Flashlight Host and Uncommon Budget Flashlights

They put a junky driver in it. High, Low, Off. :person_facepalming: They could at least copy it properly. Lol

P50 LED and "Magnalium Alloy Material" - what could be better? :FACEPALM:

almost same price as original FT03

no point of buying and mod :confounded:

+1. It has been around since end of last year if i remembered correctly.

It does not look like something I would buy but I love how minimal it is:

I like this one! Are there any models with harder shell (aluminum, steel etc?).

9V battery(6F22) is very common battery that can be bought in almost every type of store and people(especially older generations) would probably like to have this one in a house or for emergency situations.

I would be very interested to see what type of driver this light could have?

The driver:

That’s pretty much it.

It’s a knockoff of the Pak Lite, which has been around for 20+ years. It’s expensive but indestructible, with a 10 year warranty.

New UV light with dual green buttons. Design is not perfect but at least it is quite original.

Very expensive clone Q8 and SP36.

Link in the pic.

BOMB. LOL.

Coming from Maxtoch is probably a well built (like a bomb) light!
They have some interesting models (most of them on the throwy side), so this may be one of those too!
Biggest problem with their lights (as with some Amutorch/Shadow lights) is the UI (normally with memory, without ML levels, and with longer press for OFF).
Despite this, their lights seem pretty reliable!

I got a few Maxtochs, worked with Amanda in the past. Their anodizing is 2nd to none. They specialized in hunting and searchlights - mil and services.

This one is more SP36 size with the 3 cells, not 4.

Bomb F1... Perfect for a grenade pouch, as I've used for Q8's!

New to me AAA light:

14500 OR AA zoomie on sale for 19.95 (discount after you add to cart). No idea if it’s any good.

Expensive, but I thought it looked kinda slick. Same length as TC20 with a thinner head diameter.

Nitecore has similar stuff based around their proprietary 21700, with magnetic attachments:

I like it when they give you a choice of XHP70 and CREE XHP70, hhmmm.

What about these:

What is a P90? And what is a XHP90?

The first one above can do 3500 meters, not bad for a $43, 32 mm head diameter light!

The xhp90 is not from cree, it’s a smaller unknown company that makes a 4 die led on a 9mm x 9mm base. I hear they can’t take much amperage. Maybe 5 to 8 amp.

Nice find!

That 1st one is similar to the one I posted, interesting too with the added display screen feature.
It appears to have the exact same UI with hidden Turbo/Strobe/SOS.

It’s also listed on aliexperess…
