18650 Cree/Seoul light recommendations

dts71 · Jun 22, 2007

I'm looking for a ~$30 18650 sized light with cree or seoul emitter, one or two levels and a clicke. There are many to choose from at Dealextreme and Kaisdomain. I hope I could get some assistance based on your experience on which to go for and which to avoid.

Cheers!

I have this one(U2-Style 3W CREE, Two modes, review) and it is pretty well built and is pretty bright. The 3W Cree Projection, two modes, also looks pretty good. The Ultrafire C2, one mode, will not work with a protected 18650 battery unless you use a spacer. The Ultrafire C1 seems good. So does the 3W Cree LED, review. The EYJ Seoul seems to be pretty solid, if it was built like the U2 style, then it should be good. The Ultrafire WF-502B is a pretty good one at a lower price, review.

For less than 50$ I got a Dereelight one of my best light. In the future I will buy a 5 levels module.

I like the U2 Cree from DX also.

It is a well-built light with a nice beam and spill.

Thanks for the good advices guys :twothumbs

It's a tough choice between:

The U2 clone http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1285 seem to have come in so many versions so I won't know what I will get.
I'm also concerned about the high currents beeing reported...

The 3W CREE LED http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2681 - the option to use primaries.

The DX 3W http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1284 - I like the sleek design but it's out of stock.

Since both the U2 clone and the 3W Cree have got good reviews, I guess I can't make a wrong decision. Still have to choose though :thinking:
