Hi everyone.
I purchased the Ultrafire C8 Cree-XM-l T6 5Mode a couple of months ago. The bulb is supposed to last for something like 50,000 hours, but it has already stopped working properly. It still works, but the light is very faint.
Here is a link with more information on the flashlight I purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370484544741&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
Here is the flashlight description which I copied from the link:

So which bulb should I get for this flashlight? Which is the best one available yet affordable?
Thanks everyone.
EDIT: I have checked my battery voltage and have tried like 5 different fully charged batteries. I'll try to open the flashlight and see if there is anything that might look odd to me. I'm not very good with wires and what not though. I know very little about that, but I'll give it a shot.
