    Bought one. Cool.

    Sounds weird that I received an email from tmart with this subject:
    "Congrats, we have received your payment for order"

    This is not the first time. Last time I received:
    "You are a lucky dog! Category discounts for you valentine date ONLY 48 hours."

    Really? Calling the customers a dog? I will accept the idiom to be called by my good mates. But not by a company…

  • mycosys on 29/03/2013 - 20:57

    Pity it is so big - close 2ce the size of the 14500 battery in both directions, Seemingly (width at least) seems to be cosmetic. It is as big as a lot of 18650 torches. If it were smaller i would jump on it, but the only reason (for me) to choose a 14500 torch over an 18650 torch would be size.
    REALLY want to find a cheap, AA battery sized blinder torch for my fiancee's keyring, if somebody knows one lol.

    • terlalu on 29/03/2013 - 22:15

      For a keyring, better off with a AAA.

    • Russ on 30/03/2013 - 00:04

      Here is the one I keep on my keyring: http://dx.com/p/44962
      It's about $20, stainless steel body, easy to attach a keyring to. Five modes, plenty bright on high mode, but being stainless steel it's a little on the heavy side. I've had it for a year, and the case is still bright and shiny, no scratches (unlike the aluminium-cased torch it replaced).

      Whether it adds significantly to the weight of your keyring depends on how many keys are already on your keyring. Size is good, same length as a car key, and the diameter is small.

  • Skeppy on 29/03/2013 - 20:57

    Just grabbed one. Always handy to have a little LED torch for whatever situation.
    $4 is absolutely worth it, especially for a reliable LED brand like Cree.

    Why would you not pay $1.55 more for something like this:

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3W-200-Lumens-CREE-Q3-LED-Flashli…

    Which has:

    • Waterproof (probably only light drizzle but better than nothing)
    • 3 Modes (high brightness/low brightness/flash)
    • Adjustable zoom for light focus

    This is a genuine question as I'd like to buy a torch, just don't know which one.

    • Russ on 30/03/2013 - 00:30
      +1

      The same flashlight that you found on Ebay is 61 (US) cents cheaper at Tmart:
      http://www.tmart.com/Q3-3W-High-Power-Adjustable-LED-Flashli…

      Seriously, if you are looking for a flashlight, there are five main things to consider:
      - what type of battery (many use lithium batteries, some AA, 1xAAA, 3xAAA)
      - whether you want zoom (usually makes the torch significantly thicker)
      - whether you want one, three, five or more modes
      - what the case is made of (aluminium or stainless steel)
      - do you want it blindingly bright (XML LED) or just usefully bright

      No matter which options you choose, there is almost certainly a flashlight which meets your specification. However, there are a few combinations that don't exist, like XML LED and single AA/AAA battery.

      Also, I recommend you get a torch with a proper "clicky" switch at the tail end. Some of the cheaper torches have a twist-to-turn-on action, and it just isn't as nice.

      • fufufu on 30/03/2013 - 01:26

        I see. thanks.

        But from the dimensions given the more expensive torch with zoom is only 0.43 inches (around 1cm?) longer and same width. I wouldn't say that is significantly longer/thicker.

        Both of the torches are aluminium so I'm guessing SS is better and more expensive?

        Lastly, the torch you linked doesn't actually say CREE anywhere. As I understand it Cree is on of the best LED manufacturer but only Cree makes order codes named Q3? So if it's a "Q3 torch" the LED component is made by Cree or are there lots of counterfeit LED components?

        • Russ on 30/03/2013 - 02:31
          +1

          I meant that zoom versus non-zoom has a significant difference in diameter. Both of the torches you are comparing are zooms. Non-zoom AA torches CAN be quite thin, I have one that is 21mm diameter. I also have a zoom AA torch which is 30mm diameter, quite large. Even my Sipik SK68 clone (25mm) looks "fat" beside the 21mm diameter torch.

          Black-coloured aluminium torches don't stay black very long, particularly if you keep the torch in your pocket with your keys or coins. Uncoloured aluminium scratches and will show wear too. Stainless generally looks brand new all the time, but it is more expensive, and heavier too. Cheapest I ever bought was $13.

          The TMART torch that I linked to is almost certainly the same torch that you found on Ebay, with the same LED. Unlikely there would be counterfeit CREE Q3 LEDs around, counterfeiters would more likely target LEDs with a price premium, like the XML LEDs.

          Also, just because a torch has a CREE LED, doesn't always make it good. It is also important that the LED is heat-sunk well, as too much heat will shorten its life dramatically. Some torches are poor in this respect, and many of the zoom torches are culprits here, as they often move the LED to achieve the zooming.

          Having more than one mode is an important thing too. Torches with only one mode are usually run at full power, and when run at full power, after ten minutes such torches will often be too hot to hold comfortably. Also, at full power, you will usually have a battery life of about an hour. Having a 3-mode or 5-mode torch will still give you the option of full power when you need it, but lower-power options for less heat and longer running time.

        • fufufu on 30/03/2013 - 10:59

          Great read. Thanks for the reply.

      • Aids on 30/03/2013 - 01:47

        Twisty is a feature to cut down on length, not exclusively a cheap option.

        • Russ on 30/03/2013 - 02:41

          True.

          Twisty exists in both the very cheap torches, and I have also seen it in $40+ full-feature torches (with multiple modes, dimming and programmability).

          However, it still makes it harder to use the torch, particularly with one hand, and almost impossible if you are wearing gloves.

  • dreamscene on 29/03/2013 - 23:41

  • DiscountDevil on 30/03/2013 - 00:05

    Weird, when I put through the order I added the discount code and the discounted price showed up, however when I clicked on submit the final price I got charged was the full price (AU$6.92). My paypal account seems to confirm this. Is there any way that I can cancel the order and do it again? I've sent through an email to the support team. Hopefully someone gets back to me soon.

    EDIT I've also gone through the "Express Services Center" as suggested in the Help Center. There is an option to "Request a refund for unshipped item(s)" however it doesn't allow me to specify the quantity of "1" in the dropdown list of the item I'm trying to get a refund for.

    • Savvy on 30/03/2013 - 00:30

      Bernie. Are you sure you got charged full price? I just placed order and Order total = AU$3.95 in red but attached summary says total = AU$6.92 which makes sense cause it is amount before coupon. Paypal receipt equates to $3.95 too. Unless there is a glitch in your order. If all hell goes wrong you have 45 days to open a dispute with paypal. For $3 diff :P…not worth in IMO

      • DiscountDevil on 30/03/2013 - 00:49

        Yeah thanks mate, I double checked it all and my paypal was definitely saying AU$6.92. I was finally able to get the Express Services Center to accept my refund request through lots of fiddling with the interface and since I was feeling wild and dangerous I put in a new order and tried the coupon again. The second order went through correctly with a total of $3.95. Hopefully the first order cancellation request gets accepted and I don't end up with two torches at my doorstep. The things I do for a bargain at 12:30 in the morning!
