Hello, this is my first post here. I tried searching this forum for what is very basic info but couldn't find what i'm looking for, although i bet it's here somewhere.
I have just ordered 2 LED flashlights from a bricks & mortar store in Florida that also has a website and sells online. One is a "Super Zoom X-80 Cree LED Flashlight" about 2200 lumens $160 and the other "STR8 Beam SP-2 CREE LED Spotlight" plus 2x 4000 Mah batteries and charger for $114. I also ordered a gun mount for this latter one. Neither flashlight is branded.
I have also searched ebay and there are many sellers of flashlights in China with what look to be almost identical flashlights (same specs) for under $20 shipped.
All of these flashlights are of parts made and assembled in China.
Am i getting a superior product by paying ten times the amount to a Florida 'light' retailer ?
There is so much info, so many flashlights, all changing by the month that it is difficult to make wise choices.
thanks eh, kootenay joe
