I'd just like to state the MSRP noted is the price point with additionally included accessories (chargers, etc...) therefore there isn't really a price drop here as drastic as alluded to as this drop foregoes the accessories included at the MSRP price point.

mcalibriI was about to join this drop when I saw your comment. The description does include the lanyard and holster in the pictures and text. Could you please clarify what else is missing, given the standard MSRP stated? Thanks!

josephk1311Hi Joseph,
Basically for the fuller MSRP price most retailers (Amazon and some others) are selling you: 1. 1 x Nitecore EA45S Flashlight 2. 4 x EASTSHINE EA23 2300mAh AA NI-MH Rechargeable Batteries 3. 1 x EASTSHINE EB144 Battery Case 4. 1 x I4 Charger 5. 1 x CA02 Car Adapter 6. 1 x Nitecore Holster 7. 1 x Lanyard 8. 1 x Manual 9. 1 x Warranty Card
-mind you half these items are negligible but when you factor in that part of the 92.95 MSRP includes a Charger and Adapter and generally 4xAA batteries the actual cost of just getting the flashlight, lanyard and holster is less than 92.95. The cost without the aforementioned is probably $70-$80 range. I'm not saying there's no discount (I opted into the drop aware of what I mentioned) but the discount isn't as substantial as the MSRP vs drop price would have us believe. I hope that helps. I think Nitecore's light is worthwhile for the price, but I know when I bought this EC4S which hits 2100 lumens max it came with a load of stuff and my expectation is that a sister light at that MSRP price point would include the same additional (charger, batteries etc...). The Nitecore website (not directly retailing in USA) doesn't do a perfect job of disclosing what price plus included items, it just lays bare light + holster + lanyard. I doubt if it was lossy that online retailers would be throwing in the above-mentioned for 92.95, so I must assume that the light, lanyard and holster cost less than 92.95 unpaired with the other additionals.

mcalibriHi mcalibri,
Thanks for a very quick and informative response. You're right about most of the bundle items being inconsequential (for me at least), as I plan to run the light with Panasonic Eneloop Pros and a BQ-CC17 charger. TBH, I have no idea about Eastshine, so I couldn't compare the quality of their batteries/charger/adapter with that of the Panasonics (which are very well reviewed). Will be joining the drop, though a 70-75 USD MSRP would be more indicative of what's actually being offered.
