = too long (mine had 8.8mm stem)

        Button screw loop = still too long, but you can always a thicker rubber bushing. Or buy two take the rubber..

        Mini arca plates with loops. PD etc. For some reason I didn't like them on this torch.

        Hth.

    On the page you select your payment method. At the bottom there’s spot that says Enter Promotional Code.

      Thanks . I've only bought about 10,000 things online but for some reason I hadn't ticked use this address. Once I did the page came up with the spot for the code. Cheers

        Yeah, happened to me a few times. They all do it differently.

        Has This code expired?

  Is there anyway of maybe adding some cells to the order and getting the $20 first time user discount for purchases over $80?

  • 

    wfdTamar on 26/05/2018 - 17:36

    Cells? Do you mean batteries? Just don’t complete the checkout and keep shopping!

    • 

      tryagain on 26/05/2018 - 17:40

      Yeah, I meant batteries, just realised that the Amazon20 code is only for items actually sold by Amazon, not sold on Amazon by other sellers though.

        Nah, you meant cells. Batteries are made up of individual cells. An 18650 is a cell. A car battery has 6 x 2v cells making it 12v.

        True story.

  Thanks bought it added to the torch collection. Needed something to use my 18650s in.

  OhDaJoker on 27/05/2018 - 08:38

  Just bought one, thanks.
  New to torches and would like help/recommendations on where to buy 18650s and which charger.
  Have looked at a few but cannot figure out which would be better suited for high powered torches.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Cheers

    If you have a look in the chargers section of this forum (yes, it is a real forum)

    http://budgetlightforum.com/forum

    I’m no expert. I got a Nitecore charger. Batteries I have no idea which - brand name vs cheap generic. Other than to say I did start with generic and the buttons came off. You want the 18650’s the have buttons on top. eBay or aliexpress, that kind of source.

    Bought these about a year ago they were $24 then on sale now about $30. Banggood was the only place I could find that would send batteries to Aus.

    Fantastic company to deal with. I bought my batteries for this torch through TechAroundyou and they were able to do me a deal for multiple batteries when I messaged them with a super quick reply after the deal above ended. They also sell chargers for great prices.

  Are we able to get another coupon for this? I wanted to buy one but procrastinated too long!
