I fancy the 567 - with a neutral R4 it'd be a nice (if short runtime) light. 3 modes with no flashies is good. I already have two E07s - one of those with a two mode like the EzAA would be nice. Zoom lights just don't do it for me.
color me ignorant. how does this kind of buy work?
does one order a specific sku from said manufacturer once it is organized? some other route?
First two lights for me,
4 mode starting from super low
No extenction tube if this can cut the price
No real emitter preference
You said not with any custom engineering, but how about a clip for 1-2 $ more on that TK-567. Together with 4 modes and an extension... perfect. Maybe with a neutral white emitter, I would even pay 28-30 $.
Manafont will buy a custom batch from Tank007. Then Manafont will offer a specific sku.
Tk-737 if they can drive it @ 2.8-3 a on high then maybe 1.5a mid then low and super low.
Tk- 567 1aa/14500 R4 neutral sl-l-m-h
I love ur idea to order with the hi-quality as Tank007…I prefer Tk-567 ( if can put Osram bin would be better) and Tk-737 (could be extensional for 2*18650)…again price is very important…around $16-20 would be good… 
My vote goes for a TK007 E07 4 mode starting at moon low going to 1.8 amp high with an R5 or T6 emitter.
I'd pay a little more for the E07 if we can get it with an Xp-G or XM-L. (Hard driven XP-G would probably be best given the size makes it inherently floody. Could we get a 1.5amp driver with an R4 or R5 for it?). The special modes by themselves are not enough to make me want to spend extra over the basic model. Otherwise that 567 looks pretty good. Without the extension would be best, again with a 1.5amp driver.
I'm not really a fan of the fat body required of the zoom lights/3xaaa form factor. I'd only be interested if I knew for certain the output really smoked.
My $0.02.
I would totaly buy E07 on one AA battery with super low (moonlight), low, medium and high mode for around $15 - $20.
You can count me in on a 567 if it will be less than 30 bucks even better yet at the target 24 bucks! I would take the E07 too if it was at the 20 dollar mark. It would be nice with modes! I would take both of them lol. Put in a quality LED and a good driver and I'm happy (but please leave out the SOS)!
I like a variety of torches and mode selection as long as the UI isn't stupid so i'm up for anything you guys decide on. I have some torches that start in low, some that start in high and some with or without memory or strobe and they each serve a different purpose for me.
I think reputable flashlight manufacturers only make lights that can be run on high mode for the entire duration of the battery charge...
Well said. Me too. 1 x AA (clip would be nice) and 2 x AA.

Hi Joel, I would also like a clip. I don't think this can be cheaply integrated into the design. But maybe some sort of snap-on clip would be possible.
I'm in for the TK-567: XP-G R4 nw, SL-L-M-H w/o mem, AA extension tube.
If I could have a beacon mode and a alpine distress signal mode I would even pay more (say up to 30 $ ) but only if it's hidden.
edit: BLF logo would be nice, too!
I like the TK-567 as it stands out from other AA lights.
[quote=sb56637] And what would you think about the reverse mode order of Super-low > Low > Med > Max? [/quote]
That would be my preference, but high - super-low would be fine to.
I really dilike the extension tube and wouldn't really want one, it's obviously not made for this light - it has similar styling to the SS C3.
Would there be some kind of BLF branding on this or would that add too much extra to the price?
I'm interested in TK-737, maybe little cheaper about 22$ would be fine. 4 modes and no blinky is good to me.
I'm in for Tank007 TK-567
- Customization: XP-G LED (R4 or R5)
- Customization 4 non-blinking/non-flashing modes (with moon mode)
- Standard feature: Tailstands
- Standard feature: No extension tube
- Standard feature: AA or 14500 dual-capability driver
- Approximate price: $20/22
2,8 amps on P60-style host can be used for a duration of an 18650 without serious heat problem. It will get hottish, but not too hot to hande (just don't mess with the head). Zoomability might be a problem though.
And there is of course the notorious Ultrafire UF-980, pulling 4,5+ amps. Don't know if they can be put to reputable category... But you are right about reputable manufacturers usually being sissy what comes to driving their emitters,
BLF branding would be great. I mean there is for example the ITP A3 Eos Upgrade, why couldn't there be Tank007 E07 BLF edition?
Count me in for a Tank 737 with XM-L
3-mode more than enough for me.
