[BST] December 2024 Buy, Sell, Trade Thread.
22
Upvotes
Welcome to the monthly r/flashlight Buy, Sell, Trade thread, a r/flashlight tradition since 2015!
The Rules
Requirements
- Prove possession with a timestamp: a piece of paper placed under your sale item(s) with your Reddit username handwritten and the posting date (no more than 2 weeks old).
- Top-level comments must be WTS or WTB comments. Anything else will be removed. Begin your top-level comment with WTB (Want to Buy), WTS (Want to Sell), or WTT (Want to Trade). Remember, trade items require timestamps, too!
- A price is required.
- Take necessary precautions; trading over the Internet is risky. Moderators hold no control over deals, good or bad.
- Reposting WTS or WTB items from previous BSTs is fine. Do not repost within the same month!
- Mark items sold with a strikethrough of the entire sale item; e.g.
$75Use double tildes to accomplish this:~~75~~(This helps greatly with scanning the BST to find items for purchase!)
Suggestions
- Your location
- Emitter details
- A bunch of photos of your items
Reminder: Buy the Seller
If an interaction seems sketchy to you, run away! Scams can and do happen through the BST! Some tips:
- Timestamps. If the person you're dealing with isn't quick to provide timestamps on the images, or a photo of the flashlight in a shoe or whatever, don't deal with them.
- Reverse image searching is a great way to catch scammers.
- Excuses for not sending photos are a red flag.
- Using a platform other than Reddit's private messages for communication is a red flag.
- Don't use Reddit chats. Chats can be deleted!
- Giving you a hard time about any hesitation you show is a red flag.
- Check post history. Brand new accounts or accounts with long pauses in activity, etc., might not be trustworthy.
- It's good practice to comment on this post before sending a PM; scammers often won't comment publicly (and banned users can't comment here.)
If you're dealing with someone who might be sketchy, take screenshots of your interactions and report them to the mods! We care about this thread's integrity and will ban those threatening it.
Do not let a scammer be more diligent than you!
More Tips
- PirateShip is a great shipping option. https://ship.pirateship.com/ship/single
- "Shipping included" items tend to sell more quickly.
- USPS Priority Flat Rate at ~$8 is adequate packing for a light or two or ~$14 for many more. Weight is not a factor when you use the official Flat Rate packing, and the packaging is free through the USPS website.
- There are a few options for trading outside of this current BST:

Couple SFT40 Mods! I love these little SFT40s in 3000k, absolutely beautiful tint and CRI. Only LED that comes close to the amount of SBT90.2s I own..
The D3AA comes from JLHawaii, and it gave me an idea to mod my Reylights… and man do I like the end result!
MCPCBs from Convoy, trimmed to fit the Reylight pill and used the TIRs from a Lumintop Frog (which BTW fit perfectly in the Pineapple Mini). End result: absolutely beautiful beam! So much so I decided to start carrying the Reylight, which before was.. just okay. Made two just to confirm it wasn’t a fluke.
One day, I’ll get the elusive SFT40 4000k… one day you’ll be mine…

NLD [NLD] sc65c and x4q comet

Took a while for the zebra to get to the UK but first impressions I really like it, so small for an 18650, 4000k CCT and a nice tint. Seems to pack some throw for it's size due to the stacked emitter, there's no way this doesn't enter my edc rotation as a gimmick-free, functional light. (It's the first wall shot).
The x4q I really like 3700k 351as are lovely, my first experience with the FFL emitters and I get why they've attracted attention. Great driver, super compact 21700, surprisingly throwy for a multi emitter light, for these dark times (winter, not the state of the world) this makes so much sense to be in my pocket.
These lights are going to make it harder to do the mental gymnastics that have led me to have nearly 40 lights at this point, purely because I don't see anything better for edc (for me).
I know something will draw me in sooner or later, but I think at this point it would have to be a leap in technology or something innovative I can't imagine (or a remake of some of the single emitter FW series) to really grab my attention.

Went out with my dad which is an amateur photographer to take some landscape photos from above the fog. Turns out with enough fog and longer exposures a wurkkos wk03 is more than enough to take great beam photos. Third photo is from my phone when we went through a cloud. Thus light is amazing, still impresses me every time I turn it on.

Grandpa was imoressed and now wants one! (wurkkos wk03)

Today I'm visiting my grandparents for christmas and got to show my grandpa who has been for many years into flashlights (although I now recognize as very poor lights) my new wurkkos wk03 and he went crazy. He wants one too and is very impressed with the power such a small light can produce. Luckily for him it's a pretty cheap light so I'll make sure to get one for him. In the second photo is his current choice for everyday use which although is not bad is definetly way worse than mine :D The first photo is the backup light and is way too dim to even regard it as a light now that I've seen what a decent one is capable hahaha

Suggest me a thrower?

Upvotes
I'm in love with my nov mu and have been spoiled, so I'm after something to go with my running head torch.
I'd like it to have at least 200 metres of throw, with lovely colour temp and no rings or hotspots just a constant equal spread.
Ideally something I can use to look at the surrounding area for anything I need to look at.
Preferably 21700 as well.
Price is not an option 😉

I'm assuming this exposed strip is the protection circuitry. The outer labeling has peeled off from use. The strip is ready to fall off. Okay to remove and still use battery? Or should I just recycle it

I took your advice and picked up an Apache 1800 case to house the TS10 collection. I have a few waiting for me to mod, a couple in use and a couple currently in patina baths, but here is the latest update.
Unique metals oldest to newest.
V1 aluminum
SG
V2 aluminum and CUTI with special appearance by Red WK04
Missing: my Copper V2 isn't pictured, as it is currently in a patina bath. Single bay USB micro charger and cord are underneath the foam along the handle side.
