Yea that’s the good thing with Aliexpress. Their buyer’s protection is much better than Banggood. I’ve disputed with BG several times and although I got what I wanted each time, it took more effort and a longer process. I just wish the prices on Ali could match BG.
Well at least you got your refund.
I’m curious as to whether that is really 18650 or if it is actually AA/14500. From the picture the cut of the lens and heatsink fins looks closer to the standard AA version than the Aleto N8’s 18650 version.
Yeah, I got the Nicron N81 because I saw it here and liked the look of it - and the blinky modes are part of the main sequence.
However, I’m okay with that since it doesn’t have mode memory, and also doesn’t have a lot of brightness modes - if I missed the one I wanted, it’s simple enough to turn the light off and try again.
Anyone used the Wuben L60, which will be on sale for $25.83 on 11/11 and could be even cheaper with coupons
The Wuben LT35 Pro looks interesting too but is not on sale.
The reflector is painted white instead of black. I’m guessing it minimize lumen loss.
The L60 is on sale for ~$18 at amazon
There’s not much search results for L60 but The LT35 (not pro) looks remarkably similar to L60
I was going to order it for that price but turns out the code doesn’t work. Guess it is expired. The LT35 Pro looks like a smaller head version of the L60.
This seems to be one of the smallest AA zoomies, 20x90 mm:

Would like to get one but a little cheaper. 
First of all, thanks for updating this thread when you find stuff like this.
This particular light (host) has my interest indeed. I’ve been on the lookout for a E-switch zoomie with a USB port on the side. I’ve seen a few with the USB port on the tailcap but I want it on the side in direct contact with the driver as I’ve developed drivers with support for flashing by USB port. It’s probably a junk host as it is but with luck maybe it can be modded.
I’m glad to see that this is useful. 
Skywolfeye B17. 2*AA penlight with 19 mm diameter according to specs. If that’s true, it would make it the slimmest AA zoomie I’ve seen so far. I wonder if we’ll see a single cell variant…actually I wouldn’t be surprised if the unbranded light that I posted a while ago was just that. Though it was listed as 20 mm and I actively searched for a 1*AA skywolfeye like that - and I failed to find it.
Are they any zoomie flashlight that worth putting osram white flat
There are quite a few….and far too few at the same time. The question is what is your prefered format.
Size? Battery? Push pull or twisty? Other important perks?
I like the looks of this one
At around $10 I wouldn’t expect much from it, I just like the way it looks 
Whoa, I could be OB1 Kenobi with that thingy! 
OB1 Kenobi would use one with 18650 cell
That's bigger than a 1504, and with a side switch that's hopefully an e-switch. Interesting...
Also available (for less ;-) money) in AliExpress:
The car will not be bad if it is pressed… 
In specifications it reads:
Switch mode | 4 mode: 100% - 75% - 50% - flash :facepalm:
Looks good but replacing the driver could be a challenge. Nothing is said of the emitter but guess most people here don't really care. :-D
Interesting host. I wonder what that 7 die LED is.
