Brass pill is a bit different. It isn’t threaded the entire length but seems decent quality?
MCPCB is probably fine for this 2A light but I think we all expect to replace it if we change the driver anyway.
Typical OP reflector and plain glass lens (a plus for me, no green shift)
LED is Olight blue
Charger seems like crap, I don’t think I would even give it away for free (the ENTIRE circuitry is pictured to the right). Says 500mA output on bottom.
Battery seems accurately rated but nothing special of course. I tested it at 2501mAh with a 3.5A discharge rate.

In summary: well worth the $5.50 purchase as either a giveaway light (as is) or a host for something better
I bought one of these $5.46 Wassblue X2 lights at the Amazon flash sale with discount coupon (thanks). Hell, I would have paid twice as much — LOL.
The beam is nice neutral/almost white and a good balance between throw and flood with few artifacts, if any. Also, the included pink rapped 18650 also maxed out at 2545mAh after ten hours on the Lii-500 and appears to be usable. I trashed the included charger. By my naked eye guess, max lumens appear to be around 900 or so compared to some of my other lights. The clicky works fine (for now). The SOS included in the UI is not too bad since it is not a strobe flash and can be quickly clicked passed by.
Check Vipon for a code on the Lumintop IYP365 Pen Light that brings the Amazon price down to $12.59. These are perhaps the finest penlights I own. Worth the look IMHO.
Vipon has ruined their site. You can no longer search upcoming deals. Even if you download the app you can only scroll through ALL the upcoming deals, no searching. So if the deal you want isn’t currently active, good luck knowing if it’s coming back. It worked great before they changed everything.
I’m a little late to this thread, but the CCWGY9RV code just brought the light down to $10.49 for me, too (with the 10% coupon). I’m a Prime member, too.
Coupon is currently gone, but if it’s still $3.99 OTD when the coupon comes back around, I might have to grab another one… to go with the other EDC01 that’s just sitting on my shelf. I feel like a AAA-light hoarder. :person_facepalming:
