    Register an account on https://www.olightstore.uk/ and a 'free' i3E AAA flashlight in Desert Tan will be added to your basket while stocks last. The catch of course is that shipping is £4.95

    Nonetheless, the i3E is typically £10-13 (on Amazon or from Fasttech etc) so it's a genuine reduction. It's one of the smallest AAA flashlights on the market and well regarded. It's a single-mode flashlight and delivers about 90 lumen which is typical for 1xAAA. A battery is included.

    Very good price for a great little key-chain flash light.

    Mine arrived today too. Very nice. Incidentally I just went through the checkout process there again to see how much the black one would cost. Must be a bug because it was still only charging me the postage. I realise it's one per person so I put my honest hat on and didn't complete the purchase.

    Good little light. I thought it might be a cheap oul yoke but feels decent and the light is bright. Hopefully it lasts.

    Still on. Ordered the black one about hour ago. Add to basket and the price will be 0.

    The deal in the OP (i3E flashlight in Desert Tan) expired around 8pm on the 23rd. It was while stocks last only.

    For a few more hours they substituted the black i3E as a goodwill offer.

    What Wheety references is a glitch (noticed by Clayton Uneven Headboard); not an intended offer. It may have worked yesterday and this morning but I believe it's shut down now.

    Tip for those who don't know: modern NiMH rechargeable batteries are fantastic for torches, far better than alkaline batteries.

    With a good NiMH battery a flashlight like this will usually run brighter and longer, and they have a much flatter discharge curve.

    IKEA Ladda are very good value and are speculated to be rebranded Panasonic Eneloops (or in the very least are made in the same Japanese factory). A 4-pk of Eneloops will easily be 10 or 15 euros.
