Arrgh, over $11 and sold out. :frowning:

I have to say this light from fasttech is not bad
612

I put an XML2 T6 3C on a Sinkpad in mine. Very nice NW light now.

IMO, best zoomer you can get at any price.

I’ve been really impressed by the Black Shadow .Little AAA key chain light. It’s just over the price point, but if you can get it with a coupon…only barely.

i got a 1 aaa tomtop light for 1.99 thats pretty decent… its about 10-15 lumen
and of course the ultra ok single mode sk68 for $5 on ebay

link? :stuck_out_tongue:

These fauxton keyring lights are great value.

this will need some assembly. ….

You’d have to run a 16340, once fasttech has the 18650 hosts back in stock, you could still build an xm-l edc and fall under the $11 limit.

My fav is my $9 Ultrafire C8 - small enough to go in my pocket at work but bright enough to inspect the undercarriage of cars even in opposing backlight.

for under 11 you cant go wrong with this

actual otf lumens is closer to 350-375, but still, its decently driven and has enough cooling to actually use it as a handy pocket light without cooking your hand.

I find it quite durable and value for money…

My favorite ultralow budget (2.45$ shipped) AAA light is this one:
http://www.buyincoins.com/new_en/details/led-torch-mini-flashlight-lamp-aaa-battery-3w-product-920.html

It’s a compact twisty with shitty but working clip, nice design (in my opinion) and relatively good output (outshines all other low price lights from this budget class). Around 10-15lm output, nice “throw” but with rings (since very symmetrical they don’t bother me). NW tint.

Got my ultrafire hd2011 for under ten I think during some promotional buy last year. When I need flood instead of throw, its the light I reach for.

INTERESTING LIGHT…………Do you know the run time ?

I like it……how bright with a eneloop?

Oh and I forgot my all time budget favorite:

Very, very nice CN ebayer, has to be said!!

(Sipik 68 clone, good quality, 3 modes)

roughly 4+ hours with a fenix protected 2600mah 18650, though it gets too hot to hold after about 15 minutes indoors. had it in front of a fan to test runtime, as I always do with a new light. should be considerably longer with panasonic 3400’s. I usually test with the fenix cell first as its protected, and proven itself to be a ‘true’ 2600 mah cell.

Anyone see a pattern?

It looks like BLF is being overrun by Aurabuy shills.

I just got this light the other day. Not bad for an $8 light. Reflector is deep and smooth. It’s got a definitive hotspot with lots of spill around it. Reverse clicky switch. Only thing bad is that it’s next mode memory.
