Product Description
Small flashlights make great sidekicks on the trail, in the garage, or during a power outage. The Klarus RS16 is defined by its small form factor and impressive output (500 lumens and 155 meters on high mode with a 16340 battery) Read More
ElkyThey for some reason include the lithium battery, which legally can only be shipped and handled certain ways. This causes the price to go up, they could sell more units just by not sending a lithium ion battery and letting people put what they can buy locally into the light.
so... shipping to Canada is $35.00? ($44.50 Canadian funds)
I wanted to join this drop, but not for this ship cost... Is there an error in ship charge ?

TAGGThis must ship with a complimentary brick.??
Seriously though, I'm guessing it might have something to do with the lithium ion battery, that precludes the use of a more basic shipping tier.
Bonus hidden Easter Egg feature!
Just carrying it around in a pocket, it turns itself on, at High intensity, and becomes a thermonuclear heat exchanger!
Which says a lot about the battery and run-time, I suppose, but it's never cold here, so that feature isn't useful for me.
Anyone know a simple way to lockout the (protruding) clicky switch?
SpecialEdUnfortunately the common method (and I HATE this method) is to turn the tailcap 1/4 turn so that it breaks contact. It's referred to as tailcap lock-out.
It works, but makes activating the light a 2-step, 2-hand process.
If you like lights, and want to find some amazing alternatives. r/flashlight over on Reddit is an amazing community.
aremihcMore like a full turn plus a half-turn to break contact, so 2 full turns for certainty.
I'm aware of the flashlight forums...I can't afford to visit them, but thanks for the suggestion (free sample).
I'm not really worried about that.
We trust micro USB for the vast majority of our electronics. Almost all phones, aside from iPhones, use micro USB. The connectors go through literally thousands of cycles of plug in, plug out, and also undergo a lot of related stress, but still function fine.
I think the same connector would work fine on a EDC flashlight.
WikiCopterOh, I'm not worried about durability. It's the potential for water infiltration and needing to deal with a stopper or seal that I see as an additional issue
I googled this model and first thing I saw was that this is a discontinued model. Why? What's wrong with it? Why not drop the latest and greatest as opposed to try get rid of excess stock here...
it-manThis is just my 2 cents worth but I believe most manufacturers will discontinue a model when a new(er) model comes out. It may not necessarily have anything wrong with it. If was around $100, to me that would be a deal killer. The market appears to be flooded with flashlights right now. China is a major player in this market as well. Prices vary from one extreme to the other.
