What is "The Worst light" you just bought ?

This is like the P.o.s. small sun I bought ...I just hate a bad host .. if the body sucks .. the light sucks

Hands down Ultrafire C3. It's a broken design, needs tin foil to work.

I know i was warned. :)

I couldn't help myself, the smallsun had a plumbing nut on the body this one did not. Oh well.. yesterday i replaced the p.o.s. driver in it and became decently bright. The negative end wire from the emitter was pressure attached to the body. :S Cheap manufacturing at it's finest! Still sux tho... after much needed repairs. Many like it tho, can't wait to get rid of it for cheap.

Versati ET10, way overpriced and suffering from massive cross threading issues.

I guess I should have actually stated my worst light rather than just defend the Trustfire S-A2 :smiley:
Saik SA-105.
I ordered grey, but the light was actually sky blue
The threads galled and cross threaded
The switch was a press fit in the tailcap
Although advertised as aluminum, the reflector was plastic, as was the lens, which was advertised as glass. The lens also came with a small scratch that showed up as a beam artifact
The light was horribly dim and had a green tint.
Regarding the last point, I transplanted the led out of this light into another one, and it has a beautiful bright neutral white beam. I can only assume that the driver in the Saik was no good.
I was a bit surprised by all of this, because i read somewhere that saik is a name Romisen make lights under.
If that’s true, maybe Saik is Romisen’s budget brand…

I thought Romisens budget brand was mxdl ..wait a minute .I thought Romisen was a budget brand .?

It was super bright, but the tailcap spring has an extra brass spacer in a plastic holder, this lost connection after a few months. I fixed it eventually by completely disassembling the light and stretching both the springs (leaving the spacer out), but that is pretty poor, but its build quality is that in general.

I got a 29 led torch from a petrol station £3.99. I also have a 1 million candlepower halogen spotlight, great for the two minutes untill the battery dies.

I'm hoping for better things from my newly ordered KD C8 XM-L :)

Welcome DWF! Good to have you here.

I think you forgot the 15 hours to charge it up for another ten minutes of runtime. :(

Aloha and welcome to BLF danceswithferrets! Funny user name. Laughing

Techlite Lumen Master aka the "Costco Special". At least until I ripped the guts out and replaced the AAA holder with an 18650

Thanks Fishinfool, my ferrets love all the empty boxes that my tech habit provides :D

That's funny because here in Hawaii we have mongoose all over the place. I actually thought they were ferrets at first but then someone told me about how mongoose were introduced to Hawaii (well over a hundred years ago) to control the rat infestation but realized after the fact that rats come out at night and mongoose come out during the day. What idiots! Laughing

Small Sun ZY C84 you can't fix this crap, even the pill has not room to ad some weight or something, the C78 has and the hole under the star could be filled with molten solder increasing the heat management a lot.

It's even worst than the 1 dollar police which can at least serve as cheap host..

I have this light ..you're right ..it sucks

Budgeteer and i were discussing how bad these lights are ..in my opinion it's either NOT a Q5 and someone is just lying since it's impossible to tell the difference in almost any xre emitter ..OR it's got one really crappy driver .. probably Both .. the body and build is just more trash making it one of my least favored lights .. Junk don't buy ..!!!

It could be a real Q5, but from defective batches.

It's not a Q5 , in a home based bin selection rated at the bottom of all stocks emitters I got , probably Q2...

I'm very upset with this matter since the XR-E 'R2' sent from DX happen to rate even low there...look the link

As a side note the XR-E rank beside both R2 one from LCK and the other from KD is listed below from best to worst

First Romisen RC-G2 march 2010, very close to the above R2

Well, mine Small Sun ZY-C84 has drawn only 0.67A from tail and if I recall correctly only about 0.6A to led. So it couldn’t be bright as it should be. I don’t have it anymore, so can’t verify again. Still , it was usable as a backup light for mountan biking.

My numbers were exactly the same with the same impression as well …Junk

Here's anothe piece of junk worth avoiding at all costs .The NF 05. i fondly think of it as my sharp light .. sharp assult bezel and sharp edges all over the tail area ..WHY?/ cuz it's such cheap thin metal for one reason ..Buy it if you love purple light.They have the guts to say 3w i think the w stands for WHY WHY WHY..Just more junk

At least these is well drived ,mine with very few hours of use at around 1,7A or more became like 85000 hours of life , nasty violet or something like that dark light, the star endure such heat that his color is not white anymore, milk and cofee like.
