Just these along with a UV 501B have to find. The SS-004 is officially a paperweight. Cute tho. And the skyray S1 something AA q3 is missing on the pictures.
Yes, that is the same one I orderd today. If you like at the photos with the calipers in that ad, they clearly show it as a 93mm body, yet you received the 98 mm body. Hopefully everything else works well.
I have the 98mm one with a rubber switch boot from DX, and it's actually quite nice. No complaints whatsover except for the fact that it doesn't tailstand.
My C3 SS is the one from lightake. It is the 93mm body. Tailstands very well. Didn't work when I first put a battery in. Discovered that the pill was not screwed in all the way. Tightened that and it worked fine. Definitely the Q5 version. Body is very well made. The pill has an awful lot of solder all over the place though. Doesn't seem much brighter than my ITP c7 on Nimh. It actually arrived within two week of ordering too.
I finalliy got the C3 SS today from DealExtreme. It works fine, but it is indeed the 98mm long version, not the 93mm length that is shown in the photos on their website. Seems to work well with either AA or 14500 batteries, but the modes are strange.
When you first turn it on, it defaults to Medium, one click takes you to Lo, then High, then Strobe and then SOS.
Sort of makes sense to default to medium, I kind of like that.
Fit and finish and the seams were good. Not highly polished, sort of a satin finish to it, and it does tailstand.
Is quite strange. I have the DX version too. It has 5 mode: H-L-M-STROBE-SOS and it has memory. So when you turn it on, it starts from the last mode you used.
Today I got another SS C3, this one from Tmart, and it is the one-mode light.
It is 93.7mm long, go figure. Doesn't seem as well-made as the MF one, There is a small gap (line) where the headpiece should be totally flush with the body, Other than that and very dry threads, for $10 it's a steal.
Anyone used this light for more than a month? I love the Fullstainless steel body which includes a steel switch. Like to get one but wanted to know if its better than the ordinary stainless steel C3s in terms of quality, output and durability overtime. Have several budget lights that have faulty switch due to accidental drop. Thanks
