Should I buy Trustfire TR-1200?

[Skylumen]

Should I pay $42.30 for this light at BestOfferBuy? Is there anything comparable for $50 or less?

If you personally have this light please give me some recommendation. Thanks!

NO! It used to be highly recommended, but it was changed to use a very weak driver.
What ought to be a great light is now a pile of turd.

If you want a bright light, I'd recommend spending a bit of extra cash to get one with an actual warranty from a dealer with good customer service.

My picks:
*The itp A6 Polestar is 80 bucks and works great. Its very floody but you can certainly see down the street with it. 3 brightness levels, 6xAA batteries. No need for 18650s if you don't have a charger for them already.

*The P-Rocket seems to be a good pick. 70 bucks, 1x18650, 3Amp SST-50. Its one of the cheaper decently made lights from shiningbeam.


If you want cheap, you are best off getting an MC-E light or a P7 from dealextreme or the like. However doing so is a gamble.

^Look there. As I said in that thread, the RC-T6 is better and VERY comparable.

Oh darn, I placed my order for a Tr-1200 with bestofferbuy. I will try to cancel it ASAP.
