Thread: Question - 850nm or 940nm IR torch?

Btw Maxtoch are allowing me to review their new L3K flashlight. They gave me a nice discount. I have the whole kit coming.

The Maxtoch L3K is an LEP with a 3,000m beam range, that's just crazy. I'll get some decent footage and I'll post it in this forum once it's done. I'd never buy a Maxtoch at their prices, but I definitely wasn't turning down a chance to own one of these at a heavily reduced price. Maybe someone will want it once I'm done

During Maxtoch's development phase (with significant kiwi input by a couple of stirling guys on this and other forums) they were selling for $70 ish USD, with the Kiwi at 80 odd US cents, so were dirt cheap. Now they have a name they have jacked their prices up sky high

I believe it had a lot to doing with being fair on dealers in NZ. I struggle enough with the brands I sell not caring how low they sell for, very hard to stop people buying direct. The only thing that's better buying local is good support and a warranty you can rely on.

I heard years ago that this was why they increased their pricing. They have to also set a MSRP and MAP pricing just like all the other top brands.

OK, so found these - I bought 5 in though freight killed me - seller wasn't kind in combining freight costs...
though fits the bill for movement to allow non-centralised beam to be centred at will.


Happy to flick off at cost - $50 plus post... like I say, freight was the wringer...
