UPDATED FEB 14 2009
- I've been notified that Romisen R-1A01 is still one sale! Link here! (Not sure for how long)
UPDATED MAY 26 2008
- New thread for discontinued, non-high performance, low-rated lights.
- This thread will go hand in hand with the main sticky round-up thread.
- This is to reduce the bandwidth used on the main thread and confusion.
** This is still a very premature thread. Not finished yet.
** I will try and organise it more nicely as time goes by. =)
[FYI]
- GITD silicone tailcap I mention throughout are all DX sku 5714 unless stated otherwise. (Orange ones are not GITD but are same size)
- Measurements are using my own DMM and Light Meter in near-identical controlled conditions. (Still assume around plus or minus 10% error)
Throw = Firing the center of the hotspot directly at the sensor from 1m away using fully charged batteries. (after initial ~1 minute peak)
Lightbox = My own cardboard box where I fire light in through a hole and measure the lux reading inside after 1 minute. (no direct light)
[Output Photos]
1. Taken in a near pitch dark room with lights firing at a white wall from around 40cm away. (F5.0 1/60sec ISO 400)
2. Taken in a near pitch dark room with lights firing at the back corner of my kitchen from around 7m away. (F2.8 1/25 ISO 800)
[Runtime Graphs]
Light is shone on to the light meter's sensor from about 1 inch away.
There is a small camera lense in between to collect most of the light.
Current output of the light sensor is measured by my datalogging DMM.
Current output is close to the overal amount of light and not just throw.
So it is relatively comparable with graphs of other lights in my review.
Just an FYI - Any reading of 0.005mA or higher is still quite useable.
It's enough to find a key hole or see stuff in very dark environments.
Star Rating
★★★★★★ - Buy it now! Amazing bang for the buck!
★★★★★ - It is excellent. A great buy! Recommended.
★★★★ - Pretty darn good. It's not the best but is not bad.
★★★ - It's okay but there's nothing that great about it imo.
★★ - Not good. Avoid if if you can coz it's not worth it.
★ - Why am I even reviewing this?! Total waste of $$$.
Chart below only show the low rated or discontinued lights. Review of these should all be in this thread.

New reviews will be posted as a separate post like below:
- AUG 10th 2008 - ★★ - Romisen RC-A8 Review (Not very useful imo and doesn't use 3.6v RCR)
★★★★ MTE Z-Power SSC P4 KS-3 (DX/KD)
Throw: High 4000 lux , Low 2300 lux (2 x 3.6v CR123A)
Lightbox: High 115 lux , Low 70 lux (Initial peak is 160 lux but lasts only 2 seconds)
- Biggest in this round up overall. As tall as WF-606A and wide as the DX 7 watt light.
- Very bright hotspot. It starts off at 5000+ lux but drops off to a more constant 4000 lux within 1 minute.
- Clean white beam with a slight blue tint. No significant rings or artifacts. Spill is very wide and bright also.
- It gets quite hot after around 5 minutes. Similar to Romisen RC-F4. But it's not painful to hold.
- Nothing seems to be glued which is rare for MTE lights. So you can do candle mode with head off.
- 2 mode tail clicky has low and high mode. It is fairly easy to click it single handed. It can also tail stand.
- It is a reverse clicky and you cannot change mode by soft-press only. (Need to full press off/on)
- Plastic smooth reflector and plastic lense. Double o-rings at head and tail thread. Tough.
- It is bright. But for some reason, I don't like it heaps. But some might. =)
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.3A from 2 x Trustfire Protected 3.6V CR123A in high.
- Tail clickie shows 8.5 ohm resistence in low mode with my DMM.
★★★★ MTE 5-Mode 100 Lumens Rebel 1 x AA / 0100 BIN LINK
Throw: 850 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 60 lux
- More rounder looking than the MTE SSC P4. Slightly smaller also.
- Bright and large well-defined neutral colored hotspot. Some artifacts in hotspot.
- Also has a bright large spill. No rings or artifacts in the spill area.
- 5 modes. Has a memory feature. It will turn back on at the last mode used.
- It can tail stand. But original clickie is very hard to press. Worst one here.
- Tail clicke is MUCH better when replaced with GITD rubber piece. (But then it doesn't tail stand)
- Everything seems to be glued on at the threads like most other MTE lights.
- Not a bad multi-mode single AA light at all. There's a newer 20 mode version also.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.70A from the 1.5v Alkaline @ High mode.
- It pulls 1.25A from the 1.5v Alkaline @ Med mode.
- It pulls 0.95A from the 1.5v Alkaline @ Low mode.
◎ Experiments
- Do not use 14500 or 2 x AA with this light. LED output turns blue VERY quickly.
★★★ Romisen RC-X4 LINK (Reviewed Apr 16th)
Throw: 2700 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Lightbox: 105 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Intro
- It's a single mode side-clicky single RCR123A Cree P4 flashlight.
- Quite chunky for a single RCR light. About same size as Mini 3W Cree.
Build Quality
- Has a rubber side clicky. It's a 1 mode reverse clicky.
- Silver core Cree P4 on a 16mm round base. Glued to the pill.
- Textured aluminium reflector. Glass lense.
- Good quality knurlings on body and head. No threads are glued.
- End tail cap has a spring inside. O-ring in all usual places.
- Seems it's not direct driven as by how the runtime graph looks.
Light Output
- Light beam is bright. Bright well defined hotspot. Clean spill.
- Slight yellowish corona around the hotspot. Neutral tint overall.
In Use
- Side clicky is not the best. It's quite small and needs a lot of pressure.
- It can tail stand and is nice and stable due to a wide flat bottom.
- It can accomodate both Trustfire and Untrafire RCR batteries.
- Even after about 20 minutes of use, it doesn't get too too hot.
Final Notes
- It's an okay single RCR side clicky light. But nothing overly special imo.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.6A from 1 x 3.7v RCR123A @ 4.15v
★★★ Ultrafire FMR1 Rebel LINK (Reviewed Apr 11th)
Throw: High 2000 lux Mid 560 lux Low 160 lux (1 x 3.7v RCR123A )
Lightbox: High 95 lux Mid 28 lux Low 7 lux (1 x 3.7v RCR123A)
- Side clicky that is similar looks and size to the SuperBright CreeQ4 light.
- Side clicky is a small orange button and it's hard to press. Only with finger nails.
- Tint is a bit yellowish. (photo doesn't really reflect this due to auto whitebalance)
- It has 5 modes. Low/Med/High/Strobe/SOS. ALWAYS starts on High first.
- So there is no same/last state memory. But starting on High isn't bad. =)
- It makes it work as if it's a 1 mode light for most cases. Don't mind that.
- There is a side clip which is thin but seems durable enough for most.
- Much more to come later.....
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.13 from 1 x 3.7v RCR123A @ 4.15v
......... ......... ......... ........... High.................. ....... Med ......... ............. Low
★★★ Romisen RC-V4 LINK (Reviewed Apr 11th)
Throw: 2400 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Lightbox: 95 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Intro
- Similar size to the Mini 3W Cree but it looks fatter and chunkier.
Build Quality
- Plastic lense glued to the front of the head. OP aluminium reflector.
- 1.5A 250V KAN-28 switch. Quite big and feels solid.
- Silver core Cree P4 on a 16mm round base. Glued to the pill.
- Textured aluminium reflector. Glass lense.
- Good quality knurlings on body and head. No threads are glued.
- End tail cap has a spring inside. O-ring in all usual places.
- Seems it's not direct driven as by how the runtime graph looks.
Light Output
- Light beam is not pretty or clean. Rough looking hotspot and spill.
- Hotspot has a bright small center but then its dispersed wider around the edges.
- So it has a non-concentrated look to the hotspot from ~30cm away.
- Spill is not clean at all. Can see some patterns. Some patchy edged also.
- But in real-life use, these blemishes are virtually invisible. Only closeup.
In Use
- Easy to press reverse black rubber clicky. It does not tail stand.
- Can change it easily to a standard sized different colour/GITD clicky.
- Head comes off to reveal the emitter so you can do full candle mode.
Final Notes
- It's an okay single RCR side clicky light. But nothing overly special imo.
- Instead of this, for this size, get the Mini 3W Cree that I also reviewed.
- Final rating will be dependant on the runtime graph result..
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.65A from 1 x 3.7v RCR123A @ 4.15v
★★★★★ Romisen R-1A01 Lumiled AAA LINK (Reviewed Mar 12 2008)
Throw: 320 lux (1 x 1.2v AAA NiMh)
Lightbox: 32 lux
- Tiny twisty AAA light with a twist. It uses a collimator lense not a reflector!
- So the light beam is different to most lights here. Big wide no-hotspot beam.
- Ouput is quite bright. Good throw. Not as bright overall as KD buckle light though.
- Very very nice build quality. Top notch. Feels at least double its price.
- It tail stands. But wobbly if lanyard is attached. Single hole in tail.
- You twist the head portion to turn it on or off. Can't use tail as switch.
- Nothing is glued at the threads. Can take head off for candle mode.
- Collimator lense is surrounded by a aluminium reflector/holder.
- There is O-ring in every thread and one in-front of the collimator lense.
- It's not easy to twist it on with only one hand. Need two hands mostly.
- It does get fairly hot. Expected for such a small light with good output.
- Quite easily moddable with a SSC U-bin LED. (without any base/star)
- Even in stock form, I like it much better than the KD Buckle AAA light.
- It gets 5 stars coz it's tiny, nicely made, quite bright and CHEAP!
- It would have gotten 6 stars if it came with SSC emitter as standard. =P
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.55A from 1 x 1.2v AAA NiMh @ 1.35v
◎ Modded Results
- Replaced original Lumiled emitter with SSC P4 42180-U bin.
- Just had to desolder 2 points and pry off existing luxeon LED.
- Then put thermal pad (non-conductive) and put SSC emitter on top.
- Then solder back on the 2 terminals on each side of the emitter.
- Then finally tape the each side to not allow any short circuiting.
- Beam is now more floodier/softer looking but noticeably brighter also.
- With stock driver, getting 500 lux throw and 55 lux lightbox now!
- So it's as bright or brighter than KD buckle light but with better throw.
- See the runtime graph below. Runtime is same but is much brighter now.
....... . Beam ..... ....... ......... Stock .................. SSC Mod .................. .................. ........ Modded with SSC
★★★★★ KD 400+ Lumens 3xSSC LED (Ultrafire WF-500 body) KD
Throw: High 5200 lux , Low 1300 lux (4 x 3.6v CR123A)
Lightbox: High 320 lux , Low 85 lux
- Biggest and heaviest in this round up by far. About twice the length of MTE SSC P4 AA.
- This is not an EDC sized light that's for sure. LOL
- WOW. VERY bright "floody" light. No rings and no artifacts. White-neutral tint.
- Doesn't have a tight throw beam. Smooth blended beam from the hotspot to spill.
- It makes my bedroom light up like I've got a 60W bulb lit up from the ceiling.
- The body is 100% Ultrafire WF-500. (No Kaidomain markings) Very solid. Thick 2mm+ walls.
- Switch is easy to press. Reverse clicky. It does not tail stand as it stick out big time.
- Driver-based 2 mode is a bit dodgy. It doesn't always switch modes the way you want it to.
- Threads are all non-glued which is nice. Textured reflectors are stuck on to the LED star board.
- Glass lense at front. It isn't screwed in so it can fall out if you open the front bezel.
- It doesn't get that hot at all even while using it for extended periods.
- It's a serious amount of metal and light output from only $40. (Pity it's now discontinued)
- This light is no longer available to buy as it was a limited production model.
Alternatively, there are these lights with similar output:
--- Romisen RC-T5 which has 4 x Cree Q4 LEDs (Possibly a bit brighter)
--- Ultrafire WF500 3 x Cree which is cheaper. (As bright as KD 3xSSC)
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.51A from 4 x Ultrafire Protected 3.6V CR123A in high. Only 0.10A in low.
★★★★★★ Rexlight REX2.1 B002 Cree Q2 LINK (Reviewed Mar 06 2008)
Throw: High 1650 lux Mid 580 lux Low 80 lux (1 x 3.7v 14500)
Throw: High 1000 lux Mid 450 lux Low 50 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 130 lux (1 x 3.7v 14500) 80 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
- 5 stars for single unit price of $45. 6 stars if you buy two for $60!!
UPDATE MAR 19 - KD have stopped selling Rexlights! New version soon?
- Wow. Feels solid and expensive. Near same size to MTE Rebel AA.
- HA-III finish is very nice. Nice grey color. Slightly different barrel color.
- It tail stands due to clicky being flat. Reverse clicky.
- But this makes it very difficult to press. Need to use tip of finger.
- Can use both AA and 14500. It is much brighter with 14500.
- But even with AA, it's not a huge difference. Very bright allround.
- Due to the small head. It's no thrower. But a very bright floody light.
- Deep smoothly textured reflector. But I see a faint yellow ring still.
- Has High/Low, High/Med/Low and usual 5 mode with strobe modes.
- I love the High/Low only mode. Every click is the next mode though.
- But when using in 3 mode mode, it can turn back on at the last mode.
- So there is memory but it's a bit different between various modes.
- Changing of the mode is not intrusive and easy to do when needed.
- Thread was not lubed. It seriously needs some. I used WD40. =P
- Didn't come with lanyard nor any spare O-rings. Biggie for some.
- Even running at High with 14500 doesn't make it too hot at all. Nice!
- If you buy 2 for $60, I reckon it's the best AA sized EDC you can buy.
- If you buy 1 for $45, it's still not bad and still cheaper than Fenix. =)
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.85A (High) from 1 x AA 1.2v NiMh
- It pulls 1.80A (High) from 1 x AA 1.5v Alkaline
- It pulls 0.95A (High) from 1 x Trustfire 14500

Beam -- High(14500) -- High(1xAA NiMh)
★★★ UJC B-6 Cree P3 AA DX KD (Reviewed Jan 05 2008)
Throw: 250 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 30 lux
- Size is about the same as an Ultrafire C3. Quite small EDC.
- Build quality wise, nothing really to fault but doesn't feel expensive.
- Hotspot is fairly big and not very well defined. Not a thrower.
- As the throw measurement suggests, it doesn't feel bright at all.
- Spill is fairly bright though and covers a large area. ~1W output.
- 2 mode clicky with ~6 ohm resistor for low.
- In Low mode, the brightness is barely visible under moonlight.
- It is so dim that it's perfect for book reading in dark. Not bad!
- Comes witha blue GITD rubber clicky. Easy to press. Doesn't tail stand.
- Cree P3 bin LED on 14mm round base and it seems it is glued to pill.
- It uses an identical boost driver board to the MTE SSC P4. (~1W in High)
- Due to the long spring in the tail cap, you can use AAA batteries also.
- FYI - This light is said to have Q2 according to KD. But mine was a P3!
- Dunno. There's really nothing too special about it really. Not bright either.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.00A from 1 x 1.2v NiMh AA.
- It pulls 0.90A from 1 x 1.5v Alkaline AA.
★★★ Cree P4 C-02 DX (Reviewed Jan 05 2008)
Throw: 850 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 73 lux
- Umm. Looks near exactly like the single-mode Ultrafire C3 AA.
- Umm. Is it a rebadged Ultrafire C3? Maybe so. Looks too same.
- Brightness however is a bit different. This light is ~20% brighter.
- Also the tint is more whiter than the Ultrafire C3. Interesting.
- It's a dollar cheaper than Ultrafire C3. But C3 comes with holster.
- No idea if this light works with 2 x AA or 14500. Haven't tried.
- Has a switch module in a pill which means better contacts.
- Aluminium textured OP reflector. Glass lense. It can tail stand!
- Reflector has a tight hole for the LED so it is perfectly centered.
- Cannot see any O-ring at front of lense. Body has O-rings on both sides.
- I'll check later if it can accept 2AA using the same extension tube.
- It's like a slightly brighter version of Ultrafire C3 P4 that can tailstand!
- But I don't have any reason to really recommend this over the C3. =P
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.40A from 1 x 1.2v NiMh AA.
- It pulls 1.05A from 1 x 1.5v Alkaline AA.
★★★ KD V2 Cree Q2 5 Modes LED Flashlight (14500) KD
Throw: High 1500 lux , Mid 500 lux , Low 200 lux (1 x 3.7v 14500)
Lightbox: 125 lux (high)
- Similar to the size of Mini 3W Cree light with slightly smaller head.
- Light beam looks very similar to Mini 3W Cree. Clean, no rings.
- But hotspot is not as bright or well defined. Total output is quite bright still.
- Aluminium textured reflector. Glass lense. Pill can be taken out easily.
- Cree is on a standard sized star base. Not glued. Very DIY friendly.
- Fits Trustfire protected 14500 without tissues. Plenty of leeway.
- Reverse clicky. Firm pressure required. But still useable single handed.
- 5 modes. high / mid / low / strobe / sos. Can switch modes with half-press.
- Solid feeling to the light. But not high quality. Looks and feels cheap.
- For the price, it's not a bad 5 mode 14500 Cree light with good bright output.
- But for some reason, I don't like it that much and my friend feels the same.
- Henc I highly doubt I'll ever recommend someone to get this light. =P
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.01A from 1 x Trustfire Protected 3.7V 14500 in High.
★★★ MX Power 3W SSC P4 1xCR123A DX
Throw: 320 lux (1 x 3.6v CR123A)
Lightbox: 30 lux
- Not that bright. It certainly isn't bright enough to be called a 3W SSC light imo.
- Beam is very clean and smooth. Same look to the MTE SSC P4 AA. Neutral light tint. (Not white)
- Has a side clickie (reverse) and not a tail switch. Feels solid. But the click sound is quite loud.
- It is quite small. It's one of the smallest in this round up. Except for the Pocket Cree P4 light.
- It can tail stand. Does not roll off tables due to protruding side clickie. Good build quality.
- SSC P4 LED without base is glued on to the what looks like a copper pill.
- Plastic smooth reflector. Glass lense with O-ring in-front.
- Lanyard is tiny. It's for finger use as even a small hand won't go through it. Kids maybe.
- After around 10 minutes, it gts VERY hot. Only for short burst use imo.
- If you want a compact side clickie for in-car use etc, this isn't too bad. But not that good either.
- This light is not direct driven. Has a driver. See photos at DX link above.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.44A from a single Trustfire Protected 3.6V CR123A.
◎ Runtime Graph
- Seems well regulated. But runtime is quite short for its brightness level.
★★★ MXDL 3W Flashlight DX (Reviewed Feb 27 2008)
Throw: 400 lux(1 x 3.6v RCR123A) , 300 lux(1 x 3v CR123A Primary)
Lightbox: 31 lux (1 x 3.6v RCR123A)
- Similar size to Pocket Cree P4 light. But is slightly bulkier due to design.
- Considering it is a $6 light, it's quite well finished. Non-HAIII coating.
- Mine has a very disgusting greenish yellow tint to the light. Eek.
- For a $6 light, it's actually quite bright while only using a generic LED.
- Quite a clean beam with a blended hotspot center. No rings or artifacts.
- Smooth plastic reflector with plastic lense. No O-ring at the front.
- Pill can be taken out. 16mm round LED base. Seems it's moddable. =)
- It's a single-mode twisty and it's quite useable single handed.
- Without lanyard, it tail stands. It does roll off the table when laid flat.
- Has a nice subtle MXDL 3W lable engraved on the head. Nice touch.
- If it didn't have the ugly tint to the beam, I would have given it 4 stars!
- If you mod it, it'll be quite good. But as it is, the tint puts me off. But at least it's cheap!
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.8A from 1 x 3.7v 14500 @ 4.15v
★★★★ KD 1xAAA SSC U-bin SX0H Buckle LINK
Throw: 250 lux (1 x 1.2v AAA NiMh)
Lightbox: 55 lux
- It has a nice clean floody seoul look to the beam. White tint.
- Has a very wide spill and hotspot. The hotspot is barely defined. Great floody light.
- Has a twisty switch which feels quite smooth and firm. Single mode obviously.
- Body gets warm after a minute. Enough for my friends say "whoa, it gets quite warm"
- High quality feel to the body. Nice etching quality. Glass lense. Feels expensive.
- Comes with a buckle which is very light but feels a bit weak. Can take it off easily though.
- Front head seems glued but can be taken off if pulled hard. There is no threads for the head portion.
- Can't see o-ring at the lense. There is o-ring at tail thread that gives resistence for twisty.
- It fits my BTY 1350mAh AAA battery from DX just fine. Alkalines also fits without issues.
- It can tail stand as the buckle end is flat and wide enough.
- Be careful not to tighten the switch too much as it may cause damage to the driver by the battery pushing down.
- Highly recommended still for a AAA light which is quite bright.
- UPDATE FEB 2008 - This light has improved since I bought mine. It is now up to Revision #3 and soon #4 - INFO HERE
- UPDATE MAR 2008 - The price has gone up $5 (33%) to $20 now at KD!
- UPDATE MAR 2008 - It is available at DX now! Seems like version 3?
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.65A from 1.2v NiMh AAA
★★ DX 7 Watt Luxeon 3 x AAALINK
Throw: 1350 lux (3 x 1.2v AAA NiMh)
- Hotspot is quite well defined and bright. But spill is very dark.
- Has a reverse tail clickie which is easy to press.
- Plastic lense. the whole light overall looks cheap and bulky.
- Uses 3 x AAA in parallel via a included bracket.
- I don't have a single reason to recommend this light to anyone.
- Well, if you want a no-spill-only-hotspot light, it's not bad. =P
★ 3W LED CR123A Flashlight (Generic) DX
Throw: 180 lux (1 x 3.6v CR123A)
- It's only $7.25 so can't expect much from it.
- It's about the size of Gree Cree. Built like a tank.
- Slightly blue tint to the light. Artifacts in hotspot.
- Reverse clickie at tail. It can only be pressed by the tip of finger nail.
- Plastic-looking smooth reflector and thin glass lense.
- Seriously, I have no idea why I even got this light. Don't buy it.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.7A from a single Trustfire Protected 3.6V CR123A.
★★★★ 22000mcd Keychain 5mm LED 10 pack DX / KD
Throw: 30 lux
Lightbox: 8 lux
- Not the most durable light. 1 didn't work. 1 had a broken switch on arrival.
- Bright for such a tiny light. Has both momentary and permanent on mode.
- It can still faintly light up a small room when pointed at the ceiling.
- You can still see up to around 10 yards ahead in pitch dark with it.
- Get the white instead of black as it leaks more light and so is brighter.
- Great for cheap giveaways. Liked by everyone when given for free. =)
★★ 10mm Bright LED Keychain flashlight DX / KD
Throw: 80 lux @ 100cm
Lightbox: 8 lux
- Quite a bit bigger than the 5mm one above. But identical look and design.
- Brighter hotspot = more throw. But virtually no spill. So it doesn't feel bright.
- I don't recommend it. I would rather use the 5mm one above instead anyday.
NOTE: Reviews at DX says this thing is super bright. Hmm.
I may have a dud one. Photos there looks much brighter than mine.
If it is that bright, I would give it probly 4 stars also. Maybe I'll re-purchase. =P
★★★ Mini Pig 2 LED Flashlight LINK
- 2 x 5mm LEDs but it's not as bright as 22000mcd 5mm Keychain light.
- You get two seperate round outputs side by side. They are half overlapped.
- As a flashlight, it's very very weak. Just enough for close up work.
- The two LED outputs aren't exactly the same. Luck of the draw LEDs.
- I would rather get the cheaper and brighter 5mm keychain lights.
- Momentary on/off heart-shaped switch on the pig's belly. No permanent on option.
- Very cheap for what it is. Cute looking. Very light. Cheap gift.
- My friends laugh at it but they like it. So it has some merits. =P
===========================
- This thread will be updated along with the main thread.
- I hope these two threads will be enough for a while. =)
- I've been notified that Romisen R-1A01 is still one sale! Link here! (Not sure for how long)
UPDATED MAY 26 2008
- New thread for discontinued, non-high performance, low-rated lights.
- This thread will go hand in hand with the main sticky round-up thread.
- This is to reduce the bandwidth used on the main thread and confusion.
** This is still a very premature thread. Not finished yet.
** I will try and organise it more nicely as time goes by. =)
[FYI]
- GITD silicone tailcap I mention throughout are all DX sku 5714 unless stated otherwise. (Orange ones are not GITD but are same size)
- Measurements are using my own DMM and Light Meter in near-identical controlled conditions. (Still assume around plus or minus 10% error)
Throw = Firing the center of the hotspot directly at the sensor from 1m away using fully charged batteries. (after initial ~1 minute peak)
Lightbox = My own cardboard box where I fire light in through a hole and measure the lux reading inside after 1 minute. (no direct light)

Light is shone on to the light meter's sensor from about 1 inch away.
There is a small camera lense in between to collect most of the light.
Current output of the light sensor is measured by my datalogging DMM.
Current output is close to the overal amount of light and not just throw.
So it is relatively comparable with graphs of other lights in my review.
Just an FYI - Any reading of 0.005mA or higher is still quite useable.
It's enough to find a key hole or see stuff in very dark environments.
Star Rating
★★★★★★ - Buy it now! Amazing bang for the buck!
★★★★★ - It is excellent. A great buy! Recommended.
★★★★ - Pretty darn good. It's not the best but is not bad.
★★★ - It's okay but there's nothing that great about it imo.
★★ - Not good. Avoid if if you can coz it's not worth it.
★ - Why am I even reviewing this?! Total waste of $$$.

New reviews will be posted as a separate post like below:
- AUG 10th 2008 - ★★ - Romisen RC-A8 Review (Not very useful imo and doesn't use 3.6v RCR)
★★★★ MTE Z-Power SSC P4 KS-3 (DX/KD)
Throw: High 4000 lux , Low 2300 lux (2 x 3.6v CR123A)
Lightbox: High 115 lux , Low 70 lux (Initial peak is 160 lux but lasts only 2 seconds)
- Biggest in this round up overall. As tall as WF-606A and wide as the DX 7 watt light.
- Very bright hotspot. It starts off at 5000+ lux but drops off to a more constant 4000 lux within 1 minute.
- Clean white beam with a slight blue tint. No significant rings or artifacts. Spill is very wide and bright also.
- It gets quite hot after around 5 minutes. Similar to Romisen RC-F4. But it's not painful to hold.
- Nothing seems to be glued which is rare for MTE lights. So you can do candle mode with head off.
- 2 mode tail clicky has low and high mode. It is fairly easy to click it single handed. It can also tail stand.
- It is a reverse clicky and you cannot change mode by soft-press only. (Need to full press off/on)
- Plastic smooth reflector and plastic lense. Double o-rings at head and tail thread. Tough.
- It is bright. But for some reason, I don't like it heaps. But some might. =)
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.3A from 2 x Trustfire Protected 3.6V CR123A in high.
- Tail clickie shows 8.5 ohm resistence in low mode with my DMM.
★★★★ MTE 5-Mode 100 Lumens Rebel 1 x AA / 0100 BIN LINK
Throw: 850 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 60 lux
- More rounder looking than the MTE SSC P4. Slightly smaller also.
- Bright and large well-defined neutral colored hotspot. Some artifacts in hotspot.
- Also has a bright large spill. No rings or artifacts in the spill area.
- 5 modes. Has a memory feature. It will turn back on at the last mode used.
- It can tail stand. But original clickie is very hard to press. Worst one here.
- Tail clicke is MUCH better when replaced with GITD rubber piece. (But then it doesn't tail stand)
- Everything seems to be glued on at the threads like most other MTE lights.
- Not a bad multi-mode single AA light at all. There's a newer 20 mode version also.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.70A from the 1.5v Alkaline @ High mode.
- It pulls 1.25A from the 1.5v Alkaline @ Med mode.
- It pulls 0.95A from the 1.5v Alkaline @ Low mode.
◎ Experiments
- Do not use 14500 or 2 x AA with this light. LED output turns blue VERY quickly.
★★★ Romisen RC-X4 LINK (Reviewed Apr 16th)
Throw: 2700 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Lightbox: 105 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Intro
- It's a single mode side-clicky single RCR123A Cree P4 flashlight.
- Quite chunky for a single RCR light. About same size as Mini 3W Cree.
Build Quality
- Has a rubber side clicky. It's a 1 mode reverse clicky.
- Silver core Cree P4 on a 16mm round base. Glued to the pill.
- Textured aluminium reflector. Glass lense.
- Good quality knurlings on body and head. No threads are glued.
- End tail cap has a spring inside. O-ring in all usual places.
- Seems it's not direct driven as by how the runtime graph looks.
Light Output
- Light beam is bright. Bright well defined hotspot. Clean spill.
- Slight yellowish corona around the hotspot. Neutral tint overall.
In Use
- Side clicky is not the best. It's quite small and needs a lot of pressure.
- It can tail stand and is nice and stable due to a wide flat bottom.
- It can accomodate both Trustfire and Untrafire RCR batteries.
- Even after about 20 minutes of use, it doesn't get too too hot.
Final Notes
- It's an okay single RCR side clicky light. But nothing overly special imo.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.6A from 1 x 3.7v RCR123A @ 4.15v
★★★ Ultrafire FMR1 Rebel LINK (Reviewed Apr 11th)
Throw: High 2000 lux Mid 560 lux Low 160 lux (1 x 3.7v RCR123A )
Lightbox: High 95 lux Mid 28 lux Low 7 lux (1 x 3.7v RCR123A)
- Side clicky that is similar looks and size to the SuperBright CreeQ4 light.
- Side clicky is a small orange button and it's hard to press. Only with finger nails.
- Tint is a bit yellowish. (photo doesn't really reflect this due to auto whitebalance)
- It has 5 modes. Low/Med/High/Strobe/SOS. ALWAYS starts on High first.
- So there is no same/last state memory. But starting on High isn't bad. =)
- It makes it work as if it's a 1 mode light for most cases. Don't mind that.
- There is a side clip which is thin but seems durable enough for most.
- Much more to come later.....
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.13 from 1 x 3.7v RCR123A @ 4.15v
......... ......... ......... ........... High.................. ....... Med ......... ............. Low
★★★ Romisen RC-V4 LINK (Reviewed Apr 11th)
Throw: 2400 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Lightbox: 95 lux (1 x RCR123A @ 4.2v)
Intro
- Similar size to the Mini 3W Cree but it looks fatter and chunkier.
Build Quality
- Plastic lense glued to the front of the head. OP aluminium reflector.
- 1.5A 250V KAN-28 switch. Quite big and feels solid.
- Silver core Cree P4 on a 16mm round base. Glued to the pill.
- Textured aluminium reflector. Glass lense.
- Good quality knurlings on body and head. No threads are glued.
- End tail cap has a spring inside. O-ring in all usual places.
- Seems it's not direct driven as by how the runtime graph looks.
Light Output
- Light beam is not pretty or clean. Rough looking hotspot and spill.
- Hotspot has a bright small center but then its dispersed wider around the edges.
- So it has a non-concentrated look to the hotspot from ~30cm away.
- Spill is not clean at all. Can see some patterns. Some patchy edged also.
- But in real-life use, these blemishes are virtually invisible. Only closeup.
In Use
- Easy to press reverse black rubber clicky. It does not tail stand.
- Can change it easily to a standard sized different colour/GITD clicky.
- Head comes off to reveal the emitter so you can do full candle mode.
Final Notes
- It's an okay single RCR side clicky light. But nothing overly special imo.
- Instead of this, for this size, get the Mini 3W Cree that I also reviewed.
- Final rating will be dependant on the runtime graph result..
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.65A from 1 x 3.7v RCR123A @ 4.15v
★★★★★ Romisen R-1A01 Lumiled AAA LINK (Reviewed Mar 12 2008)
Throw: 320 lux (1 x 1.2v AAA NiMh)
Lightbox: 32 lux
- Tiny twisty AAA light with a twist. It uses a collimator lense not a reflector!
- So the light beam is different to most lights here. Big wide no-hotspot beam.
- Ouput is quite bright. Good throw. Not as bright overall as KD buckle light though.
- Very very nice build quality. Top notch. Feels at least double its price.
- It tail stands. But wobbly if lanyard is attached. Single hole in tail.
- You twist the head portion to turn it on or off. Can't use tail as switch.
- Nothing is glued at the threads. Can take head off for candle mode.
- Collimator lense is surrounded by a aluminium reflector/holder.
- There is O-ring in every thread and one in-front of the collimator lense.
- It's not easy to twist it on with only one hand. Need two hands mostly.
- It does get fairly hot. Expected for such a small light with good output.
- Quite easily moddable with a SSC U-bin LED. (without any base/star)
- Even in stock form, I like it much better than the KD Buckle AAA light.
- It gets 5 stars coz it's tiny, nicely made, quite bright and CHEAP!
- It would have gotten 6 stars if it came with SSC emitter as standard. =P
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.55A from 1 x 1.2v AAA NiMh @ 1.35v
◎ Modded Results
- Replaced original Lumiled emitter with SSC P4 42180-U bin.
- Just had to desolder 2 points and pry off existing luxeon LED.
- Then put thermal pad (non-conductive) and put SSC emitter on top.
- Then solder back on the 2 terminals on each side of the emitter.
- Then finally tape the each side to not allow any short circuiting.
- Beam is now more floodier/softer looking but noticeably brighter also.
- With stock driver, getting 500 lux throw and 55 lux lightbox now!
- So it's as bright or brighter than KD buckle light but with better throw.
- See the runtime graph below. Runtime is same but is much brighter now.
....... . Beam ..... ....... ......... Stock .................. SSC Mod .................. .................. ........ Modded with SSC
★★★★★ KD 400+ Lumens 3xSSC LED (Ultrafire WF-500 body) KD
Throw: High 5200 lux , Low 1300 lux (4 x 3.6v CR123A)
Lightbox: High 320 lux , Low 85 lux
- Biggest and heaviest in this round up by far. About twice the length of MTE SSC P4 AA.
- This is not an EDC sized light that's for sure. LOL
- WOW. VERY bright "floody" light. No rings and no artifacts. White-neutral tint.
- Doesn't have a tight throw beam. Smooth blended beam from the hotspot to spill.
- It makes my bedroom light up like I've got a 60W bulb lit up from the ceiling.
- The body is 100% Ultrafire WF-500. (No Kaidomain markings) Very solid. Thick 2mm+ walls.
- Switch is easy to press. Reverse clicky. It does not tail stand as it stick out big time.
- Driver-based 2 mode is a bit dodgy. It doesn't always switch modes the way you want it to.
- Threads are all non-glued which is nice. Textured reflectors are stuck on to the LED star board.
- Glass lense at front. It isn't screwed in so it can fall out if you open the front bezel.
- It doesn't get that hot at all even while using it for extended periods.
- It's a serious amount of metal and light output from only $40. (Pity it's now discontinued)
- This light is no longer available to buy as it was a limited production model.
Alternatively, there are these lights with similar output:
--- Romisen RC-T5 which has 4 x Cree Q4 LEDs (Possibly a bit brighter)
--- Ultrafire WF500 3 x Cree which is cheaper. (As bright as KD 3xSSC)
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.51A from 4 x Ultrafire Protected 3.6V CR123A in high. Only 0.10A in low.
★★★★★★ Rexlight REX2.1 B002 Cree Q2 LINK (Reviewed Mar 06 2008)
Throw: High 1650 lux Mid 580 lux Low 80 lux (1 x 3.7v 14500)
Throw: High 1000 lux Mid 450 lux Low 50 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 130 lux (1 x 3.7v 14500) 80 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
- 5 stars for single unit price of $45. 6 stars if you buy two for $60!!
UPDATE MAR 19 - KD have stopped selling Rexlights! New version soon?
- Wow. Feels solid and expensive. Near same size to MTE Rebel AA.
- HA-III finish is very nice. Nice grey color. Slightly different barrel color.
- It tail stands due to clicky being flat. Reverse clicky.
- But this makes it very difficult to press. Need to use tip of finger.
- Can use both AA and 14500. It is much brighter with 14500.
- But even with AA, it's not a huge difference. Very bright allround.
- Due to the small head. It's no thrower. But a very bright floody light.
- Deep smoothly textured reflector. But I see a faint yellow ring still.
- Has High/Low, High/Med/Low and usual 5 mode with strobe modes.
- I love the High/Low only mode. Every click is the next mode though.
- But when using in 3 mode mode, it can turn back on at the last mode.
- So there is memory but it's a bit different between various modes.
- Changing of the mode is not intrusive and easy to do when needed.
- Thread was not lubed. It seriously needs some. I used WD40. =P
- Didn't come with lanyard nor any spare O-rings. Biggie for some.
- Even running at High with 14500 doesn't make it too hot at all. Nice!
- If you buy 2 for $60, I reckon it's the best AA sized EDC you can buy.
- If you buy 1 for $45, it's still not bad and still cheaper than Fenix. =)
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.85A (High) from 1 x AA 1.2v NiMh
- It pulls 1.80A (High) from 1 x AA 1.5v Alkaline
- It pulls 0.95A (High) from 1 x Trustfire 14500
◎ Photos from left to right
Beam -- High(14500) -- High(1xAA NiMh)
★★★ UJC B-6 Cree P3 AA DX KD (Reviewed Jan 05 2008)
Throw: 250 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 30 lux
- Size is about the same as an Ultrafire C3. Quite small EDC.
- Build quality wise, nothing really to fault but doesn't feel expensive.
- Hotspot is fairly big and not very well defined. Not a thrower.
- As the throw measurement suggests, it doesn't feel bright at all.
- Spill is fairly bright though and covers a large area. ~1W output.
- 2 mode clicky with ~6 ohm resistor for low.
- In Low mode, the brightness is barely visible under moonlight.
- It is so dim that it's perfect for book reading in dark. Not bad!
- Comes witha blue GITD rubber clicky. Easy to press. Doesn't tail stand.
- Cree P3 bin LED on 14mm round base and it seems it is glued to pill.
- It uses an identical boost driver board to the MTE SSC P4. (~1W in High)
- Due to the long spring in the tail cap, you can use AAA batteries also.
- FYI - This light is said to have Q2 according to KD. But mine was a P3!
- Dunno. There's really nothing too special about it really. Not bright either.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.00A from 1 x 1.2v NiMh AA.
- It pulls 0.90A from 1 x 1.5v Alkaline AA.
★★★ Cree P4 C-02 DX (Reviewed Jan 05 2008)
Throw: 850 lux (1 x 1.2v AA NiMh)
Lightbox: 73 lux
- Umm. Looks near exactly like the single-mode Ultrafire C3 AA.
- Umm. Is it a rebadged Ultrafire C3? Maybe so. Looks too same.
- Brightness however is a bit different. This light is ~20% brighter.
- Also the tint is more whiter than the Ultrafire C3. Interesting.
- It's a dollar cheaper than Ultrafire C3. But C3 comes with holster.
- No idea if this light works with 2 x AA or 14500. Haven't tried.
- Has a switch module in a pill which means better contacts.
- Aluminium textured OP reflector. Glass lense. It can tail stand!
- Reflector has a tight hole for the LED so it is perfectly centered.
- Cannot see any O-ring at front of lense. Body has O-rings on both sides.
- I'll check later if it can accept 2AA using the same extension tube.
- It's like a slightly brighter version of Ultrafire C3 P4 that can tailstand!
- But I don't have any reason to really recommend this over the C3. =P
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.40A from 1 x 1.2v NiMh AA.
- It pulls 1.05A from 1 x 1.5v Alkaline AA.
★★★ KD V2 Cree Q2 5 Modes LED Flashlight (14500) KD
Throw: High 1500 lux , Mid 500 lux , Low 200 lux (1 x 3.7v 14500)
Lightbox: 125 lux (high)
- Similar to the size of Mini 3W Cree light with slightly smaller head.
- Light beam looks very similar to Mini 3W Cree. Clean, no rings.
- But hotspot is not as bright or well defined. Total output is quite bright still.
- Aluminium textured reflector. Glass lense. Pill can be taken out easily.
- Cree is on a standard sized star base. Not glued. Very DIY friendly.
- Fits Trustfire protected 14500 without tissues. Plenty of leeway.
- Reverse clicky. Firm pressure required. But still useable single handed.
- 5 modes. high / mid / low / strobe / sos. Can switch modes with half-press.
- Solid feeling to the light. But not high quality. Looks and feels cheap.
- For the price, it's not a bad 5 mode 14500 Cree light with good bright output.
- But for some reason, I don't like it that much and my friend feels the same.
- Henc I highly doubt I'll ever recommend someone to get this light. =P
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 1.01A from 1 x Trustfire Protected 3.7V 14500 in High.
★★★ MX Power 3W SSC P4 1xCR123A DX
Throw: 320 lux (1 x 3.6v CR123A)
Lightbox: 30 lux
- Not that bright. It certainly isn't bright enough to be called a 3W SSC light imo.
- Beam is very clean and smooth. Same look to the MTE SSC P4 AA. Neutral light tint. (Not white)
- Has a side clickie (reverse) and not a tail switch. Feels solid. But the click sound is quite loud.
- It is quite small. It's one of the smallest in this round up. Except for the Pocket Cree P4 light.
- It can tail stand. Does not roll off tables due to protruding side clickie. Good build quality.
- SSC P4 LED without base is glued on to the what looks like a copper pill.
- Plastic smooth reflector. Glass lense with O-ring in-front.
- Lanyard is tiny. It's for finger use as even a small hand won't go through it. Kids maybe.
- After around 10 minutes, it gts VERY hot. Only for short burst use imo.
- If you want a compact side clickie for in-car use etc, this isn't too bad. But not that good either.
- This light is not direct driven. Has a driver. See photos at DX link above.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.44A from a single Trustfire Protected 3.6V CR123A.
◎ Runtime Graph
- Seems well regulated. But runtime is quite short for its brightness level.
★★★ MXDL 3W Flashlight DX (Reviewed Feb 27 2008)
Throw: 400 lux(1 x 3.6v RCR123A) , 300 lux(1 x 3v CR123A Primary)
Lightbox: 31 lux (1 x 3.6v RCR123A)
- Similar size to Pocket Cree P4 light. But is slightly bulkier due to design.
- Considering it is a $6 light, it's quite well finished. Non-HAIII coating.
- Mine has a very disgusting greenish yellow tint to the light. Eek.
- For a $6 light, it's actually quite bright while only using a generic LED.
- Quite a clean beam with a blended hotspot center. No rings or artifacts.
- Smooth plastic reflector with plastic lense. No O-ring at the front.
- Pill can be taken out. 16mm round LED base. Seems it's moddable. =)
- It's a single-mode twisty and it's quite useable single handed.
- Without lanyard, it tail stands. It does roll off the table when laid flat.
- Has a nice subtle MXDL 3W lable engraved on the head. Nice touch.
- If it didn't have the ugly tint to the beam, I would have given it 4 stars!
- If you mod it, it'll be quite good. But as it is, the tint puts me off. But at least it's cheap!
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.8A from 1 x 3.7v 14500 @ 4.15v
★★★★ KD 1xAAA SSC U-bin SX0H Buckle LINK
Throw: 250 lux (1 x 1.2v AAA NiMh)
Lightbox: 55 lux
- It has a nice clean floody seoul look to the beam. White tint.
- Has a very wide spill and hotspot. The hotspot is barely defined. Great floody light.
- Has a twisty switch which feels quite smooth and firm. Single mode obviously.
- Body gets warm after a minute. Enough for my friends say "whoa, it gets quite warm"
- High quality feel to the body. Nice etching quality. Glass lense. Feels expensive.
- Comes with a buckle which is very light but feels a bit weak. Can take it off easily though.
- Front head seems glued but can be taken off if pulled hard. There is no threads for the head portion.
- Can't see o-ring at the lense. There is o-ring at tail thread that gives resistence for twisty.
- It fits my BTY 1350mAh AAA battery from DX just fine. Alkalines also fits without issues.
- It can tail stand as the buckle end is flat and wide enough.
- Be careful not to tighten the switch too much as it may cause damage to the driver by the battery pushing down.
- Highly recommended still for a AAA light which is quite bright.
- UPDATE FEB 2008 - This light has improved since I bought mine. It is now up to Revision #3 and soon #4 - INFO HERE
- UPDATE MAR 2008 - The price has gone up $5 (33%) to $20 now at KD!
- UPDATE MAR 2008 - It is available at DX now! Seems like version 3?
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.65A from 1.2v NiMh AAA
★★ DX 7 Watt Luxeon 3 x AAALINK
Throw: 1350 lux (3 x 1.2v AAA NiMh)
- Hotspot is quite well defined and bright. But spill is very dark.
- Has a reverse tail clickie which is easy to press.
- Plastic lense. the whole light overall looks cheap and bulky.
- Uses 3 x AAA in parallel via a included bracket.
- I don't have a single reason to recommend this light to anyone.
- Well, if you want a no-spill-only-hotspot light, it's not bad. =P
★ 3W LED CR123A Flashlight (Generic) DX
Throw: 180 lux (1 x 3.6v CR123A)
- It's only $7.25 so can't expect much from it.
- It's about the size of Gree Cree. Built like a tank.
- Slightly blue tint to the light. Artifacts in hotspot.
- Reverse clickie at tail. It can only be pressed by the tip of finger nail.
- Plastic-looking smooth reflector and thin glass lense.
- Seriously, I have no idea why I even got this light. Don't buy it.
◎ Measurements
- It pulls 0.7A from a single Trustfire Protected 3.6V CR123A.
★★★★ 22000mcd Keychain 5mm LED 10 pack DX / KD
Throw: 30 lux
Lightbox: 8 lux
- Not the most durable light. 1 didn't work. 1 had a broken switch on arrival.
- Bright for such a tiny light. Has both momentary and permanent on mode.
- It can still faintly light up a small room when pointed at the ceiling.
- You can still see up to around 10 yards ahead in pitch dark with it.
- Get the white instead of black as it leaks more light and so is brighter.
- Great for cheap giveaways. Liked by everyone when given for free. =)
★★ 10mm Bright LED Keychain flashlight DX / KD
Throw: 80 lux @ 100cm
Lightbox: 8 lux
- Quite a bit bigger than the 5mm one above. But identical look and design.
- Brighter hotspot = more throw. But virtually no spill. So it doesn't feel bright.
- I don't recommend it. I would rather use the 5mm one above instead anyday.
NOTE: Reviews at DX says this thing is super bright. Hmm.
I may have a dud one. Photos there looks much brighter than mine.
If it is that bright, I would give it probly 4 stars also. Maybe I'll re-purchase. =P
★★★ Mini Pig 2 LED Flashlight LINK
- 2 x 5mm LEDs but it's not as bright as 22000mcd 5mm Keychain light.
- You get two seperate round outputs side by side. They are half overlapped.
- As a flashlight, it's very very weak. Just enough for close up work.
- The two LED outputs aren't exactly the same. Luck of the draw LEDs.
- I would rather get the cheaper and brighter 5mm keychain lights.
- Momentary on/off heart-shaped switch on the pig's belly. No permanent on option.
- Very cheap for what it is. Cute looking. Very light. Cheap gift.
- My friends laugh at it but they like it. So it has some merits. =P
===========================
- This thread will be updated along with the main thread.
- I hope these two threads will be enough for a while. =)
