where get now sk68 (or similarAA zoom) with solid pill?

Hi guys
before in old days I got a dozen of sk68 from different sellers
good light,but all are with hollow pill
apart that often is a lottery.
wich chinese sellers can check and have these sk68 with solid pill?
what you think about the Ultrafire AT-007 on sale in DX?
Thanks

None from China; they don’t know what they’re selling, but nobody has reported a solid pill SK68 for a long while.

Mtnelectronics for a while had one with a known solid pill, but they’re out of stock

A bit expensive, but http://www.dx.com/p/singfire-sf-117b-cree-xm-l-t6-700lm-3-mode-white-zooming-flashlight-black-1-x-aa-1-x-14500-191024#.VkV4viArL0o definitely has a solid pill.

When switched to full brightness, it gets fairly warm with a 14500 but not unbearably so.
It seems to have a reasonably decent (current-wise) driver.

I’ll definitely be swapping out the XM-L with an XM-L2 or something soon.

you can try this one ,it’s not only the pill it is a sipik68 clone but in my opinion it’s a better built one and DOES ha e a solid aluminum pill I have used these to xplv5 and dd fet and booster drivers ;$5.25 UINFIRE B68 Cree XP-E R2 240-Lumen 1-Mode Zooming LED Flashlight - 1*AA / 1*14500 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

You need to get somebody to stock it and post a coupon.

According to that link, you could purchase the pill ($0.30, w/o shipping) alone.

does no one like this one?

I still like finding solid-pill cheap hosts —suitable back plane to use 10mm square Rebel and PC Rebel emitters

I was was gifted an SK68 that someone paid $7.00 at Tractor Supply. From what I can see, thru the bubble pack, it contains an XP-G2 or XP-E2. The claim is only 70 Lumen, probably on an AA. I will do a tear down tonight and see what it’s got.
Solid pill?
3 mode driver?
What emitter?
Does it run on AA and 14500?
etc.

Because an decent ’68 is hard to come by now, all the more reason I want a source. Others probably do too.

clone I’ve built up a few of them and they handle and they they disperse heat well.

I’ve seen them before. Could try in package. Didn’t seem as bright as others. Maybe because of the packaging. Let us know how it does compared to ones off ebay and such. If it is the same then I guess 70 would be the official lumen count. Seems like it should be higher to me even on alkalines.

I’ve been wondering where to get a good SK68 too.

Could you post a link? I tried to figure out how to order, but I don’t really read kanji, and I can’t seem to find it.

The FT one actually claims, as of a couple months ago, to have a solid pill, see the Questions link

I looked at it, it looks like the confirmation was in 2013. The one in April. The September one was never answered. :frowning: if I’m looking at it correctly :frowning:
