First Post! Wondering how to get a XP-G flashlight in canada! :)

Hello CPF!

I just found this forum two days ago and... :twothumbs
I've been reading all I can, much to learn I'm sure, but as I'm sure you can imagine I'm looking for my first LED flashlight (i was thinking XP-G...or MC-E perhaps).

Originally, I thought surefire was _the answer_ but upon learning from this forum, there's plenty of other awesome flashlights out there.

I'm trying to find a "tacticool" flashlight: Black, grippy exterior, will fit inside a vest, maybe 3-5" long, 225+ lumens on high-mode (hopefully 3-mode atleast)....So I found the Ultrafire C1 from Kaidomain: ProductId=10199

Sadly, I cant seem to get my paypal account verified to order from them.
And if you're not verified, they wont ship to you.

So the questions are:
1. What's a good site to have stuff ordered on visa and shipped to canada (or even better, in canada?)
2. Is the Ultrafire C1 a decent light for what I'm looking for?
3. Should I build up my own? Get a body and upgrades?

Whew, that was a mouthful, sorry for the super long first post!

Thanks CPF

Additionally, I probably should state that I'm thinking something that is powered by atleast 2xCR123A or 1x 18650. I apologize if I'm missing something, learning as I go!

brianch, good question (and evil smiley excites and scares me)


Was thinking at topping out at perhaps $50? If it was rediculously awesome maybe $70.... But i'd like to stay around $50 tops.

Wondering how to get a XP-G flashlight in canada!

Move! ...to a free country. Or what's left of it.

4sevens.com seems to have a lot of nice stuff, but on the pricier side.

The one I noticed on there was the quark 123-2 turbo, anybody have any input on that one?


Any other places that ship to canada or worldwide?

You could also try www.4sevens.ca for the Quark xpg R5 lights.

As for being pricey, remember you get what you pay for.

Here is more info on the Quark Turbo series:

I would definitely recommend a 4Sevens Quark.

Speaking of 47s quark. I just got my MINI 123 in You can get JETBeam, Fenix, and Quark locally. There are a few Canadian retailers. Choose your poison and check back to see where you can get it locally. I recommend JETBeam lights :thumbsup: Thought I don't think any of them are under $50

Hey guys, thanks for the great replies!

So the quark turbo is a pretty good light I presume then?

You Sir, Are Awesome!! :twothumbs

Ordered!!

I'm looking forward to getting it and taking some pics!

I'm going to be selling a quark soon.

2AA, Tactical quark with XP-G.

Where are you located? I'm in Vancouver.

I'm in Victoria,

but I just ordered a 123-2 Tactical Turbo with an XP-G

thanks though!

No worries. Being in Canada you gotta watch the dollar and know the specific shipping policy.

Flashlightsngear shipping to Canada is good to say the least.

You could cancel, but no worries, it won't be hard to sell mine, since it's mint , R5 XP-G etc. Just thought I'd save you a few bucks and time if you were local (or close, Victoria is close).

Hey Graphite:

FYI: you can check out the full Fenix line @ MD Charlton in Saanitchton, Local warranty is always nice

Nice-Light, can you provide more info so I can update the Canada Good Deals thread on CPFMP. Best to PM as sales info is a no-no on CPF proper.
