I have the c78 at focalprice, which is an OSRAM, but mine is a hideous shade of blue.
Someone here mentioned the ugly beam, which is somewhat true at flood, but in throw mode it's just the image of the bonding circuit around the OSRAM which I find kind of cool.
On the AA-S1: don't think, just buy. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.24220

Yup, the AA-S1 is very nice indeed! What it lacks is a low mode.

Ok no more thinking, buying now!
Oh yes, if only it had a low mode it would be THE perfect light, bar none.
Thanks agenthex! Interesting. They also have a "yellow" light too. And a lot of other colors...

INFORMATION:
I ordered at DX the AA-S1 on July (1st July). After 15 days waiting for supplier changed to "temporarily stock shortage". I asked them what was happening, and they told me:
"Hello,
Sorry for any inconvenicne.
Sorry to tell you that the item 24220is out of stock in our warehouse.
We are not sure when the item will be back to us.
Would you like to change it or cancel it?
Please advise so that we could help you with our best.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
Yours sincerely,xxxxxx"
PLEASE: if anybody orders it, and IS in stock now, please inform here, because I am crazy in to purchasing this AA-S1 which is for me the second best AA at DX
Thanks

Oh, excuse me. I am not talking about Fenix, itp etc... I am talking about chinese cheap ones, sold at DX.
For me the best AA is the TrustFire F20 (if you get a non-problematic one). Second is the AA-S1 (if there is in stock and get one)

My order status: Order Received - in stock
Is the F20 brighter than the AA-S1? Can it use 14500?

OK that does not means nothing for me, knowing the style of DX.
If it gets SHIPPED, coment here.
Thanks!
Emm: the F20 has a chance of 75% that will be destroyed if you insert a 14500. And yes, is brighter with 14500

When did you placed the order of the AA-S1? Is the ONLY item in the order or there are more items in THAT order?

How do you like it? Got similar lights you can compare with in terms of brightness?

The question is for agenthex, but I can answer.
As most people at DX say, is a P7 in miniature (exagerating a little). You can light a whole room with it pointing to the ceiling.
It is a good flooder (not very good thrower). It has very good overall brightness, thats why I ordered a month ago (i am unlucky)
Now..... I am wrong? Do comments at DX forums are true?
EDIT: excuse me, I am talking when using 14500
