If you are into pure flood brightness, then it should be ok. I would honestly pay more for a good name brand.

Hey, Ive been searching Dealextreme for a new light and I came across this

http://dx.com/p/fandyfire-5-x-cree-...e-light-flashlight-dark-grey-4-x-18650-146528

I really like the rugged look of it and there is only one review on the site. Anyone have this light and could post some beam shots or a review? I would like to get some real information on it before I go out and spend 86 bucks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Not trying to be funny about it at all. But how exactly do you define "good brand name?"

Also what 'good brand name' make would you suggest that offers similar performance to this light? While 4000 lumens is probably bogus, it's not unreasonable to expect 2500 lumens out of it. Which is still a heck of a lot of light.

Isn't the TN30 about double the money of the light in the OP though? Not sure it's really comparable on that basis alone.

Meh. I went through that phase of being lured by inexpensive nice looking Chinese lights from Deal Extreme. And while they look good, there are almost always some quality or design problems. Romisen has been the exception, though. They do make some mediocre flashlights, but also some good ones for the price.

All in all, if you don't lose flashlights much, pay more for better quality. You'll feel it every time you use the light, that it was money well spent.
