It's been listed since 2017 at best, rated at 700 lumens, and it's driven at 2.4 amps, as the KD listing says. No way can it do 700m (meters) like the Amazon listing says - Ali store says 200-300 meters.
For $10, probably still a good deal. Maybe that wrist holder is worth the $10 alone. Reviewer on Ali says it requires long (protected) 26650.
Feels much better built than any $20 Harbor Freight light. I like it a lot more than a couple of Coast brand lights I bought from Home Depot for around $30 - $35.
The magnetic ring that you turn to go through the mode/levels has a good quality feel to it. With a battery in it, the feel of the DF008 is solid and comfortable. It’s a quality made product.
I left it on for ten minutes on the high level in my office, and it didn’t even begin to get warm. It starts off on strobe, but you can quickly and easily spin right past it to get to the light levels. Though I don’t think strobe is necessary on a 700lm torch, much less a dive light. I think I only see two light levels, to my eyes anyways.
Luckily one of my Wowtac 26650 batteries is long enough to use in the TrustFire, I tried a Shockli, and a Sofirn 26650 5500mAh batteries but they did not work in the TrustFire. Those batteries were to short and rattled around in the torch.
So, for $10 the TrustFire is really good. Too bad it didn’t come with the wrist holder seen in pictures, but that can be ordered for another $10.
Ahh, sounds good! But a shame it didn't come with the wrist holder. Think they said it came with a holster and assumed they meant the wrist thing. I got a couple dive lights. They typically use the mag ring because they are leak proof and tend to be thicker. Some come with a very thick lens that will lose some output.
Guess that one reviewer was correct about the battery lengths.
Ok, my bad. My wife had taken the wrist holder out of the box and left it on the kitchen table when she placed the opened box with the torch on my desk. It does come with a wrist holder. Apologies for that.
Also, there is another “off” between strobe and the other “ons” - so you don’t have to cycle through strobe every time. It goes Main Off - Strobe - Off - High - Low.
It is solid. Beam not the greatest. A bit of fried egg seems to me.
Definitely a good deal for a diver or for someone needing a solid flashlight.
For me with plenty of lights already - a $10 impulse buy that I don’t have to feel too guilty about.
I ordered 4 with the code to get free shipping since I am not an Amazon Prime member (and all were discounted).One for the wife and three for gifts to some soon to be very excited grand-nieces.
Thank you forum member "bansuri" for posting the deal. This is a great forum thanks to contributions from members like yourself.
One of the images in that Amazon listing shows 300m range.
