Spotted this on clearance at the Notting Hill(Vic) store last night and bought one to test out if it was any good(In my experience, Arlec brand products can be hit or miss) before sharing as a deal. At least 15 remaining on the shelf.
Available in-store only but looks to be nationwide, indicative store stock can be checked on Nrby.in
A cheap alternative to the popular Wuben F5 at almost a third of the price.
Comparing specs between this and the F5:
✅Higher max lumens (700LM vs 500LM)
✅4 different Colour temp outputs (6500K, 5500K, 4500K, 3500K) vs 5700K,4500K,3000K)
✅Comes with a free tripod
⛔Battery capacity 3k mAh vs 5k mAh
⛔No built in magnet(but there is a stand that is quite useful for propping up)
Other notes:
- Also charges using USB-C (there were a few other models on the shelf that looked to be still using Micro-USB so this is a worthy update- FYI, it's USB-C input only, not to discharge(that has to be from the USB-A port)
- Battery bank functionality(though will be less useful due to the lower battery capacity of the unit)
- I'm very pleased with it considering the price. It doesn't feel cheap(can't compare to the F5 as I don't have one) and intend on going back today to grab another one spare to bring out camping next time.
10:20am - Product page is back up again for me but regardless, it's in-Store stock only so I'd suggest checking nrby in the first instance to see if there is any reported around you before going in to scout it out(they're in the electrical section next to all the floodlights and lighting gear)
Bonnyrigg Bunnings had 4 packaging left. The sad story is none off them had the LED light. Somone must have stolen them.
