one question what does my post 63 have to do with it ?
i was testing a TrustFire TR-3T6 Triple XM-L T6 5-Modes Memory LED Flashlight (3x18650)
i was not testing a TrustFire TR-3T6 Triple XM-L T6 5 Modes LED Flashlight (2x18650 two diffrent things i believe.
2 x 18650 modle is claimed 8.4v max regulated at 2.5 amp
3 x 18650 model is claimed 12.6v max regulated at 3 amp (this is the one i was testing)
so your suggesting to buy a TR-3T6 2 x 18650 (and sugesting you can run 3 x 18650,s) off ebay for $55.58 usd not bad price if it is shipped from brooklyn usa but then add $4.80 usd for the extension tube that might blow up your torch, total $60.38 usd. manafont sell the same thing shipped for $53.95.
but the ebay seller works out more costly and the shipping time would be about the same internationaly so no joy for us interantional guys looks like this ones for the usa boy,s, shipping time from the usa to australia is about the same or more as shipping to from manafont for me any way, (i personaly i would not make two order for the same thing plus pay more for it and the fact that it might get damaged the first time you use 3 x 18650 in it)
there is alot of sellers that claim they are local on ebay but drop ship the items and shipping time is the same or worse it is most likely not the case but it could be, i brought a poineer mp3 player for my car from perth western australia but it was drop shipped from asia not to mention alot of other items lolls.
you can buy the realy deal the TR-3T6 3 x 18650 from manafont for $55.80 (no extra extention tubes needed) and thats the one i would suggest buying and thats the one i was testing on post number 63 you linked and the entire thread, its claimed 12.6v max and has a higher claimed regulation of 0.5 amps so more light out put and you can run 2 x 18650,s or 3 x 18650 for longer run times and longer between charging, but buy what you want from where you want guys.
i would suggest to buy the TR-3T6 3 x 18650 and the only place that sells the TR-3T6 3 x 18650 is Manafont i hope people read the whole thread and just didnt go off and buy the TR-3T6 2 x 18650 and extention tubes thinking they could run 3 x 18650,s in it as it might damage it.
p,s the light will not throw 1000 meters like the ebay seller claimes either around 150 meters is it and its a massive wall of light great torch
i do not work for manafont or trustfire but i thought i should pipe in as i belive my thread was linked out of contexted i would hate to see people damage there lights but buy what you want from where you want guys its a great torch that will provide long run times and will last unlike some others you will love it.
