Well at that price canāt say no. I am in for 2. Likely swap emitters with something brighter out of my bin and give them awayā¦ā¦.they should work with CR123āsā¦.
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 ordersā¦ āBLF Effectā :)!
Ohh, if itās anything like that, Iām 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 :)ā¦ However, no tracking #, so I sent email asking if he was going to be able to provide one. No harm asking, I guess?
Ā£2.39 delivered to UK. Might get one.

i ordered two, so i hope itās 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 Iāll update the OP.
Ordered one. Nothing ventured, nothing gainedā¦
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 timesā¦ quite bold for an ebay listing Hopefully this guy didnāt just take his supplierās word for itā¦ 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 itās good for the host & emitter alone, XR-E or XP-E doesnāt matter, so Iām 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 didnāt have the tracking #, but it does appear in my.ebay.com.
Does the tracking number work? Iāve never had any luck with those ādirect in eBayā tracking numbers. They usually just say āshippedā with no further routing info.
Iāve ordered bunches of stuff on Ebay from China/HK, and on the ones that provided tracking #s (almost all of them), the numbers did/do work.
The one from poozoo for this order hasnāt started working yet, but I just got that yesterday.
I couldnāt give a stuff about a tracking number for something so cheap.
True. Cheap enough that Iād rather have the cheapest shipping than a tracking number that costs more.
Thatās actually what surprised me when ohaya mentioned itā¦ why bother with a tracking number on this? They should have the option to go for free āslow boatā shipping. Must be ePacket or somethingā¦
Will there be problems if the tailcap from this light is used in C8/C12, mechanical and electrical wise?
