Skyray STL-V2/Fandyfire STL-V6 vs Ultrafire 2010

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Between these 2 lights what do you think is the better buy?

The fandyfire is $45 at DX http://www.dealextreme.com/p/fandyfire-stl-v6-cree-xm-lt6-2-mode-1000-lumen-white-led-flashlight-2x18650-3x16340-3x123a-91137?item=2

The HD2010 is $34 at TMART http://www.tmart.com/UItraFire-CREE-XMLT6-8W-1300-Lumen-5-Mode-LED-Flashlight-Gray_p135765.html

I know the fandy/skyray might throw a bit better but is the increase in price worth it? Is the 2x 18650 configuration of the fandyfire going to benefit runtime or lumens significantly?

Thanks!

For 30$ I choose 2010.
I have also ordered Small Sun T13 from Manafont for 24$ but I think 2010 is the winner.

i remember seeing a seller at alieexpress selling the stl v2 for $37.
so almost same price. it really just depends on you now. if you want a shorter light that has more flood and spill, then the hd 2010.

but if you dont mind the longer light, get the stl. but then again, its also not as floody.

Hm, to me, HD2010 has pencil beam :bigsmile: So how throw beam pattern should look like for you then? :open_mouth:

Thanks bro! I hope I don’t get some uniquefire or some other light instead!

Short and stubby 26650 versus long skinny 18650. near identical ~40-45K Lux.

I went with stubby because I find it a little easier to pack carry.

Nah I started another thread about that. Someone linked me to some green 18650 panasonics which I’ve read are decent even though they may be unprotected, but the seller is tacking on $10 shipping for the batteries. I want to pay $15 for a pair of batteries, not more than that. Can’t seem to find a good option.
