Getting started on flashlights, Tr-801 Review

[greenlaser]

hey guys, i got my first "good" flashlight, it isnt what you are used to but i love this thing, and it is good for the price, as this is my first review try not to bag me and could you give me some pointers and then a light to invest into
heres the flashlight TrustFire TR-801 3-Mode 120 Lumens CREE Q3 LED.
it is a nice little light, runs on 18650 and is very nice build quality,
shipping from dino direct is a bit faster than your average chinese websites,
the flashlight has three modes,
1.High
2.Medium
3.Strobe
the high mode is very intense and very illuminating, and the strobe is perfect for SOS signalling, or um..parties :thinking:
pros:
-Runs on 18650
-GITD O-rings on front of bezzel, so when it is turned off it glows.
-Long Run time
-Generates little heat
-Cheap$$
Cons:
-Doesnt come with 18650
-the 18650 was too tight in the battery barrel so i had to remove one of the springs

I didn't delete the part of your post that said where you bought it - just the advertising link to the site.

Since you are new to the forum, an obvious place to start is the FAQ section mentioned in the above menu. You should read the rules for a start, at least. Additionally, browse various topics on the forum before posting, so that you have a fair idea of what is okay, and what is not.

He probably got it off ebay ..I saw them there the other day for 11.78..? with a charger and pouch and 2 2400 lithium batteries 18650's ..I shoulda jumped on it as well because i went back to show it to a friend and it was impossible to find cuz it didn't exist any longer ..it was listed as 1/2 price and they weren't kidding ..One of those deals where it's almost impossible to lose ..sell the light get free batteries and a charger .. sell the bateries and get a free charger and light etc..... you snooze .. you lose i lost
