Do you remember guys the deal at FP when they (due to an error) put the MRV Q5 for about 11-12 $?
Now I have spotted one clone of the MRV Q5 for only 14,60. Don´t know if it is worth, but, maybe anyone is waiting to find this light at low price. I beleive it´s price is good...
That light looks exactly like this one I bought from Ebay for AU $13.00 (Make Offer), the only difference is that the Ebay version has the text "UltraOK Technology" on the side and the Cree logo is a bit different. It is the best thrower I have atm, much better IMO than the Uniquefire HS-801 and its close to useless pencil beam.
Note: in the pictures on Ebay it has a black tailcap button, but the one I got has a GITD button.
I just bought one from them: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120710615523?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Factoring in your free postage, I paid ... quick calculation.. 48 cents more than you did!
Grrr! That does it, i'm gonna "neg" him..
Glad to hear you like it as, tbh, it was an indulgence purchase on my part, a classic case of
"i don't need this but whatthehellit'scheap so I'll buy one anyway".. Embarrassing really, because I know that no one else at BLF would ever let himself be so easily tempted..
There are several happy owners of the UltraOK Super Tactics from topofking on this board.
Since it draws 1.7A, I replaced the plastic reflector with an aluminium one, but as far as I know, other users didn't. Very nice beam for medium throw. One of my favorite lights. So much about the mantra that you get what you pay for...
BTW, topofking was very kind and speedy when I asked for a replacement tailcap, as mine got damaged in transit. I hope they've learned how to package properly by now.
Don, that was me being gently ironic but I appreciate your words of solidarity. Truth is, I think most of us sometimes make purchases we know we don't need (and may end up never using!) I used to do it with Nikon gear, and I still do it with tools. Lucky for me I've never cared about expensive clothes or jewellery..
Ready for the long wait (thanks to routing through the Express Processing Center in Shenzhen, China, as well as the oncoming Chinese New Year holidays ).

Yes, I did click the link and I can see 3 DX cookies in my list now.
But there might not be any DX cookie present at the time I clicked the link, as I delete all "unprotected" cookies (i.e. those that do not bear my subscription data) after every internet session, and the DX cookies aren't set as protected.
