King Clone $25 Ali-Express 24 hour deal (deal over)

I donā€™t plan to mod. I just want a super bright light out of the box that is reliable and a good deal.

Hitachi? I only see HGST. I do not even know this brand exist.

I also bought one of these.

Itā€™s a 6x for $35 and comes with 3 26650ā€™s and a charger.

I like the 6x for modding. Itā€™s a decent size reflector for 6. Itā€™s going to get 6 de-domed MXL U2ā€™s that I have laying around on noctigons and two of the 5amp 3x IO drivers. (Lightmalls has them 5 for $32) Iā€™ll run it with the Sony 50a 26650ā€™s.

The batteries and charger will be good enough for some of my single 26650 lights.

I also bought one non-flashlight deal for my wife. Itā€™s a dual core JXD android emulator game console for $59 itā€™s a steal and a great bribe for me spending this much on lights. They usually sell for about $89 on sale.

When Western Digital bought Hitachi they renamed that line of drives to HGST = Hitachi Global Storage Technologies

High performance drives rated for 24/7 use.

Ordered 2x $20 Clones. One for friend and other for myself.
Damn, I got 4 Convoys XM-L2 shipped and I am still buying. :bigsmile:

I would probably go for the King then. Itā€™s a nice size light too. You can fit it in a coat pocket and it will be very bright.

They should call this place (BYBLF) Break Your Budget Light Forum. :wink:

Nice! That should keep you busy for a while.

J18 for $39.86, or $35 when using $5 coupon. Crazy price, and reputable seller (Tomtop) :slight_smile:

ā€œBYBLFā€ is that a new coupon? LOL. :party:

Too bad they don't do PP and I don't do credit cards. Missed a good deal.

I have never had a credit card either, but I have a debit card with buyer protection on it from my credit union. I can transfer money on-line from my saving account onto the account with the card. I got it for when I go on vacation and need to rent a car or whatnot. I also use it to pay my bills on-line and it has frequent flyer miles, so once a year I get a free ticket out of it too. Iā€™m sending my wife back to see her family in Monterey California this year. Last year I went to Fairbanks Alaska to visit one of my Army buddies. We have a disabled son so one of us has to stay home with him.

I love my credit union. I wonā€™t use a regular bank and I havenā€™t paid a cent in interest to anyone in over 20 years.

Here we can get a credit card ($7 yearly fee), and itā€™s 0% interest because itā€™s pre-paid. No fee to move funds to it, no service feeā€™s to use it, etc! Totally free all around except the $7 yearly fee. So when you go to buy something online, just transfer the exact amount to it (happens instantly), then voila. Super secure and great way to have a credit card.

Check with your local banks and see if they offer something similar: http://www.bmo.com/home/personal/banking/credit-cards/prepaid-credit-cards

let me give them a try:

hehe thanks! they work nice! :party:

The SST-90 emitter will put out more lumens but it canā€™t touch the XM-L2 for throw. And now with copper stars you can push the amps up so high that itā€™s . With a de-domed XM-L2 you will still get around 1500 lumens vs 2500 and about 6 times the throw (Kcd).

Itā€™s a fairly simply mod and makes a huge difference for the better. I have modded ZY-T08ā€™s with the same driver that is in the T90 and with a de-domed XM-L2 it smokes the stock T-90. I canā€™t see any point in lugging around a huge light like the T90 unless it really throws and it doesnā€™t do that well with the SST-90.

I do look for SST-90 and SST-50 hosts though because they are generally designed for good heatsinking because the SST emitters produce a ton of heat.

Here is Scaruā€™s charts.

Youā€™re welcome.
