Getting ready to pull the trigger on this light from DX, but looking for some encouragement to push me over the edge.

Where did the tactical forward clicky come from? Picture of it?......I also replaced the reverse clicky on the back with a tactical forward clicky...

I have the Ultrafire C2 in HAIII, Eastward YJ U2 style and a new Eastward YJ that's been out for a month or so, and IMO the new Eastward YJ is the best of the bunch. It has awesome brightness compared with the C2 with a good combination of throw and spill. After using it for a while and going back to my C2 - my C2 looks like a joke!! It also takes both CR123 and 18650 protected or unprotected and has 2 stage. It looks the best of the bunch as well. But the best part is that it has the best tint of them all - a pure white with a tinge of cream, just like my MRV and surefire U2.
The new YJ is the best 18650 light at DX IMO!!! http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4424
The C2 only has single stage, and u need to put a solder blob or a magnet on the positive terminal of ur protected battery to get it to work.
Oh by the way, the tint of the C2 is a horrible purple and ...
I just recieved mine yesterday. I got it with HAIII finish from Kai. Shipping took much longer than expected. This is my 4th cree light. (Rex 2.0, jetbeab cl-e, fenix lod-ce being the others) Fit and finish are nice. I like the switch - not too stiff for me. The LED is slightly off center, but I could not see this defect in the beam. It is bright, has good throw, nice white beam, and has good runtime. I don't have any other 18650 cree lights to compare it too, and it seems like some other real nice ones are just coming out. I think it is a great light for the price. Overall I am happy that I bought it. This is the first LED light that I own that might make me leave my incadescents home. :thumbsup:
