I received mine the other day and ordered 3 more. It is VERY well made for the price. Reminds me of the TANK007 lights. My protected 14500 do not fit because they are too long. I am using AA's and I am happy with the output.
So given that new Fasttech light is next mode memory, what will it take as an improvement?
Diameter of the pill? What’s behind the LED, air or aluminum?
Pregulla find. $5 for one, $14 for 3. Been playing with it stock tonight. Really good deal. More info here.
My “Green Dwarf” just arrived from GearBest and the base is indeed magnetic! Pretty strong, too. The over-all build quality is good, better than the pictures suggest, and the light passed the mid-day “bathroom test” just fine.
Just got my 2 in, the star is sitting on a solid shelf, no thermal compound
Little plastic reflector
I am sure next mode memory pencil lead trick will cure the next mode memory, it is a twisty after all
Modes are H>NOT SO LOW LOW>STROBE
No pill…the shelf is part of the head…I will get pics and measurements asap
overall it feels pretty good, not too bad for the $5~ paid for em
Just bought two more of the same #3
This time, I got the hollow-pill version instead of the good ones with a solid back plane for the emitter to sit on.
Which screws up using the square 10mm boards I’ve been getting that fit the solid ones perfectly centered.
Anyone know a source for the #3s with solid pills?
Does your #2 also work with AAs? How is it compared to a zoomy?
Just spotted number two for cheap, but it says 14500 only:

Nice looking one.
Looks like the seller put some random data in the description 
I have that light, ordered from wallbuys or banggood on a promotion….
It’s a lantern light with a aspheric on top. It is a18650 light which came with a 3xAAA adapter.
There is no heatsinking just a small pill which sits on plastic and because of the design it has no connection to the body. Very dim in stock form, I modded it a bit but it is not much better now.
I have one similar, very good throw for so small
Don’t like the UI, H>L>STROBE>OFF, must go thru epileptic seizure mode to turn it off…but it IS a bright little booger!
huh, Pregulla’s link is to an AAA zoomie, if the picture showing it with an AAA battery, and part of the text, are to be believed.

Then again it claims it would also use a 14500, and that it’s waterproof.
$2.40

I need to purchase a few SK-68 clones for some coworkers this year. I just need a good quality, single mode torch that runs well on AA batteries. Who selling the best clones these days? There are so many sellers on ebay that I don’t know who is selling crap and who is selling quality torches. Thanks
> sellers on ebay … don’t know who is selling crap and who is selling quality torches.
Fixed that for ya. Welcome to the lottery.
I like the look of this UltraFire AT-007 AA/14500 zoomie from FastTech for $4.77.
Available in this ugly color combo as well…$4.77.
Looks like a nice AA prospect for gifting.
It occurred to me to buy one of each and swap bezels — blue/black for cool white stock, and red/gold for a neutral white or amber mod …
if these by some wild chance come with a mod-friendly solid pill instead of the expected hollow pill … but no, I can’t be that optimistic.
Clone (of the SolarStorm), just hit the wire
Anybody know about this 1xAA Powerlight B21 side-switch light? I can’t find it anywhere but WB. :~
$3.08-$3.25/ea. Depending on qty.
