Does anyone have one of these little lights from Battery Junction? Claims 50 lumens for 16 dollars.

I don't have the BatteryStation light, but I have had 3 River Rock (Target) lights which use the 1.5 watt Nichia Jupiter LED, including the 2AA and 2C flashlights, and a lantern. They all had bluish tints -- much bluer than my Luxeon-equipped lights.

Hmmm... Sounds like my inova X1. That sucker is like a blue christmas tree bulb.

That light looks exactly like the ANSSI from www.dealextreme.com (only $9 shipped).

There are a few reviews of it here at CPF; try a search for "Anssi".

Output is quite blue, about 2-3X as brighter a V2 Inova X1.

Available with various LED's in the same body so anssi is likely a different LED in the same body.

For another 8 bucks or so we also have the Ultrafire 602A1 which is even brighter and would be my recommendation.
