Seems nice and like one of the higher quality Ultrafires. I haven't yet regretted buying two of the better ones, give it a go and try it out. It will be your run-of-the-mill decent torch, nothing special, nothing bad. My guess at least

Yes, its about the right size, and i want a light that does not have modes, i cant find a good priced 1x cr123 light other than a P2D Q5 which i cant afford. So maybe i will get a 2x cr123 light, but i want it to be ok.

It certainly looks good from the description and you can buy and tell us about it. OR, if you want to buy already proven light with similar characteristics, just order Romisen RC-F4 which is also cheaper by a dollar and generally Romisen has better quality control than UltraFire.

Forget everything I just said; if you don't have RC-F4, just go order it. Don't even think about it. Let somebody else like BB order WF-505B and give us a review :)

The 505B seems decent but it doesn't seem like it will take standard size drop-ins for easy/versatile upgrades and you'd get limited use. You'll be happy for awhile but you'll eventually want to upgrade the emitter and/or driver.

If I were you, I'd go for the Ultrafire 502B...it's about the same size, takes one 18650 cell (longer runtimes), single mode, and it takes all the standard drop-ins.

Check it out: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3371

If you want a nice 1xCr123 light, take a look at the Ultrafire EMR1: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7079

or the Ultrafire FMR1: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3786

Those 3 look good, and for my purpous though i need something smaller like 125mm tall. As for the 1 cell lights they look nice, for me though i dont want modes if i can help it, i would just like maybe 50 lumens of a new LED, which will give me like 4 or 5 hours on 1 cell.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa

I'm pretty sure I will go my whole life without ever even considering upgrading a flashlight, much less actually doing it.
