Okidoki! It’s just an UltraFire sticker! 
Now a name list and specs for all lights in the OP!
Nice!
If anyone can find an attractive offer for EU, please do tell!

FandyFire EVA Cree XP-E R5 80-Lumen
I pleased with mine, the anodizing has held up well to pocket & belt duty.
Akoray is one of the best cheap AA light i ever had.
It falls inside an aquarium, it faced rain, fall and bump and it still work on AA and 14500…
Anyone has a link for #1 light (not zoomable)?
Try these links >>
My current favorite AAA light is the Smiling Shark SS-5039.
It is not as bright as some, but I plan to mod several. I am bored with cylindrical AAA lights. Should come out under $10 with XP-G and boost driver. The head of # 14 above looks similar. I also like SK-58s, # 15 above. I have a Smiling Shark light that looks like # 18. I also have a Smiling Shark light like # 9; it is nice but I haven’t really needed it.
Added: My thread on my Smiling Shark SS-5039 mods. Smiling Shark SS-5039 1 x AAA size flashlight, modification notes, Now 3 x 7135 with modes, on a BLF Tiny 10 board.. I am up to 0.7 A in an XP-G2, on a 10440, for less than $10.
$5.99 at the local drugstore: Shop Beauty, Vitamins, Medicine & Everyday Essentials | CVS Pharmacy
(lifetime warranty and free shipping, too)
I don’t like moveable pocket clips, scratches the anodizing !
Has anyone summed up all the variations on #3? I know there are a lot of zoomies that look like that for sale now, and I recall one of them has a good solid pill — but I’m not sure which.
Of course maybe it’s the lottery thing, but I’m hoping. Someone above mentioned that same variation, some junk, some solid.
I realize I really like this thread’s approach — since there are so many clones/copies/lookalikes,
For the #3, I’ll hunt’em up and note them here.
PM me if you have a pointer to a thread where someone already did this, or recommends one.
I’ve come up with
3-mode Zoom AA/1450 EXPIRED ! "Black" $1.99 Max 3ea (Wallbuys and Ebay)
Slick looking 1-AA Q5 Zoom, price Drop, $4.24 from $5.99 shipped (Ebay)
What is This Torch ? (several sources)
Aha — this is the one I saw recommended (by Firelight2) as better quality:
Rustu XL-03 from one place at DX

Member id sunsmile*2013
(same seller from which Jerommel got a solid-pill version, a few responses below this one)
I like the sk68 clone with a 14500, but with a 14500 on/off is not enough as full power gets too hot, so I only buy 5 mode, high, med, low, strb, and last one was I thnk sos.
OTOH my EDC has been my Olight i3s since the day it arrived. $20, but there it is, it does the job with a 10440.
number 3
This one is the best I got:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200958055768?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&\_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
Has good optics and a not-hollow-pill and the 3 modes.
But it’s also the ugliest…
It’s gold, okay…
but it’s just less elegantly shaped, somehow…
Also, it is gold, with a GREEN switch boot, which is one of the ugliest colour combinations i ever saw…
Hey, green and gold are both my high school and college colors. Although, I guess I do agree that it’s not a good combo, especially if the two are not tonally balanced.
Mine arrived, ordered through aliexpress from the yupard seller for 6.5$ with tracked shipping.
It’s bigger than I thought, thick walls. Pill is hollow, it’s just a aluminium ring which sits inside the head. Reflector is a very cheap plastic reflector and the lens is also cheap plastic. No dust or scratches. Lockout not possible.
Modes 100,50 and strobe. Current is about 1.2A. Cool white tint.
I made an extra thread about the light because I couldn’t find information in the forum about it. I wrote “reference#7” in the thread topic, maybe this should be some standard so we can use this reference number because these lights have no names…
Where do we find the coupon code? What is the difference between those two links?
My expectation is that prices will settle at around this level. This design appears to be cheaper to produce in quantity than SK-68s (# 4). Less material, less metal to remove, and the head may be extruded or otherwise grooved in a quicker way. Lighter to ship.
