I am tempted to buy, but I need to know if it really fits a P60...
But thinking that it maybe not, and the frontal glass will be plastic instead, and the switch will fail or will be bad....................... also the reflector maybe plastic.......
I suspect it's a bad copy & paste job or the battery holder would have been pictured. I could be wrong, of course, but that's what usually happens.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the "free shipping" bit was a mistake. The same seller has some other lights that, while mostly competitively priced, don't include free shipping (Skyray for $11 + $9 to the US) and the prices on the lights I checked seem pretty much on par with the competition if you figure in shipping.
Actually i just jammed a 18650 in it and it fit ...that was a surprise ...Still dim as can be ..On the up side it does have a ultra warm light ..a little too brown for me .. kinda dirty .. but i'm sure some would like it .
The body is too cheap for trying to make anything out of it .. just buy a solorforce AAA/18650 for 8$ and be done with it .. it's an ok 3 dollar light ..i'd probably by more to resell but they are barely worth 5 bucks to an un-educated buyer ..Budget light folks will shrug and toss it to the kids . << that is mine with a lexan .. A Q-3 might make it a formidable glove box light .. not sure anyone would spend money to upgrade it . p-60 is worth 3 times the light . not worth the trouble
Well, that's the really nice thing about eBay - if the seller really put bad specs down it's easy enough to start a complaint with eBay and get your money back. I ended up with a Sipik Sk68 for free that way as they had rated it at 300 lumens instead of 200.
Why, exactly? The light was advertised as "300 Lumen Cree Q5", no brand, no picture of any branding or model number. It was only when I got the light that I realized that:
1. It was a Sipik, as there are at least 10 different lights that use that exact same body styling
Similarly, in the above example there are models of the flashlight that are using CREE Leds and hit the specified lumens, and some that apparently are using low-power generics. If you purchase on eBay, you're entitled to that sort of protection.
Gods...that same seller has a torch with a Q5 emitter claiming to hit "up to 500 lumens"....
I can see both sides of this argument...
*On one hand as an informed buyer one knows full well that the output is exaggerated - Much like DX, and I don't here folks complaining when their Aura P7 doesn't hit the claimed 900 lumens. To take advantage of this may be considered bad manners.
*On the other hand, the seller (most likely due to ignorance) is lying out his ass....and should be punished. Anyone want to buy some ebay protected trustfires?
And that's part of the problem. A few weeks back I went ahead and bought one of the "340 Lumen" X2000 lights on ebay. I knew full and well that it would not be anywhere near the 340 lumen it was sold as. It ended up being about the equivilent to my QminiAA on medium. I got a little pissed then got more pissed at myself for being pissed :(. Anyway, these guys get away with selling lights based on these specs to the average Joe who has no idea. I see no problem in calling these guys out when they over sell. Think of it as helping the common un-informed man
I'm a bit busy at the moment so all I have are some unedited and somewhat unimpressive pictures:
Meh: flat-surfaced and apparently uncoated emitter, not very bright at all, thin aluminum walls, thin o-rings, crappy and easily scratched lens.
Pros: works, threads well-lubed, takes 18650s without modification (light has two springs and tailcap may not screw all the way home with protected 18650s), will tailstand, comes with AAA battery holder (so I was wrong about that).
In terms of value, well, compared to the $7 TF-801 from a few months ago, it's wholly unimpressive. Judged on its own merits, it's still not great but then again, you often get what you pay for and for five bucks shipped, I'd say it's okay value. Chances are that if you're reading this, you won't be impressed with this light.
High-resolution pictures coming up in a minute, if my Internet connection decides to play ball.
