@arillorlei I just checked it. Make sure it's all caps: FTS10 Add the flashlight to cart, then click on your cart, click checkout, then click order summary, enter the code FTS10, then click APPLY. Please let me know if that worked for you.
the orientation of the batteries having the pluses on one side and negatives on the other probably hints that the batteries are in parallel and not in series. this means that whatever the voltage rating of one battery is is the voltage of the flashlight. those that require two batteries tend to be oriented plus with minus (differently) because it then requires double the voltage of a single battery. and that means two batteries together in this flashlight doubles the potential of its overall operating time. i don’t know if this particular model comes in black but uv with black would be my preference.
Whether batteries are connected in series or on parallel doesn’t directly affect the runtime. It’s only the driver’s efficiency with a specific source voltage and LED voltage and the total battery capacity that matters. And of course the LED efficiency itself.
My Logitech G602 wireless mouse is 10 years old. It also has parallel battery placement, and it is able to work on one battery. 2 AA batteries tend to last me at least 2 months. I'm surprised that parallel battery placement isn't as common as it should be.
Right? Seems like it should be a standard for so many electronics. I was legitimately surprised to see this in a flashlight. Like you said, it's not new tech...
Hi hope this helps Find blood stains that haven't been cleaned properly check hotel sheets for cleanliness sanitize can see security features on ID or drivers license, checks, cash money, credit cards.

I understand what you are talking about, but I really do enjoy the convenience of a Type C rechargeable flashlight. That's one of the reasons why this hybrid flashlight is so cool. 👍🏻👍🏻
Lock button is crap doesn’t hold battery with a firm press , UV light is crap, tactical tail switch doesn’t do what tactical should and that ability to start in full brightness to blind an intruder
It is the first time I hear of this brand, but the video was convincing, I was thinking I might buy one. You are saying it is not a quality product&brand? Thanks.
@@ContraVsGigi it's a budget Chinese brand, I have the X7 on my hardhat as a headlamp (coal mine maintenance) and it's great. I prefer Nitecore for my edc lights but Wuben is pretty nice for the price.
After being a multiple device Wuben user and kickstarter backer for them before I can safely say this is worst product and launch they have done , the way they have treated people and even put on website before some backers orders have even been sent is a massive letdown for the torch and edc community
Totally agree! I'm actually working on an All American Made EDC Kit. What flashlight would you recommend? I was looking at Surefire, but their flashlights are almost $300...

I didn't even pay attention to thay, but you are absolutely right.. Makes sense.
Yes! It does come in black with UV. 👍🏻👍🏻

Very cool. I have so many flashlights but may end up picking this up. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks! Yeah, it definitely stands out from the cliché of tactical flashlights.

You always make items you review so interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I try to be straightforward about the items I review. But I do tend to be enthusiastic. 😅
Thanks for the quick review, decided to order one. Happy Holidays.
You are most welcome! Merry Christmas!

😅 I heard that while editing the video. 🫣 Sometimes I speak way too fast and do not pronunciate.
I'm curious. How is a UV light useful? Sounds cool, though. Thank you for the video.
Hi hope this helps
Find blood stains that haven't been cleaned properly
check hotel sheets for cleanliness
sanitize
can see security features on ID or drivers license, checks, cash money, credit cards.
Charge things thst glow in the dark.
See scorpions at night
Set certain resins that use uv
And the list goes on
I enjoy using the UV light to see a different spectrum of things. As mentioned, it can also be used to inspect for cleanliness.
We need more thingd running on AA batteries instead of non replaceable batteries

even at the sale price, its still $10 more expensive than it should be.
With my coupon (FTS10), it's $5 cheaper. So, only $5 more than it should be. 😉
want!
Right now is a great time to pick one up. 👍🏻👍🏻

@@SmokeyBandit77 Haven't had any issues with the battery lock button. Haven't tried the UV light or the tactical tail switch yet.
Agree bro...uv version are crap....just received mine and it cheapo uv light i ever seen...
