Well, I received the lights and I have finished testing on them. They have both been put through a lot of torture and one is dead. Which one? You'll find out when I post pictures and everything else (most likely tomorrow morning)
and i’m guessing my guess was wrong. not the first time of course.
i have the utmost confidence in Old-Lumens, but i’m pretty sure, as has been said before, that these are both going to be junk very soon. now i’m going to go sob…
both survive freezing. uf leakes. neither live through boil. drop test? no problem, oil? no worries, tractor trailer? OL is making a nice mobile out of 2 - dimensional hosts.
During the Intermission I am going to contemplate just how a $50 (or $45, or $35) Chinese light can be made so poorly. I just Googled that light and did not know how much it cost. What a joke. $50 and the plating comes off the reflector, the O rings do nothing? That's a sub $10 light, not a $50 light. My belief in Ultrafire being one of the worst producers of lights has again been reaffirmed.
