Pretty awesome deal I think. May be selling at a loss too.

It's been a while but mine just arrived in the mail.

I'm not the best to review this because I've never had a decent flashlight but.... this thing is AMAZING!

It's bright enough to light up a building 50m away. It even has a BEAM! Beam density is similar to a 10mW greenie, just much wider.

Measured 150mW on my Ophir with an external lens and the sensor probably got only 20-30% of the light. I'd say this is 500-1000mW.

Only con so far is that the tail clicky doubles as mode changer. It could really use a separate button.

FastTech listed a bunch of Crelant flashlights. Cheapest I've ever seen them, I picked up a few different ones :D

Found 9 crelant at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Use coupon code BLF for an additional discount.

Unfortunately, not anymore, since Crelant has complained about the MAP pricing.

"This product is no longer available: the manufacturer claims that FastTech did not comply to their minimum advertised price (MAP) policy. Prior to listing this product, FastTech proactively checked with the manufacturer's official distributors and was NOT informed of any MAP policy/agreement. We are no longer carrying this product due to unclear distribution practices, policies and requirements."

Huh.

Well that sucks.

I have MAP pricing policies. Hopefully they will take the same route as with Nitecore, and use a PRICECONTROL ;)

Really hope they don't cancel my order... gonna be a bit ticked if they do. Only two flashlights, but still.
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

Sounds like Crelant is a little butthurt....
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

Yup.

I think crelant is a great brand at the lower budget level, but they have a long way before they can compete with companies like fenix, clarus, nitecore, etc, on higher end lights.

Their 7G10 is a letdown, but priced as a premium light. For my money they BS Terminator or the Fenix TK75 are better options.

XD it's really hard to focus it on the sensor. Will try again later with a larger lens!
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

It is hard to do it on a TEC style LPM, but if you use an external lens to focus the light into a less divergent beam, then it gets much easier. Time to remeasure my Crelant.

I forgot to let everyone know: it has NO regulation as I suspected. It just passes the whole battery voltage though a FET for high-mode, and PWMs for low-mode.

Do you think that will lower it's life?

If it's a true direct drive at high mode, some low internal resistance IMR cells might fry it. However, this is very rare, as I've read about only two cases of this.

However, it won't be a problem if you use regular cells, and you probably won't notice it. A couple thousand hours of life minus 30% is still a long life span :angel:
