I purchased it from Dealextreme.com.
Takes 2xAA or 1xCR123. I've fit Eneloops. Also just tried a 3.7v RCR123 and it is brighter and the circuit seems to be holding up with 5 minutes use on it.
I don't have a light meter or multimeter.
It has a GID clicky that sticks out precluding candlestanding.
The clicky is a forward clicky,i.e. it will light the LED with a half press.
It isn't as bright as I'd like but for the price I am happy with it as it is a good AA house light. White beam, not too ice cool either. Beam shot below to show it has a blurry ring in it even with the OP reflector. Build quality is very good.
Edit: after using it with an RCR123 I like it more.
My subjective ratings on a scale of 100:
Brightness: 87 w/RCR: 92
Build Quality: 97
Beam Quality: 89
Overall: 92
