I have done price match request at DX to see if DX lowers the price.
The KD one, I can not see if it really is an XPG. Difficult to see. But I think it is xpg
14500 only?? forget that!!! the description is bad, in the title says 14500 and in the box says "1xAA"
I hope these LiFePO4 cels with lower voltages can give a good compromise between light and fire :)
Love this torch on high, it’s like the budget v10r in terms of output. Beam is also similar, except the hotspot is wider (and more doughnutty), but overall beam shape, distribution and output are similar.
Mines the early dx generation with turbo/high/strobe on 14500, and high/high/strobe on Nimh
Interested to know what driver the kd one is, and if it’s ready for the mode selection mod
The product descriptions at KD at shamefully incomplete and blatantly inaccurate. So I wouldn't assume anything about 14500 or AA compatibility.
It certainly looks to be an XP-G in the photos. Not that it means much but I notice they have a AA next to it in some of the shots also.
I really wish they would realise that less is more when it comes to text on a flashlight, "Caution hot surface" if it's hot enough for it to matter then you've already done something very wrong.
I don't like flashlights with poor heatsinking, either. It's one of my many hang-ups. Also, if McDonald's coffee is so hot that it causes third-degree burns, guess what: it's too f***ing hot! 
McDonald's deserves every hot coffee lawsuit that goes their way.
I disagree if you spill a drink on your self that you know is made with boiling water then it is you own fault.
I realize there a tons of people that will disagree with my McDonald's statement. Instead of arguing I will simply provide a link to a website that sums up The Actual Facts About - The Mcdonalds' Coffee Case.
Unless I've imagined it there is an 18650 sized light that looks very much like the Trustfire R5-A3, does anyone happen to know what it's called?
The Yezl Z1X XML looks like it's big brother.
Well guys I have a confession, as bad as I wanted to be the guinea pig on this (and save a few bucks too) I could not bring myself to it. I waited to long to be able to get this torch with a usable low so I ordered the higher priced one from DX. Since my funds have been tight lately I wanted to make sure I got what I wanted.
One is on the way to my humble dwelling. Im pretty sure its the same as the DX one. But we´ll find out.
Oh Oh Oh!!!
I did a price match at DX and they dropped the price from 18,11 to 17,99 (puargggggg)
Ey guys! Please all of you make a price match on DX to ask to drop the price to 14 dollars as Kaido
More people asking for price drop, more the price will be dropped
Here is the form

Thanks!
Just buy it from KD. 
It's XP-G At least on pics, don't know if it's actual product pics.
1+
Haven't bought anything from them, but looks like they are good enough.
BTW, they've added full description
I ordered from KD a coeple of times now. Never had any problems with the order. I think its comparabale to DX in shipping terms
OK Fran I filled out a price match as well. Thanks for the link it made it easy!
KD is Ok and shipping fast lately. Ordered a R5 star the other day. The day after it said "Shipped".
SP someone has to hold DX’s hand and explain why they should do what they said they will do ?? not sure I understand that one …A price match matches or it doesn’t … this one doesn’t … will they match shipping times too?? DX is gone terrible … wanting to hang out in their stupid forum is no excuse for allowing DX to torture people with 6 month waits on lights …Someone call me when DX gets their act together …I’ll be a guinie pig for KD but DX Is getting stupid these days .
