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

If you've done six impossible things before breakfast, why not round it off with dinner at Milliway's, the restaurant at the end of the universe? 8)
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.
Boom…ordered 4…kids Christmas stocking stuffers if they make it here fast enuff
I bought one of those a while back and got a solid pill that made it easy to modify. Best #3 Zoomie out of many tries.
I (stupid, stupid, stupid!) bought three more recently.
They came in the same nice color-printed Rustu cardboard box.
But they’re crap now, same crap #3s you get for $2.99 on eBay that makes you feel burned when it arrives.
Burned, burned, burned.
Hollow pill, dirty dinged up pill, almost no ledge inside for heat transfer at all, BLUE-white emitter, oil inside on the threads which are pretty chewed up looking.
Oh, and the threads no longer even match the threads on the “3W Police” lights that used to work as extension tube donors.
Even cuter — although no review appears from me on the DX page, they won’t let me review it saying I reviewed it previously.
Okay, it was my turn on the big lottery spin, I had gotten decent products and decent treatment from DX for several years in a row.
They got me this time.
EDIT — and they did give me a refund —
BUT NOTE: I asked several times to change the old review on their site, when I praised the earlier version — and they never let that happen.
I can’t believe none of the Hugsbys made the list.
The XP-1 and XP-2 are superb quality AAA lights for the price (around $5).
Likewise the P31 for AA.
you’re right!
I have xp-1 and is very good, and the xp-2 in on his way 
Maybe they are not here because we all have buy them on 11.11 deals on aliexpress. Serching last days, I’ve found only one or two seller with a budget price for Xp-2!
I am thinking about it, but like the others model, the only cons is sometime is difficoult to push the bottom to start. If they will have a better tailcap, probably will be the best budget flashlight around!
I’ve been wanting to order both Hugsby’s but they don’t accept paypal. How do you get
them w/out using a CC?
