gearbest had this on flash sale for 28.99$/26.46 € without battery ...
for battery Panasonic ncr18650b 2pack made in japan from amazon for 23.90$/21.93€
total price 52.89$ with an extra battery vs 62.99$ from massdrop or 58.99$ after 20 purchase
TiansYou cannot use any flat top or unprotected battery in this light since they will be too short. The lumintop battery is just the Panasonic NCR with a new wrap and an built in protection. you will also get a nice leather sheath with this.
TiansSo does the Flash light...Massdrop did not make anything in this drop...
What I mean is there are two version of this light.
One with leather sheath and 3400 protracted lumintop label wrapped Ncr18560 battery.
One with a lower quality nylon sheath and no lumintop battery.
the battery + nice sheath will worth a round 15-20 dollars.
The leather sheath is one of the best flashlight leather sheath I ever handled...
The nylon one is just...you know...a nylon one....
Rebuswindall i know and found is Lumintop Prince had leather sheath which is this drop and the one i get from gearbest
and Lumintop Prince Mini which is the one with nylon sheath
they are two different model
TiansBTW, I don't know when did you get yours on gearbest since they no longer have the version with leather sheath and battery.
The only version they have is the one with nylon sheath and no battery. The leather sheath one always comes with a battery.
Banggood does have the leather sheath version but it is more expensive than massdrop.
TiansThis the one i was talking about...no leather sheath and no battery......I can get this one on Amazon for 44 USD and two day free shipping to my door.....
TiansThis drop has leather sheath and battery, only 42 dollars...I have got my updated LED one on amazon...It cost me two days waiting and 44 USD.
This drop is still a good deal...
If you want the nylon sheath version, buy it on gear best will save you about 2 bucks....but you need to wait for 20 days to get it...I'd rather get it on amazon...2 dollars for 18 days...it's worth it.
Rebuswindi had no idea where you see gearbest have nylon sheath, i got it from gearbest and it is leather
even the product description say
With quality clip and leather holstertake a look at customer review they all receive it with leather sheath
no battery ,yes
its was not on sale atm so it's not that cheap
23Weeks ago this drop was 58.99$, i had no idea when will the next drop and how much it will cost
From AMAZON,
naa it does not include Battery, so it is 44$ for the light and another 20+$ for reliable battery
Accessories: 2 x O-ring, Holster (NO BATTERY)
TiansYou are right, I'm sorry. The Holster for the updated LED version changed to nylon..
However, the Old 1000 lumen one is still with Leather sheath. but it is just not cheaper than amazon or massdrop...that is the whole point I want to bring.
That being said. I had no idea this drop was 58.99 back then. You had good point at that time. It was my fault to think otherwise.
The updated LED came with this sheath...
Rebuswindhmm is kind of weird when they advertise leather sheath but send one with nylon, should be assembly error on lumintop side as on the original lumintop site
total price 52.89$ with an extra battery vs 62.99$ from massdrop or 58.99$ after 20 purchase
