You read my mind. I have the 3-up TIR and star sitting right here, and I was thinking about that too. I’ll probably get these in a mini Mag before that light arrived, but the dimensions sound like there’s a chance. I doubt the pill will be happy with a 20mm star though.
I just got two torches from poozoo, good seller…
Was one of them that $13 1x26650 champagne coloured light? Looks nice, but I resisted for now.
Yep…
Heh, heh.
BTW, I also have one of these coming in to try:
gcbryan said it fits a TIR, so I’m thinking that the 3up with a Carclo lens should fit also ?
P.S. Sorry to kind of semi-hijack your thread…
Well at that price can’t say no. I am in for 2. Likely swap emitters with something brighter out of my bin and give them away…….they should work with CR123’s….
I have a couple of XP-E2s here that need a home. Might dedome one and see if I can get a tiny thrower out of some small host, maybe this one. Probably needs a real reflector though.
poozoo must be wondering why he all of sudden got a bunch of orders… “BLF Effect” :)!
Ohh, if it’s anything like that, I’m happy. Solid pill, moddable tailcap, alu reflector!
This $2.99 one is probably a cost reduced clone with none of that, but one can hope. 
Relic,
Maybe the same as this one:
Hi,
I bought one earlier, and already got an email saying it shipped :)… However, no tracking #, so I sent email asking if he was going to be able to provide one. No harm asking, I guess?
£2.39 delivered to UK. Might get one.

i ordered two, so i hope it’s a good deal 
Hi ohaya, definitely no harm in asking, but I doubt a $3 order will get a tracking number. Oh, but you paid for shipping, maybe the $1 shipping is tracked? Let me know, if so I’ll update the OP.
Ordered one. Nothing ventured, nothing gained…
Looks like a neat edc. Ordered a couple. Probably will try a nichia in one of them.
Thanks for sharing the finding.
The listing was pretty confident in mentioning XP-E R2, repeated several times… quite bold for an ebay listing Hopefully this guy didn’t just take his supplier’s word for it… I kinda suspect this is an XR-E, because I have an UF-S5 with XRE that looks exactly like that. And also the emitter in the ebay picture looked like it has a ring around it.
My S5 was $5+, has the utmost crappiest driver I have ever seen, with puke-inducing pwm (really!) on mid & low and not recognising soft-click in between blinks during SOS mode (meaning you have to noob yourself and full-click your way back to High).
But it works nevertheless. And for $3 it’s good for the host & emitter alone, XR-E or XP-E doesn’t matter, so I’m in for a couple myself.
Thanks for the find.
I emailed him and he sent a tracking #, but also it is now appearing in my.ebay.com. Also got notification email from Ebay, but that didn’t have the tracking #, but it does appear in my.ebay.com.
Does the tracking number work? I’ve never had any luck with those ‘direct in eBay’ tracking numbers. They usually just say “shipped” with no further routing info.
