Flashlight Host and Uncommon Budget Flashlights

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:

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…

And now we also have the P80 !

P70, P80, P90…

Anxiously awaiting the release of the P100! :person_facepalming:

Having a P100 bead with 10 gears in a copper (yellow gold?) host is my dream!

Ultra Bright-High Lumen Flashlight
The rechargeable flashlight uses the OSRAM P9 LED, 3300 lumens, which is much brighter than the other general one.

It's a cheap Amutorch X9, but cheap not just by the price. If you look close at the main pic, it actually has rubbed off anodizing. Weird they'd use a marked up piece for their pics, or maybe the anodizing is so weak, they couldn't find a good sample. It's a little bigger than an X9 and uses optics, not a reflector.

The video for this light shows a SHREPA brand light, anyone know of that brand?
