Darn it all to heck !!!! I want one .... But which one ?

If its slow enough I can see it , but it does not bother me in any shape or form ...

Hopefully well regulated ...

But Ive wanted a multimode AAA with a tail clicky for a long time ...

The price was $33 + 3 for shipping , + waiting for CPF discount + won $26 in the lottery [ WOW = $26 smackers ] SO I ordered it ... WTF ! I dont have a wife or kids or a habit , ok a small flashlight addiction that costs less than smoking or drinking ...

Get the AAA...It's cute, has a clip and it is multi-mode! Yep I said cute lol

The Voice: "If you buy it, they will come." :D

I've sent him a lot of business..we will see if he can deliver the goods ..when we get lights .I'm curious about the stainless steel myself . This will be my first stainless steel light .

It took a lot of time to get here but they came after getting lost in the hong kong post log jam .

The AAA stainless steel light has a nice clip and is a higher shine light but needs a better clicky as other blf members mentioned .it's odd and to small and sorta sucks the light is just fair as far as lil lights go what do you expect / It's tiny and not that interesting ..BUT i haven't put in a 14440 either ..

the Yezl Z-1 kicks some serious butt . it's a 18650 its 3 mode no disco and besides the stupid mild green hue it's a great 25 $ light..

the stainless steel B2SN-light is AA 3 mode 10% $40% 100%xpg-r5 it's not as knurled as I'd like but I like a lot of knurl, it's also not as shiney as you'd think stainless would be .it's a lillte more toned down .the electric switch is much better than on the little AAA light. the output is pretty good and I'm guessing lumens here but I'm probably pretty close at 180 hi/70/30 with a AA eneloop BUT on a 14500 it's almost double .. like 320/120/50 lumens it's so bright I was stunned ..it's bright like 18650 p-60 lights with xpg's //output wise i'm very very impressed ,finish wise i want more knurling and it has some sharp edges top and bottom .i hate to call them sharp but i personally want softer rounder corners and have thought about going to town with a file and 20 different grits of sandpaper ..it's heavy but not terrible .. the B2s is 100grams .. tint is fine cool white it's a nice light

The B9 is crazy heavy and has the same sharp edges .. much shinier and 1000 times heavier .. it's like a roll of quarters . heavy .did i say heavy , and the same outup as it;s brother .. it screams .. it is very very damn bright so much so it almost loses it's ability to have a low mode since the total output across the board doubles from like 30 lumens to 50 on low 70/120med and 190 /320.. it's bright and the knurling on this guy is 1/4 inch bumps that get your attention .it's pretty big for a AA It is almost the exact same size as the BLF AAY4E light 145grams with a AA nmh same tint as the b2s not a thing wrong with it nothing bad to report just white .Doesn't change on either light , absolutely no color shift no matter how much power ..maybe a lil rosey on low but unnoticable ..

PWM on all lights is undetectable .. thank god !!!

The L2 n-light is maybe the least interesting of them all but not a bad light either it's an r2 18650 and pure knurl head to toe , normal reverse clicky black rubber boot and 3 nicely spaced modes 10 /40 /100% Lumens probably 20/80/200 No disco strobe modes ,no pwm a little bit pink,tint but lots of r2's are so it's not a surprise and it's not terrible either .it's a nice light I can't say much bad about it , it might be nicer in a AA size ,it's very clean lines and softer smoother edges makes it a clean design .

Overall these lights are a step above the regular dx fare and have sucessfully eliminated the sos and strobe for all those who hate it and don't want to pay for it and then pay again for a different driver and then break out the soldering iron.

Thanks for the report ...

Might have to see about the B2SN ....

I put a mechanical clicky [ reverse ] in my AAA and its so easy to us now .. [ use great care = 10440 ] check to make sure it does not short out at the head , needs to be a 10440 with a small button top just like a AA ..

Hey Boaz, thanks for the great report! Do you think you could take a comparison photo of them all side by side? That would be amazing if ya could :)

Boaz - How does the B2SN compare with the Eastward YJ J09? Brightness, spacing, etc...

Sam

i totally agree with the clicky on the AAA is a pain in the a**I got the 2 mode instead of the three and I ordered the 3 in the neutral I don’t know if I got a neutral . I said i’d wait longer for the 3 mode version he has run out of .i waited a long time and got the 2 mode so .i put it away very quickly and haven’t played with it much at all… I got my lights early in the morning ,and it didn’t impress me in the day BUTeverything looks better at night . it is actually looking better … i just want the 3 mode . i think i was pushing the finicky switch thinking … where the hell is 3rd gear ??

I wanted to take some pics of my lights but I sorta see it as bragging ..lets just say ..i have way too many lights

lol. Boaz, this is BLF. We all share the same 'problem'. If you post photos and 'brag', im sure most of us will just admire :)

The photos on cnqualitygoods are excellent but they don't really provide a visual comparison for sizes which is what i was wondering. However I know its sometimes a pain to get photos onto a computer, so no worries!

Boaz - How does the B2SN compare with the Eastward YJ J09? Brightness, spacing, etc...//////

That's an interesting question because they are very similar although my eastward is the 4 mode r3 xpe not the xpg r5 like the n-light b2s They are surprisingly almost the same barring the low low mode ..low med and high ..same same same .But the tints are polar opposites the b2s shows it's little green tint and the eastward shows the pink .not bad at all and . both mostly on lower modes which is better than on high and with a 14500 in the b2s it blows the crap out of the eastward the medium might be brighter than the high on the eastward new battery in the eastward too and it was pulling huge numbers of amps last i checked .24 / .40/ 1.40/2.60amps low low med high eastward on a eneloop@ 1.3 volts a lil low .. ..with the 14500 there's no contest low looks like med and med. looks like high then the b2s goes to high and you start looking for big lights to compare it to .real big ones EDIT::: i did look at all my p60 drop ins .. it smokes every light I have ..all of them the B9 is the same light different body .. they're bright .. big time bright

Gah! That's not what I wanted to hear about that b2sn..... Now I need to add another light to the "want" list.

Thanks Boaz!

Boaz, can you tell me the size of the b2sn? comparable size to another (common) budget light? I just want to get an idea for the size of this light. I dont want another bright AA light that is as big as an 18650 light (like my mr.lite J4 and BLF-Y4E)

yezl z1/ B9 / B2S / BLF light / L2 n-light / Solarforce w/optional rubber bands..

wow that is perfect boaz! I appreciate that a ton!

took me like a week to do it

Wow! Nice collection there Boaz.

Thats very cool Boaz!

Admiration :)

Its a really compact light the B2S N

This thread is about old4570s' AAA stainless steel light

which I formerly bashed but it's growing on me

okwchin if you think the 2BS is small you need to see the AAA.. it's almost the exact same size as a 701 or 1 703 AAA tank ..maybe a 1.4 inch shorter ..and obviouslyheavy .. it's got a great shine on it where the b2s is the dullest of them all and the 2 mode is actually ok , maybe it's even better but Old4570 is right the clicky isn't so hot .. on the bigger models it's ok but in the tiny version ... nope it sorta sucks .. i'm gonna give it a chance .. sadly it's up against a EX10 nitecore right now and losing
