has anyone tried out this light?

i'm wondering if it really is the 240 lumens they are claiming.

p4 led that comes with rechargeable batteries sounds like a great deal and he sells a charger seperate.

anyone bought one. what do you think. it is a decent price!

does anyone have one or know if it really is 240 lumens and twice as bright as my fenix 2aa cree light rated 135.

Sounds too good to be true: 240 lumens on 2 x 3.6V 123 batteries or 1 x 18650 battery, with runtime of 4 hours on high beam and 10 hrs on low. It could be possible with an 18650 with 2400 mah. If the light were to draw 600 ma on high it could last for 4 hours--but 240 lumens?? Maybe someone can show how this is possible?

the runtime would not be as important as the 240 lumens part.
anyone think the output could be right?

I may be wrong but it looks like a SSC P4 and not a CREE......am I wrong?
I think 240 Lumens is if it is run at 1000ma and is measured at emitter..... can anyone confirm this?

I would highly doubt claims from a site that mentions wrong items,
the emitter might be a SSC, or even a Lux, but no Cree.

PS: maybe output could be this high, as this is direct drive for 1 Li-Ion 18650. With 2 CR123 Li-Ions current draw will be very high. But high power runtime can only be under 30 mins.
PPS: this might be the ones linked from Dealextreme, who refused them for being junk. I have a totally similar one (even with that "18650 Li-Ion only" imprint on the bezel) but working on Halogen. Nice light for the DX-Price.
