I'll be around.

I see that Amanda has applied the initial offer discount. Grabbed a torch & a pressure switch tailcap. Cheers Mudgripz for keeping us up to date!

Yep new discounted price - 5% off until May 8 - is $88.83US or about $129NZ delivered. Awesome price for torch of this spec/power:

I see a dozen sold in first day - almost all to kiwis

Prob all on here as well, i'm guilty

guilty.

Just make sure you use panasonic/maxtoch 3400 protected buttontop batts. You need the best batts for runtime in these grunters.

Bear in mind too the 1200 meter maximum range is an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) measure of a torch's throw down to 0.25 lux or equivalent of full moonlight on target. In normal clear conditions you will probably see animal bodies half that distance with naked eye, but if its super clear you might possibly pick up big animals with a high magnification scope out past 1 kilometer...just my guess.

Reality is 99% of our NZ night shooting will likely be within 200-250 meters.

gripz, i have a set of four of these (new) - are they up to the task? NCR18650B 3.7V 3400mAh 18650 Protected Li - ion Battery Rechargeable ( 4 PCS )-17.94 and Free Shipping| GearBest.com

They look like it to me. NCR = National Cash register = National = Panasonic.

There are couple of new purchase options Amanda has just put up - one for torch plus a pair of pana/maxtoch 3400s, and the other for these plus charger and holster - down bottom of page:

223 send amanda an email and ask her if you can change it - who knows? amanda@maxtoch.cn

another guilty one here

Going to be a few blokes sleeping on the couch come the end of the month when the missus sees the credit card bill....

Well I'm buggered if I know!!!! I just found this thread and there is a lot of info to take in. I suppose my main question is...Will this torch do the job if I want to see an animal 200-300 metres away???

I see that it is 1200 lumens where the new one you are talking about is 1450. but in practicle terms would there be much actual usable distance difference?

Kudu - the Maxtoch 2S light you've clicked on is now used more by police. Best to buy the latest 2X Shooter hunting light - much more powerful. If you need to get charger etc this is the setup for you:
