I stumbled across BLF a few days ago when looking to replace a roughly four year-old, ’first generation’ Cabela’s 3 watt/2xAA LED… just doesn’t want to put out much light anymore (like only half) regardless of batteries and, given the economy, I’m definitely on a budget (if anyone’s got a cheap fix, let me know).
Anyways, after seeing all of the various purchases members made from various sites - ebay, amazon, dealextreme, etc. - and the cheap prices, I decided to look directly on Taobao (the ’Chinese’ ebay: I’ve bought some domestically unavailable electronic parts there previously through a buyer’s agent) to see if I could beat the aforementioned deals.
Well, bad news is that using the agent to purchase many of the commonly available flashlights seems to be more expensive, so that’s out. However, I did come across this interesting, ’multipurpose’ (according to the box’s picture) flashlight: I thought some of the members might get a kick out of it.

Welcome, check the review section out tho, I believe that ones already been covered, similar to the baseball bat style one or the solarforce gladiator.
I would look at the more common lights, like C8, HD2010, WF502b etc. I think the quality of this light isn’t good enough to make use of the different purposes.
