    Fake Ultrafire 18650 battery warning

    My points more clearly stated: There is just one real UltraFire company and one real TrustFire company. If you buy the cheapest "UltraFire" or "TrustFire" cells you can find on ebay you will get FAKES not from the companies mentioned in 1. So conclusions of the type "but this UltraFire 4000...

    What brands can you count on every time ??

    It's (at least in part) because DX sells fake Ultrafire lights, not made by Ultrafire.

    Ultrafire 18650 4000 mah

    Irrelevant, Ultrafire doesn't make 4000 mAh cells so it's not an xxxFire. It could say Panasonic 4000 mAh. What people need to learn is to stop buying cheap batteries from eBay.

    Fake Ultrafire 18650 battery warning

    They have been tested at over 2900 mAh: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?223638-New-18650-with-3000mAh-from-KD&p=2884072#post2884072 I know of the common misconception on CPF is that there are factories all over China that slap on random X-fire labels and that there is no...

    Ultrafire WF-501B for real?

    Re: Are the specified lumens real? Ultrafire is a real Chinese company, although a lot of other companies make fake Ultrafire products.

    Review Trustfire X6 SST-90 OUTDOOR BEAM SHOTS ADDED

    Re: Review Trustfire X6 SST-90 Lots O Pic's Sounds like something is wrong with the X6 or the batteries if a lowly MCE light is brighter.

    Can't decide on a 1xAA light

    If you will not buy any light that has a single complaint on CPF then you can stop using flashlights right now. We're lots of people who are using iTP A2s and A3s and don't have any problems with reliability. Also, "very small" and "handle 14500" defies the laws of physics.

    Looking for a nice EDC light

    You will probably have to pay more than $15 in customs fees for the ZL anyway? For your wife, get the ITP A3 Q5 SS (that starts in medium unlike the newer models). Otherwise very cheap and somewhat reliable means a single mode AA (if you buy from DX).

    In calamaties... what batteries do you think are sold out first? (from Japan)

    Actually CR123A and CR2 are sold in every convenience store in Japan. They are not cheap and are mostly for cameras, so they may have been available the whole time.
