Hi guys, I figured you need a way to use all those eneloops.

Firstly regarding the price, gearbest does say it's normally 33USD, but I'm guessing that's a mistake, it's generally 50USD+ at Gearbest or competitors like Banggood. You can see on eBay as well, it's selling for 70AUD+.

About the flashlight:
It's a compact, waterproof flashlight featuring the latest LED technology. It's very efficient and well regulated (meaning it can maintain a constant brightness unlike cheap flashlights). Has a ton of features too (magnetic tailcap, shortcuts to ultra low and turbo mode, etc).

Battery formats supported:
1xAA - Better to use NimH batteries
1x14500 - 3.6v battery for more brightness
2xAA - You will need a separate extender available here: http://www.gearbest.com/diy-parts-and-tools/pp_195408.html

What you get in the package:
1 x Olight S15R
1 x 14500 rechargeable battery
1 x charging dock
Micro-usb, lanyard, o-rings, user manual.

There's so much more to this that I can't put it in this post. Refer to this review for more details: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?394246

If you intend to use it with AA, I would recommend you buy the battery extender. At 1xAA it's decent, but at 2xAA it's a very good performer. Or you can just use the included 14500 battery :)

  applied new registration $5 off coupon code and the cost of the items increased by more than $5. new subtotal is about a $1 more than without the coupon. dodgy :(

    That seems to happen frequently with the Chinese sellers and their coupons.

    Edit: Also can happen if you want to use points earned from previous sales.

    That's how GB works. The current sale prices are indicated as a percentage off the full price price. So when you go to apply an additional discount, it calculates it off the full price. The result is usually much higher with an added code. Annoying, I know.

    Yeah gearbest and their coupons are retarded. 99% of the time there's no point of applying them.

  Gearbest hasn't received the greatest reviews… has anyone had any direct experience with buying from them?

  • 

    Sidor on 16/09/2015 - 09:37

    yes, the torch I bought from them earlier has never arrived. And instead of giving me refund, they kept telling me to check my my local post office for 3 weeks. After 2 months of so, they finally refunded.

      Hi Sidor,

      I am sorry to hear about this situation.

      Is it your order send by free shipping without traking number?

      Acutually most orders sent with this service provider can arrive between 10 and 25 working days, but a few orders can be delivered up to 45-60 days after their dispatch . This is why we use 60 days to consider the package lost and offer the compensation on that date.

      For more shipping deadline time,please check here: http://www.gearbest.com/about/shipping-methods.html

      We advised that customer can add 1.99USD tracking fee when you order less than 40USD. Which can help you track the package online.

      Thanks for your attention.

      Best Regards
      Gina

  Price has gone down a little more, I grabbed two, will be awesome gifts to leave in the cupboard, I rock a S10 and S20 myself already

  mumbleman on 16/10/2015 - 21:47

  I got one of these looks great. I already have an s20 and love the magnet in the end. Very handy at work. No problems with gearbest at all. Took 3 weeks to get here.
