do you know the tint of the (magical 2000lm) emitter?
hnnnnnnnnnnng.
I want them both.
Yep
2000 Chinese Lumens, about 800 Real Lumens, nice torch for the money, I bought 2 more, and have one already, but, it is a nice torch, really.
Oh I see, I didn’t realize how Aliexpress worked. Its basically like amazon in that they compile tons of sellers in one place.
What would be the best way to protect oneself in going through with an order via this new dealer? It doesn’t look like they accept paypal.
I take it they don’t take PayPal. I don’t like to spread my credit card # so far from home.
THE RUNNING MAN asked if it was safe? So is it OK (safe) to send my card #?
Is there any other way to pay that doesn’t cost extra?
Thanks All
The thing with aliexpress is that their sellers are sometimes hit and miss. However, aliexpress holds the money and it doesn’t get released to the seller until you get your light and confirm it. I have bought hundreds of items from ali-express over the years and never had a problem with my card. I have had a few sellers that were flaky and didn’t send items or tried to send the wrong items. So basically the only real chance you are taking is tying your money up for a while.
Yea, I went to Wells Fargo and got a Limited Debit Card. I only keep a few dollars in it until I buy something. I open up the Wells Fargo Account Page and move enough to cover my purchase, then do the order. It is set up that it can give out no more than is in it, so if somebody hits it for like a hundred dollars, WF declines the request, very cool account for online buying. I never use my large debt/credit card for online stuff.
Cool, I might just have to order and extra, for that price it’s hard to go wrong. The last really good deal I found on ali-express I waited until it arrived to share the deal with everyone and by the time I got it their price jumped way up. So I thought this time I would just share the deal and let the buyer beware.
just when i thought i was getting out of this flashlight hoarding business… you guys pull me back in with these cheap deals… sigh… :weary:
I’d take one if they did PayPal. 
Newbie question. What are the pros of using 26650 (in comparison to 18650)?
More capacity
Nice finds. Thank you for reporting 18sixfifty. 
Guess that’s where fatso - 26 vs 18 - comes into play. Thanks.
Also American Express is not accepted.
Price for the 26650 is raised up to $10,62.
Was thinking about ordering a 2nd one. 
Thanks, I’ll update the price.
The now $10,62 26650 flashlight from ali express seems to be very similar to this one from Aurabuy.
Also found another 26650 flashlight of the same kind at Lightmalls.
Both Aurabuy and Lightmalls take Paypal.
