Flashlight Host and Uncommon Budget Flashlights

whats this please??

I have this light. Got it here.
It’s not too bad. Main LED is cool white, side LEDS are cool white and red.
Single click turns on main LED. Click to cycle through high, mid, low, strobe, repeating. Does have memory. Long press about a second to turn off.
Double click to turn on side LED. single click to cycle through solid white, solid red, slow blink red, fast blink red/white, repeating. Does have memory, but if you switch to mail LED, the side LED memory gets reset back to solid white. Double click to go back to mail LED, or long press to turn off.
Draws 27uA while off, 2.2A high. 1A mid, 0.3A low.
Side LED .1A solid white, .05A solid red.
Driver is easy access. Just unscrew the battery tube and remove the threaded retaining ring. There are a lot of wires on the driver. 4 to the switch (lighted), 3 to each side LED assembly, and 2 for the main LED.
LED is also easy access. Just unscrew the bezel- no glue anywhere. Led is on a standard 20mm board. I’ll replace the main LED with something more neutral, but I’m leaving the rest of the light as is.

Please excuse me stretching the definition of a flashlight but I think this way of using flex PCBs and magnets is interesting yet not worth its own thread.

Harry Potter and the Angry Blue Lights

Guess this belongs in the USB light thread:

The seller claims it’s titanium:

Looks a lot like the old (and new) 47’s ML light.

Yep looks like the old 47’s Titanium mini …

.

. And 47’s Quark MiNi AA Titanium Gen 2

.

I’d take 1 of each… who wants the other 599?

That short fat one is definitely cute.
18350 or 16340?
That MOQ though…
And they seem to be twisties, which is… hmmm…
…which is interesting for QTC dimming. :slight_smile:

Hey, I haven’t realized that. I wonder if it’s the OEM or a clone…
I’m in for 1 AA. :wink:
Anyway, 600 pieces seems a lot for a BLF-only GB. But maybe it would be reasonable for someone like Astrolux?

BTW, they have also this:

BTW, searching by image has led me to this:

I’d absolutely be in for those 47s Ti clones/oem hosts. They’ve always been the on my short list for best looking lights. Definitely a group buy I’d be excited about.

Thus looks like a magnetic ring rotary switch light. Beautiful. Too bad minimum 10 pieces to order.

Magnetic ring rotary switch on a titanium AAA light at that price? I just assumed it was a simple twisty light. On/off. Maybe high/low.

It’s spot on Sunwayman M11R Ti.

It says minimum order of 10 @35$...

Maybe a GB?

But in details it’s shown something else :/

Purchases on alibaba.com need to bought with a single payment and a shipment of the entire lot to one address. Shipping costs are extra and the shipment will likely be charged import duty. Here in the US, a small shipment of a few items never has a tarriff collected but a large shipment will, as customs looks at it as a commercial order. I do not have any idea at what $ value tarriffs kick in or if there are other criteria considered as well.

I contacted tatasal with the hope that he could convince Banggood to stock them. I think it could be a win-win situation, 600 lights is probably too much for us but not for them.
The choice of tatasal might not have been perfect as he said he had just shallow BG contacts.

BTW, another host:

I wonder if it’s possible to swap the LEDs for the rngwn ones. :wink:

Another interesting host:

AC input, USB input, built-in battery…not bad for a humble light bulb.

Very interesting concept, a single flashlight head that can be used as a handheld flashlight or as a headlamp.
