Smiling Shark SS-7021

As a follow up to Glassboys post regarding the SS-7021 I went ahead and bought one and wanted to share my findings.

This light has proven to be full of supprises. I sent an email to the sellar asking if a 14500 would be ok to use his response was yes. I went ahead and installed a freshly charged 14500 I had laying around and was greeted with a nice improvemant over the AA.

Decided to make it my first official mod and was ready to de-solder the Osram from it when I noticed the pill was very close in size to the P60 minus the reflector. Grabbed an old low voltage XRE drop-in, removed the reflector and sure enough it fit but is a little loose. Tightened everything up and bam! 3-modes of cree goodness. Runs great on a AA even better on a 14500 but will need some foil to help manage the heat.

Here is the link to the light http://cgi.ebay.com/8W-LED-torch-super-bright-Flashlight-waterproof-7021new_W0QQitemZ170570370920QQcategoryZ16037QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7121932842742237902

I think that is a great looking flashlight. Has kind of a high-end look yet, it is under $8.

I think the same light is at Manafont for $7 even - http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/yiqunn-yq1503-led-flashlight-aa14500-p-4656

I ordered one from chinayyg on ebay on 2/22, and it was delivered here about a week ago...not bad at all. It's nice little light...not my favorite but not bad for $7. I'll have to try it with a 14500.

What LED has? generic?

Funny...

I have this light in my "watch list" on ebay. It really does resemble the one on Manfont for $7. its pay week so may just pick one up to see.
