<snip> "Magic self adhesive cloth" What ever the hell that is??

Sounds like a loin cloth for a trannie....

 

The orange baton is a $50+ item and that loin cloth...depending on how big it its is $10 to $25.

Got my mystery box today, They sent me an orange Baton 4 and a "Magic self adhesive cloth" What ever the hell that is??

I never heard of that before but did a search and it looks like a lot of people are using it to wrap telephoto lenses and other stuff they don't want covered in dust. I see some definite 2A applications if this is what you got. Or a "tucking" application if you cross dress.   And I got another bonus credit. Thanks. You can have it if you want. I think it's only good for 2 weeks and I don't plan on buying anything right now.

I had a Regal Blue Baton 4 before I got the Baton 4 Fighter Pilot - Premium with a charging case. The Premium costs $40 more than the light alone when they aren't on sale. I got the first light on sale, then the second one with the case on sale later. They have a Charging Case for Baton 4 for $39.99 in Black only. I would recommend buying one if they have a good sale on it or it's part of a DIY bundle for 40% off.

Features

     Multi-functional Companion: Powered by a 5000mAh battery, the case can fully charge the Baton 4 flashlight 5 times, giving the flashlight a max runtime of 190 days. It can also charge your mobile devices for emergencies with its USB-C port.

     All Things Done With A Press: The digital display button on the case shows the remaining power; just press the button to light up the flashlight directly, and long press to achieve stepless dimming, allowing simultaneous charging and lighting in your hand.

     Home For Six Lights: The case is fully compatible with Baton 4 and Baton 3 and supports storing and charging the S1R II, Perun Mini, Perun 2 Mini and Perun 3 Mini.

When I put my Baton 4s in the case they have stepless brightening, and dimming when you hold the button again, all while the light is in the case. And when I put my Baton 3 in, it does the same thing. The Baton 4 won't fit in the Baton 3 case, but some of the older lights this size will. The Baton 3 case is a little smaller and I have a belt holster for it. The tailor-made wireless charger features a built-in 3.6V 3500mAh battery and can charge the Baton 3 up to 3.7 times. Notice: USB-C Charging Cable is included. It looks like they quit making the Baton 3 but still have the charging cases, in Black only, for 10% less than the Baton 4 case that does so much more. They don't make a holster for it, not yet anyway, so I attached the lanyard to mine. The Fighter Pilot Baton 4 looks good with a blue clip on it so I replaced the gold one that was on it with one I previously put on my blue Baton 4 to replace the silver clip. I put the gold clip on the blue Baton 4 for now, but may buy another blue clip later. The gold clip looks good with the silver bezel and button, so I may keep it this way.

I ordered a Shadow Dune i3T EOS Small Flashlight Sunday. I didn't want to miss out on my free gift, and I did want to use the few bucks I had in rewards. Since this is the i3T EOS, and not the i3T 2 EOS, it just takes a AAA battery, and you're not supposed to put a 10440 lithium cell in it. The i3T 2 comes with an included AAA battery which gives it 200 lumens, but you can also use a 10440 Li-ion battery, which can boost the maximum output up to 300 lumens. This one is just 180 lumens, and 5 on low. It's still twice the lumens of the i3E EOS Keychain Flashlight, which is 90 lumens, with no high and low.

The keychain flashlight s supposed to last 45 minutes with an alkaline battery. The 180 lumen light will only run 21 minutes on high, but 16 hours on low. The 200 lumen light is supposed to run 21 hours on low, 5 extra hours on the same battery in the same size flashlight. And it will run for 7 minutes at 200 lumens before cutting down to 100 lumens and running an additional 28 minutes. Compared to the i3T, the 2nd generation gets 31% more battery life, and 71% more runtime in High mode. They optimized the circuit to ensure its surface temperature is less than 113 degrees even during long-time work. It's a better light all around, but the gen 1 had this cool camo pattern and I wanted it. I hope my Christmas gift is the Stars & Stripes Edition, or the Summer Palm. I already have a couple of the 18th Anniversary Editions, and they don't look as good to me a the other 2.

Hey, PegLeg, I have a Yellow Diamond early access card for you that's good until the end of the year. You'll be able to get the same deals I do for 24 hours. If you don't want it, it's up for grabs. One thing they had was a Baton 4 Premium flashlight with charging case for 50% off. It was a limited edition Splashed Ink - Laser Engraved White Teflon model, but it already sold out. It's a better deal than I got on my Fighter Pilot Premium Baton 4, but I didn't want another Baton 4. I already have a Regal Blue Baton 4 to use with the charging case, and 2 of them, plus the other lights I can charge in the case is enough.

My Shadow Dune i3T EOS Small Flashlight came this afternoon. The picture on the box was solid desert tan. I wasn't too worried about it, because when they have multi-color, limited-edition flashlights, the boxes don't always have the correct pictures. The other time this happened to me was when I got the black and white plaid flashlights. They came in boxes that show a solid black flashlight on the front. One of them hasn't been opened yet, but I wrote PLAID on the box so I know which one it is. My Christmas freebie was the Stars & Stripes edition. I would have rather had the Summer Palm keychain light, but this was my second choice and I'm okay with it.
