Hi folks,

I'm CONTEMPLATING spending some $$$ for a really nice, bright light. I came across this: [eBay link deleted - DM51]


and was wondering if this looks like a good product / price.

This light appears to be the same generic 35W HID that is also sold by the name of Oracle35W and Tactical HID 35W. You can do a CPF search on these lights if you'd like. Some of them are active on the first page.

It's seems to be a good light for the money although thier performance claims are a farce, at least with regards to anything you'll experience first hand. One recently new owner stated that the light worked well out to 300+ yards which is quite good.

What is alarming to me is that many of the beamshot images used are the property of CPF member Ken J. Good of Polarion USA. Those beamshots are not of the light shown on the sales page and were instead the Polarion PH-40, PH-50 and X1 HID lights.

EDIT: I see now that the seller is probably just an individual using stock photos from "BrightLight" so, they're probably the ones I should be annoyed with, not this seller. I think what threw me off is that the link contained "cgi.ebay." cgi was a huge distributor of junk lasers and airsoft but I don't know if they're around any longer.

Welcome to CPF, asutherland.

This is not the right place to post eBay links. Your post might have been taken to be promoting the sale.

If you are interested in the light, you would do well to follow Patriot's advice and compare it with other similar ones already discussed in other threads here. I'll close this one.
