    Solarforce hosts --are they really quality? Yes

    Re: Solarforce hosts --are they really quality? L2i is no longer available anyway. You will have a tough time finding a new one. Just get the 2011 L2, great host.

    Chinese Cree LED

    I have four SK-68s. They are great little lights. They do get warm with AA, but as said above with 14500s they get downright hot! But also MUCH brighter. I did a little torture test with two of them last night. Popped a freshly charged 14500 into each one and let them tailstand until the...

    Coleman Max 115 lumens?

    The coleman I believe is measured in ANSI standard. Numbers should be legit.

    Opinions on Ultrafire C3, Sipik SK68 and SAiK 105

    I don't know anything about the other 2 lights, but the SK-68 is a great format. I have 2, and have 2 more on order. They are rugged, functional, handy, bright little lights for the price. Good all around light with the flood or zoom option. I have more much expensive "budget" lights (solarforce...

    Shipping times from various chinese companies.... suggestions for a AA Cree light?

    There is a US Ebay seller "CampingSurvivals" that sells the Sipik SK-68 clones for less than $9 shipped. I ordered one 1/12 and it shipped 1/13, I should have it 1/15. I already have one from china via eBay seller TomTop. They are great little lights.

    Solarforce hosts --are they really quality? Yes

    Re: Solarforce hosts --are they really quality? Solarforce hosts are quality hosts, especially for the money you are paying. My L2P did the same thing with my XML drop-in. It is NOT the switch. Add a magnet or gently (very) stretch your tailcap spring. Magnet is the better choice though. The...

    What am I missing" HWA WTS Ultrafire T6 CREE XML-T6

    Can you give us more info as to the exact model of light you have? Ultrafire XML T6 could be a hundred different flashlights. Ultrafire describes the brand, XML describes the LED emitter, and T6 describes the brightness bin for the XML emitter. It looks like on glock talk you said you have...

    "No-name" torches you are pleased with

    Sipik SK-68 clone. Can be used with AA or 14500. Bright with AA, very bright with 14500. Tailstands, nice flood pattern, and throws pretty well for its size when zoomed. Built really well with thick metal and feels nice for this price. For $6.16 shipped I cannot complain.

    I keep losing flashlights! Moving towards "budget lights" - possibly :)

    Also agree. Got one on ebay and its a really nicely made light ( I paid $6.16 shipped). With a fresh AA it pulls 1.3A at the tailcap. With a trustfire protected flame 14500 it pulls 1.85A at the tailcap, very bright for a $6 light. The entire reason I bought this was to have a cheap, small...

    If you go over to the "other" more better forums there is a group buy going on for this light.

    Romisen RC-G2 III Cree XP-G R5: Looking for Review or Info

    I have the same light, it was the first LED flashlight i bought that had a Cree LED. Great flashlight, fairly bright and has a nice beam pattern. I like that it uses 1 x CR123 or 2xAA. I have been using AAs in it recently since they are available at work where I use this light the most.

    CE Tech AAA Flashlight

    Re: CE Tech AAA Flashlight from Home Depot The flashlights look decent but headlamps @ 10 lumens? Wow. Cool that it included all the AAA batteries, are they heavy duty or alkaline?

    Wide/Spot Headlamp 3-mode uses AA or 14500 for $16

    I have ordered two of these on eBay for $8.38 shipped each without the battery or charger. I believe it is the exact same headlamp though. They haven't arrived yet, should be here any day. Ebay item # 250779304687
