My Trustfire TR-803 arived yesterday. Initial impression was WOW what a nice CR123A flashlight with a very bright flood beam. 
Some comments before the photos:
- Build quality is quite good for the $16.90 price tag.
- Very bright and nice flood beam (exactly what I was looking for)
- Single mode (hate the multi-modes, especially the flashing ones)
- Can tail stand
- Glass lens
- Many O-rings
- No glue on threads
- Does not heat up as fast as I thought it would (after 5-minutes it is hot, but not very hot)
That was the :thumbsup:, now for the :thumbsdow:
- No O-ring fitted in front of the lens and it makes a rattling sound when shaken
- The light arived with the tail/switch section in different coloured anodising
- The threads are of acceptable quality (not good, but not bad)
General:
- I tried to buy 18mm x 1mm O-Rings from a local supplier, but they only had 18mm x 1.5mm O-rings. Fitted one in front of the lens, but it popped out when I tightened the lens.
- I bought it at the higher intro price, but it was reduced at DX. I believe that this was to be in line with the KD price
Flashlight disassembled in main sections
Switch and pill sections - note the soldering on the circuit
The other side of the switch and pill sections
Pill section - like the O-rings - note the soldering
Reflector removed. Emitter on very small board
Switch disassembled - aluminium washer fitted to switch on right side of photo
Body/barrel, switch and head
Assembled light - note the colour difference of the switch/tail section
Better beamshots to follow later. Still light here and went to a darker area in the house. TR-803 Left, MTE 5-mode Rebel top, UltraFire C2 Cree Q5 5-Mode right
Beamshots at lower exposure setting - not visable is that the flood portion is much brighter than the other two
Need to run. Our rugby team just kicked off against Italy. Can't miss this one.
