1xCR123 flashlight with magnetic selector ring

They are ok, I ordered from them many times.

OMG. I just bought the 16340 version 1 minute before reading there is a 18650 version. :)

Expect a review in a few weeks. I have a 16340 trusty around i bought sometime ago and nowehere to use since the SS-004 died way too many times to be worthy to consider.

Yeah, I like the looks of the 16340 model but not the 18650 version. Proportioned all wrong.

That 18650 does sound interesting. I'll wait for the reviews to see if it works decent though.

Thanks for the heads up. :)

A 18650 SR3 clone for $12.22? Why yes, I'll take a couple. ;)

How did you get it for $12.22?

Lol I thought the 18650 version was prettier... Still out of proportion, but more acceptable than the 16340 version.

I still think its too overworked.. and the colours... omg.

Ill still take my nitecore extremes over the SR3 type, although if the UI of the SR3 clones are anything like the SR3, that would be truly awesome!

I used "10%eBay110" for 10% off and using any legitimate user name gets you another 5% off (mine is "OxyMoron"). I'm not sure about the former but the latter only works if you don't already have an account (no biggie, just use a different email address).

Edit: Full disclosure: Apparently, I get points... or something if you use my username. At least that's what I gather from what they have on their website. It doesn't really make sense to me but I thought I'd mention it.

It means they copied the specs of the SR3? Wonder what the hardware part of it is.... haha I dont see a part that could move in the clone.. what appears to be heatsink fins could be just that.. heatsink fins.

Of if those are part of the moving ring, then the torch does'nt have a much improved heatsink area over normal torch bodies.

I’m inclined to believe those fins are just the ring and it has lousy cooling. I still want one though. :wink:

Hope it's as good as these 18650 and 16340

They look like the exact same thing only pricier.

I just ordered the second one too. Too po fo a (real) niteco.

I've questioned the sr3 alot and considered selling it a couple of times but it's well made and has a few features that are just nice .. one is the fact it face plants well ..I;m sorry but I'm getting tired of touching a light and having it fall over and take out my whole collextion like dominos . the bigger reflector makes for a nicer beam and it's built really well .I had to buy these just to see . if the 18650 tube fits the sr3 it would be a miracle.. one can hope .

But they come in a gift box with a charger and a battery.

Did you order one from them? they don’t state the shipping charges up front.

Foy, where did you order yours? the original link or the one with the gift box, battery and charger? If the latter, how much was shipping? I’d like to orde r some as gifts from the latter but they don’t tell you shipping prices until after you place the order.

“Cooling fins” on the real SR3 are just the selector ring too. Shouldn’t be any worse at cooling than the real thing.

Johnny - I ordered this one. http://www.buyincoins.com/details/led-cree-q5-magnetic-control-switch-flashlight-torch-2-product-4147.html And shipping was free.
