Flashlight

[kenmac]

Yep same thing as all the others including mine. There must be a million names embossed on these things. Sold from 5 to 20 dollars. Some with rechargable batteries and chargers, some without.

I just thought I could risk 4.99 to see if it will be any good. I already have 4 of those special batteries I never knew existed until about a month ago

In my opinion they are definitely worth the $5. It is a very bright flashlight with two additional dimmer modes and a focusable beam. As for the strobe flash and the SOS morse sending ability, well I am not sure how useful they are, but they are there if you need them. If you already have the 18650 batteries and a way to charge them, you are good to go with a rechargeable flashlight solution. On mine I put a rubber band on the negative end of the 18650 battery so that the spacer would not rattle back and forth in the barrel of the flashlight. It annoyed me that it could move back and forth and make a clicking noise when moved. If they had made the spacer sleeve a 1/4 inch longer it would not have done that. Or perhaps mine was just cut short.

I am not sure how the Chinese can make and sell these so cheaply. They are aluminum, with threads and O rings and an electronic circuit board and switch in the tailcap, and a 3 watt LED and reflector up front.

Are they as tough and waterproof and all of that like you see on TV? No, I don't think so, and time will tell how long they last, but for $5 or the $12 I paid for one with a rechargeable battery and charger and carrying case... Yeah I think they are worth a try.

I ordered this light the other day Ultrafire XML T6 16LM 5 Mode Zoomable LED Flashlight - Tmart Thought I would try it for this price

Yesterday the price was $4.80 or $4.90 something. Today it is $8.99. They must have read our positive reviews and priced accordingly.

"They must have read our positive reviews" <<<<Wow that was a quick price jump, think I saw $4.90 yesterday, but all the positive reviews we're on TBN, on Amazon they tore it apart label it junk. I paid $5.50 at Tinydeal 6 weeks ago because someone on here recommended it with a 10 star rating with a $7.00 taillight guaranty. Anyone know where to get replacement parts for these lights just in case Amazon is right?

I am pretty sure if you need parts, you need to order two. One to use and one to gut for parts. :laughing:

partially press the tailcap switch. Not enough to "click" it but enough to "bump" it. The first bump will be a dimmer beam, the next bump will be a dimmer yet beam (these are battery saving modes when you don't need the full brightness. The next bump will be the strobe mode, and the next bump will be the SOS morse code mode. If you click the tail cap of course it will go off and the good part is it comes on full brightness each time.
