Starter Set

My buddy saw a few flashlights I have and basically said "I want one." So I'm trying to put together a nice starter set for him including flashlight/battery/charger. Here's what I initially thought "budget wise."

UltraFire WF-501B Flashlight

TrustFire TR-001 Charger

Trustfire 18650 2400 mAh Batteries

I read through the Top 10 List and I think the 501B might be a good addition considering it includes the host and XM-L emitter for $14. Plus everything could be ordered/shipped from Manafont. Any other suggestions are welcome. (we might find a new member to the forum here. haha)

I think what you have there is pretty good for the price. I would search around and try to find a 504 instead if the 501. Much nicer. How about a kd c8

Exactly what I was thinking

I like the 502 and 504 better than the 501, could you stretch you budget a little on the light?

I would go with the XinTD C8 even though I don't have one.

C8 with XM-L, ML-102 or MP1 charger and Xtar 2600/Sanyo 2600 battery

Just as a note, ML-102 is way better option because it follows CC/CV profile (while MP1 doesn’t).

MP1 is close to CC/CV (CC till 4V)

Doesn't looks anywhere near CC/CV to me, to be honest.

This is CC/CV:

CC till 4V.

So approximation to a CC/CV charger.

ML-102 and MP1 are both good chargers. But ML-102 is faster.
