MecArmy Illuminex .... (tiny flashlight), anyone?

N_N_R · **on:** December 12, 2015, 05:51:15 PM

Does anyone have any of these?

I'm seriously considering one.

Looks a lot like the Olight i7r, just shorter and uses a different battery, of course.

But you twist it, it comes on on low (which isn't really that low), you keep twisting and it bursts with 130 lumens. It can be charged via USB.

If I get one, it'll be an aluminium version because of the price... I could get a cooler version from outside my country, but with these outrageous prices (especially after the higher USD rates), I'm not willing to pay even more if it gets stuck in customs

Moreover, that's one weird hard-to-find here type of battery ... so I may have to shop for batteries, too on eBay x-)

dks · **Reply #3 on:** December 12, 2015, 07:20:29 PM

The price seems reasonable and they include the battery. They may be cheaper soon.

I would not worry about the battery availabilty since, unless you use it constantly, it should last for a few years. The light will probably die before the battery needs replacing.

N_N_R · **Reply #4 on:** December 12, 2015, 07:27:04 PM

Lol, thanks. I read somewhere that the light has a 5-year warranty, but now I can't recall where

They have the 5 year warranty , if I remember correctly, only if buy as a MecArmy. If you buy CooYoo or BlackWater I'm not so sure, but the price is much better.

Awesome! They're twice cheaper on that site than they're sold for here

What am I waiting for. lol

Where did you get them that cheap?

Oh, I didn't see the code, lol. But what site?

N_N_R · **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:02:32 AM

On the SPAMCORP site it reads that the battery isn't included, though

?

wtf, first in "Battery Quantity: 1 (not included) "

Then in "Package Contents: 1 x Blackwater Kite. AL Mini Flashlight, 2 x Spare O-ring, 1 x Stainless Steel Keyring, 1 x Beads Chain, 1 x 10180 Rechargeable Battery"

dks · **Reply #14 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:06:07 AM

SPAMCORP. I used the link provided by Gareth. They have the brand you mentioned and another one coyoo something, that was also mentioned. The coupon works at least on the one you mentioned.
I also tried to use the blf coupon but it was not working.

dks · **Reply #15 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:08:15 AM

I did not notice that.
I assume they mean that no extra battery is included, apart from the one in the light....

N_N_R · **Reply #16 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:10:04 AM

Yeah, as you pointed out, I can read

Hm.. but yeah, they mention that there is a battery included *twice*. And if no battery, that'd render the light useless for me

Until I order one from China again. Hm.

$18.69 .... you know how to get to my heart

I haven't completed my order yet, though. For some reason, I still have my doubts, lol

I was ready to spend $40 on it, buying it from BG and now I'm hesitating here

Even if I have to buy a battery separately, it'll still be cheaper

dks · **Reply #18 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:23:41 AM

Wait a bit, young reader.
I asked them, now, if the battery is included and I will let you know. They should reply in one day.

Oh, well. Thanks, but I already ordered one

Anyway, depending on their answer, I'll either order one separate one from eBay or not. On the other hand, if they can ship batteries separately, why can't they ship batteries with lights

N_N_R · **Reply #20 on:** December 13, 2015, 09:36:08 AM

dks, what colour did you get?

I got gray ..... usually the coloured aluminium looks nice, but in the pictures I didn't like the red & blue & gold ones.

dks · **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2015, 09:47:47 AM

Blue, but I may stop/change the order depending on whether the battery is included with this or the coyoo something brand.

N_N_R · **Reply #22 on:** December 13, 2015, 10:21:27 AM

Hmmm.... alright.

They seem to come in blister packaging, though, so in order to remove the battery, they'll have to destroy the package?

Or there would be some specially packed ones for this very site *crazy*

dks · **Reply #23 on:** December 13, 2015, 01:01:48 PM

I think the battery will be in the light, but I can not be sure.

N_N_R · **Reply #24 on:** December 13, 2015, 01:10:49 PM

Well, I've received some Fenixes with batteries in blister packs, so... let's hope.

I missed your comment. Yeah, I see. Well. Even if I bought MecArmy, let's say, and the light went bad.. it would've been too much of a pain to send back or do whatever for them to repair it. So, in either case I'd (have) hoped the light to work well.

I just ordered a gray one.

Thanks for making me spend money.

ok, DKS, haven't they answered your question yet? I'm not even sure what "tomorrow" looks like there, lol

dks · **Reply #29 on:** December 14, 2015, 08:13:41 AM

Not yet, I will have to wait for China to wake up first.
My order is still marked as "Processing"
