For that price, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a direct drive light. The price is right, though.

Have you seen the aweful spelling and grammar? There's NO WAY they are in the US.
Looks like you need an RCR123. Not just a 3.0V CR123

That's what caught my eye as well. Seems to indicate that it's just direct drive without any form of boost. Could be wrong of course but that's the feeling I get.

Has anyone ordered from these guys before?
I've got a few items in a shopping basket but haven't placed the order yet.

Yes, they are quite well known here, and well regarded. The CS is excellent, only thing to beware of that the order can take a while, especially if the item isn't in stock. The owners of dealextreme and kaidomain ran fifthunit together before they split up.

Is there a CPF discount?

A little "light" reading will probably answer all your questions...

Yeah. I know... "Use the search". I just did and found various posts regarding quality. What would you expect from a $15 Cree P1 rip-off. I'm handy with tools. I can't pass up a "bargain".
