I want this light, where to buy?

SuperFire® WF501D 4xCR123A

Specs:
1) Bulb : 12P, 12V high pressure Xenon bulb

2) Max output: 280 lumens

3) Runtime : 30 minutes

4) Battery : 4 x CR123A lithium batteries

5) Color : black

6) Length : 7.7 inch ( 195mm )

7) Weight : 165g ( without battery )

8) CNC Machined and Anodized high strength aluminum alloy, very durable

9) O-ring sealed and waterproof

10) Optically-coated pyrex lens and high performance in focusing light beam

11) Palm-sized high intensity 12V Xenon bulb for duty, tactical and general use

12) Rubber button pressure ON/OFF switch

I really want this light but can't find any US online store to buy it from. So who is a safe China importer to get it from?

These two appear to be the same site with different names and prices...

http://www.qualitychinagoods.com/superfire-501d-4xcr123a-p-407.html

It's not listed on Deal Extreme's site.

I found it on some foreign Ebay sites, but not on the USA version of Ebay.

Where should I buy it from? Any help is appreciated.

The links you posted are fine, szwholesale is the wholesale side of qualitychinagoods.

Thanks, I figured that out after posting. So $20.92 with free shipping sounds like a smoking deal.

Qualitychinagoods is very reputable plus if it's your first time signing up it will be cheaper with the discounts given. I have noticed that ever since you found CPF you are non stop buying everything in your path....:twothumbs

It's an addiction.

Actually I've been doing a lot more research than buying. But this is the only 4x123A light that I've found, so I figure it's worth the risk.

KingGlamis · Jul 22, 2007

Ordered... I'll post a review when it gets here.

Thanks for the link, that is a very cool light. But a little out of my price range at this point.

FlashKat · Jul 22, 2007

I am not sure KingGlamis wants to spend $330.00, I think he know about the Wolf Eyes M90 Rattlesnake which is also 4 CR123 batteries.
edit:I just noticed KingGlamis posted right before me.

I wanted to buy this light too, but couldn't figure out the batteries?????? The optional batteries offered are "2 pieces of CR123A" . . . when the light takes 4 of them. Does 2 pieces mean 2 packages of 2 batteries? It sure is confusing to a noobie. Even the battery page is confusing. Is there another (longer) battery that takes the place of 2 CR123A's? I'd even buy rechargables if I could figure out the best ones (and charger). Can any of you help out a new guy? Thanks - Larry

My guess is they normally sell two batteries at a time, which is why it listed that way. But, my opinion, and I'm not expert, is that I would not buy batteries from them. I will be buying batteries recommended by other CPF members.

I actually bought one of these. It's "O.K."

Shines a bit like a maglight, tighter hotspot. no focus. I suspect the runtime is good with 4 cells, because it's not *super* bright. The smaller-than-a-D-Mag form factor is nifty at first, but it now sits empty. It's honestly not worth the cells to feed it, IMO.

*edit* btw, they list the focus as "adjustable"

I dont see the mechanism for it, so thats a bit misleading, imo

I figured it might be just "OK" which is fine by me. Having a $20 host that accepts 4x123A cells is a good starting point for a flashlight mod.

What's interesting though is the people here that have bought the 3x123A model have posted that it was very bright. I guess I'll see when it gets here.

Deal Extreme has it:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.976

Ultrafire shop has it on ebay as well:
http://cgi.ebay.com/UltraFire-G120-...ch-WF501D_W0QQitemZ160140033834QQcmdZViewItem

With Ultrafire/Superfire, you have to search dang near every variation on the name - WF-501d "wf 501d" wf501d...
The DX description says it won't take 4x3.6V (RCR123a), but does take 3 plus a dummy.

sysadmn · Jul 23, 2007

Not to hijack the thread, but I've also been looking at this light and it's cousin, the 502D:
http://www.qualitychinagoods.com/ultrafirereg-4xlir123a-wf502d-with-clip-rechargeable-p-500.html

The 502D takes 4xRCR123a and runs $23 - anyone have any experience?

KingGlamis · Jul 26, 2007

I knew the shipping would take a while, as in, "the slow boat from China," but 10-15 days seems like an eternity when you are waiting for a new toy. Here is the last e-mail I got from Quality China Goods.

------------
Hi Douglas,

your order was shipped on July 23rd, I think you will get it in 10-15 days
according to our experience.

Best wishes for you and all your families!

thanks again!--------

At least they have good communication.

KingGlamis · Aug 1, 2007

Is it July 33rd or 38th yet?

I want my new light! :twothumbs

Families? :crackup:

Hi,

I would recommend the G&P Laser Product T12 Tactical Light from www.lighthound.com. It is made in Hong Kong and uses 4x CR123A Lithium batteries and a 12V xenon lamp. You can use Surefire parts on it... I just got one and I use Surefire's 6PD strike bezel and z49 clicky tailcap on it :twothumbs

You also have the Ultrafire 12P, but you can't use Surefire parts on it according to another CPF member...
