Trustfire A8 "Clone" spotted at DX

I think you are correct Garry………… I think I even put that 4xaaa carrier in my real HD2010 and it fit and powered up… But that might be just a figment of my decaying memory……. :~

Yep, this one.

nice lights…damn you guys… $20 here… $20 there… next thing you know i’ll spent enough to buy me a Fenix RC40 :wink:
lately i’m into 26650 light, it feel much better in my hand than 18650 light, especially the mod’ed ones :smiley:
i really need to stay away from BLF, can’t help myself… argghh

The anodized threads on the Sky Eye are a nice improvement. It's too bad they didn't add lanyard holes, particularly holes that would allow perfect tail standing. That would've been enough for me to buy one just so I could try swapping the tube with my BLF A8.

I’ll be getting one of these. I’ll let you guys know how it is

Good! Anxious to hear about it!

I forgot to get measurements on my 4AAA carrier and a sample of 26650 lights. I'll try to post back with that info. soon.

-Garry

i hope it really has no memory, and is driven harder than 1200mah
ill be able to do a true apples to apples comparison with this and the BLF A8
to be honest, they had contacted me and asked if i was willing to do a light review for them. i wanted to do a different light, one that was very interesting and no reviews on or really anything. but they wanted to send this light instead.
i havent totally decided yet, but i may do some sort of giveaway with it when im done… but dont hold me to it :stuck_out_tongue:
edit: this host is cheaper than the trustfire a8s i have seen, and has anno’d threads, comes with 18650 and 3xAAA adapters. may be a decent deal at the asking price

Created a new thread here for discussion of 3xAAA vs. 4xAAA vs. 26650's size comparisons.

Now DX added the UF LZZ-F15, identical at first sight to the sky eye 15, about 0.30$ cheaper XP

Who knows about the quality of both (which is the better…)

I see they also added Ultrafire versions of the other Sky Eye's!

-Garry

Now the million dollar question: which one to buy? Which will have the best quality?

How much you wanna bet they're identical? :)

-Garry

hmmm… remember what happen with Aurora / Ultrafire. They seem identical but then one have bad threads, etc

Got this light today. Will be sure to let you guys know what I think about it tonight.hope its in the same league as the a8

Great! Anxious to hear some thoughts in comparison to the BLF A8. Nearly identical build quality? Vastly different?

-Garry

I don't know, won't be able to comment on it until I get home. My fiance just sent me a pic of it. Looks nice in the pic though lol

well, good and bad. for most of us the bad is minor.

the good:

the light pulls 2.8a on high. the machining feels as good as the blf a8. i like the isolation disk on this f15 more.

the not so good:

next mode memory. slight blemishes on the finish around the scalloping on the tail cap.

i still need to do a tear down, review and comparison. so stay tuned. will most likely be this weekend

Thanks Pulsar. Looking forward to the full review. I'm really learning to hate "next mode memory"!

-Garry

This is actually my first with next mode memory. It's useless. They should have just done no memory.

There are some interesting things to note comparing the a8 and f15... But I will leave those for later
