Trustfire ST 80

[applevalleyjoe]

I was looking on ebay the other day and came across a retailer selling a number of Trustfire ST80 Luminous SST80 1800 Lumen flashlights. Now I know that I am new to CPF but in all of my reading/reviewing the last several weeks I haver never seen an SST80 so I'm a little skeptical.

I checked Trustfire's web page and they do not have a listing for such an animal. I also checked Luminous and they too do not have an SST80. I contacted the seller twice and each time his responses did not at all deal with my question RE: the claim for an SST 80 and the 1800 lumens.

Does anyone have any information about this flashlight? Is there such a thing as an SST 80?

Like this one ?!?

Please don't buy...DON'T !
Check Luminus' products...there is not such a thing...yet !

Yep...this is the one and you're right, Luminous doesn't list an SST 80. That was the first thing that I checked.

Got a message from Luminus Devices this morning..."Luminus Devices does not and has not ever developed an SST 80". Oh my

Well the pic on ebay shows an sst-50 emitter. Pretty horrible that it has sst-80 on the side of the light and in the description/all over the page.

That and the body is identical to the Trustfire ST50.

Someone is trying to one-up the competition?

It'll pale in comparison to my SST-5000!

i noticed on the picture that its called st 80, could it be they dont know and just thought the led was that? ok so maybe im stretching it a little. randy.

[LotusDarkrose]

Lol, and on second thought...Now I can finally replace my outdated sst-70 light!
