best flashlight for around $30-35 (DX/KD)?

[warriorz]

hi everyone,

l need help deciding on which flashlight to buy from Dealextreme or Kaidomain. I'm looking to spend around $30-35 which would make it around $40 over here(Australia).

l'm looking for something thats bright, and can throw really far(really important for me) please.

so if someone can suggest to me what flashlight would be good within my budget, then that'll be greatly appreciated.

thanks

I like this U2 type light from Kai:

It has a deep reflector and drives the LED slightly over 1 amp.

The WF-600 would be the best throwing light under $35. With 2 cheap 18650 batteries and a charger, it is $44 USD total. There is also the 3W Cree projection that can work on 2 CR123 batteries. A bit less throw then the WF-600 but can probably be "fixed" if you swap the P4 for a Q5.

The best throwing light for around that price would probably be this.
WF-500 Q5 HAIII - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8672
It has HA anodizing so it's scratch resistent and has a Q5 Cree bin.

or.. Just get the non-HA Q2 version for $10 less.. It doesn't have HA..
Also, I expect it to be around 10% dimmer which isn't really noticeable..

thanks guys, i was thinking maybe the wf-600(Q2) before i posted this up, and it seems that you guys recommend it the most. its ok if it uses a Q2 bin, they are still pretty strong

l'll grab the wf-600. thanks

If you can go up a bit in price. This WF-600 will be the better buy as it also takes CR123 batteries.

This is the one I am buying for myself.
