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.
I’ve 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 hasn’t started working yet, but I just got that yesterday.
I couldn’t give a stuff about a tracking number for something so cheap.
True. Cheap enough that I’d rather have the cheapest shipping than a tracking number that costs more.
That’s actually what surprised me when ohaya mentioned it… why bother with a tracking number on this? They should have the option to go for free ‘slow boat’ shipping. Must be ePacket or something…
Will there be problems if the tailcap from this light is used in C8/C12, mechanical and electrical wise?
I’ve always had a suspicion that sellers always pay for tracking, even if they don’t give you the tracking number.
Think about it, if you were a seller, and you sold me a $100 light, and then shipped something with no tracking, and then I complained that I never received it.
What would your recourse be?
So, I think that, for their own protection, they have to get tracking numbers…
I know that that’s what I’d do.
I also think that it’d be kind of a bother for the seller to get tracking for some shipments, but not for others. I’d just be easier to get it for all shipments.
