Yeah, this one was a gamble. like I had said earlier if you look at the pic in the decription one of them clearly shows a C8. A friend of mine in Queens ordered this same sku a month or two ago and got the G4 body, but ordered on this daily deal and got the C8 as I did.
What they may be doing out of the Brooklyn warehouse is substituting the C8 for the G4.
I spoke to him tonight just to ask which one he received to see if mine was just a one off.
I am happy, Hope anyones shipped from Brooklyn is a C8. post your loot :)
One thing that's worth pointing out perhaps, is that Tmart has a presence in the US (in NJ, if I recall correctly) and there's a chance that at least customers based in the lower 48 states will receive a different item than the rest of the world. Back in January, Tmart had a 502b Q5 on sale for five bucks and some change (no doubt a mistake on their part) and while the US warehouse send out a free charger and an unprotected 18650 (neither of which were even mentioned on their webpage) along with the flashlight in a nice box, the rest of the world got just the flashlight and the battery in some bubble wrap.
People were saying they got the c8 when they bought this: http://www.tmart.com/UltraFire-G4MCU-5W-400-Lumens-CREE-Q5-5-Mode-LED-Flashlight-with-Strap_p100656.html
I was asking if everyone got the c8 or what, because it's a good deal at the normal price.
The light arrived today in the mail which was a nice surprise because I had totally forgotten about it.
It's very nicely built with good machining, clean threads and the wall of the body is rather thick. The lens had some finger print coating on it, but the reflector luckily is clean. It's five mode w/ mem, and the SOS spells SOO (won't stay so for long). The pill is the modding friendliest I have come across so far with a retaining ring for the driver. The beam is pencil tight, should throw well even with a XP-G I intend to put in. Trustfire flames fit well in, the XTAR 2600 is very tight.
Unfortunately I cannot really test this light because it's not getting real dark anymore this time of the year where I live. The big emitter in the sky is only entering moon-mode for some time around 01:00. :(
I have only one regret regarding this light: Why have I only ordered one?
I've also got it today. Nice body and quite good throw. Driver doesn't have memory and SOS is SOO as Huny74 said already. It is also looking good to be moded to XM-L or so.
Same regret as Huny74 - I should buy more for that price.
The UltraFire G4-MCU 5W 400 Lumens CREE Q5 5 Mode is once again up for voting...
Will sell for 11.31$ if it gets enough votes.
I think that regardless of this deal, if we vote enough times for flashlights they'll put more flashlights in the daily deals, which is good for us. :)
