3 Modes Cree PX-516 R2 LED budget R5-A3?

I could not find anything about this light I just ordered, from vikicompany which seems to be an outlet for Buy In Coins. UltraOK

It looks to share a reworked body tube similar to the TrustFire R5-A3. Its the same size going by the measurements listed, and may share the same 3 mode driver, which would be a good thing.

No flimsy clip.

Looks like an alloy bezel, not stainless steel

R2 instead of R5, probably no big deal on AA, which is what I bought this for

It’s under ten bucks, which makes it less than 2/3rds of the price, so it has made my short list of nice quality lights to gift to friends that would not bother with rechargeable.

Does anyone have one already? If so, what are your thoughts?

It arrived today

Brief first impressions. Although at first glance very similar the the R5-A3, it doesn’t have much in common apart from size and colour.

The PX-516 has a stronger wire clip

It’s bright on an AA

Much thrower. I have not compared them for distance yet.

No memory, starts on high after about one second off.

Low is not as low as the R5. No bad PWM

Considering it’s about half the price of the R5-A3, I think it’s a very decent light. Great for EDC and as gifts for non flashie friends

urri, I hope you're not another tinyspammer.

finally got here! See above
