Today intl-outdoor has added these "rarities" to their new arrival list
1) The torpedo AA flashlight, with "customizable" LED 25,73$
http://www.intl-outdoor.com/torpedo-aa-250-lm-flashlight-p-294.html
You can choose between
xpe r4 LED (250 lumens)
xpg r5 LED (280 lumens)
Upgrade to xpgr5 is only 0,99$. Both seems to accept AA or 14500, regulated to 800-1000mA on the highest mode. They are 3 mode and seems to have square threads
2) The torpedo AA flashlight EMPTY body (no led, but I dont know if has or not has driver) 19,95$

Maybe it includes a driver board...

It appears to have a PCB that fits in the pill, but no driver.

Looks like an AA version of the N-light B10. I've always loved those lights and that's not a bad price for a good looking copy.

Possibly not. CQG may not include shipping charges and if not then I-O will be much cheaper.

That PCB looks to be for the switch. That host gives new meaning to DIY. The only thing you don’t have to do yourself is mill & anodize the body and grind your own lens. Never saw a kit before this where even the switch had to be soldered onto it’s PCB. LOL!

I stand corrected. It definitely looks like the switch PCB.

CNQG shipping is $1.83 only. So see which one is more "regular" to you and you want to build a rapport with. :)

$1.83 unregistered and $4 registered.
I've been told that orders at Intl-outdoor that are over $20 are shipped with registered post.

I noticed this driver...
http://www.intl-outdoor.com/amc71354-5mode-circuit-board-nanjg-101aka1-p-254.html
Looks like the usual suspect for a decent price but lacks stars to bridge for mode selections. Anyone have experience how to make it hi-med-lo?

Yes, it can be done if you solder the bottom right two pins on the Atmel chip. It will become High Med Low only
