i ordered one already… but not from ebay… it’s from aliexpress… for $16.99 http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/266782354.html
it’s going to be mod with XML2 U2 1A and 3.5 A… it’s going to stay in my car for “emergency” purpose
Pros:
- Looks tacticool
- Design is unique
- Side clicky
- Mechanic clicky, no parasitic drain & easier to replace driver
- Reasonably driven at 2.5A, 1.25A & 0.33A (about 500, 300 & 100lm OTF)
- Build quality is ok for so cheap light
- High PWM frequency (unnoticeable)
- Good tint for CW (pretty neutral)
- Comes with charger
Cons:
- Looks tacticool
- Alert sound is way too quiet (which is actually good as I tend to occasionally press the tail clicky by mistake)
- Glass breakers can't be just removed, they need to be replaced with similar screws (to hold the bezel on)
- Next mode memory
- PWM makes some whining noise on med & low
And then some quick cell phone photos..
Business end:
Closeup on fins:
Nice internal design between driver and mechanic side clicky:
Definitely interesting. I didn’t realize it was essentially a multi-tool for storage in a car (glass breaker/seatbelt cutter/ and flashlight). I’m not fond of the included ultrafires, but for <$20 it seems like a decent deal.
