Nope. It's expired.
Damn, got to spend 4 more bucks to get it, I think not worth it and I will pass. 
OK,
Got my Tangsfire today.
Pulls 3.52 amps on both the Trustfire Flames and on Panasonic 3400 protected’s. I do not have any IMR batteries in 18650 to try, but am confident it would pull more with them as is listed in the OP.
Anyway, fit and finish is very good, nice clean reflector, clean glass, small amount of lube on threads.
She is a keeper, very bright and has a nice defined hotspot. As with other lights with the East092 driver it comes on to high mode which suits me fine.
For the money I don’t know how you can do better. Finally a C8 that has good amperage right out of the box.
Tint is bright white but not purpley or green.
I may do a resistance mod with some braid on the driver spring and tailcap spring and remove the cap over the spring. Cap looks kinda cheesy anyway.
So there you have it, now go get you one!
Later,
Keith
ok i will buy one to compare with the rest of my top c8 and c12’s.
as of right now, the c8 from lightmalls has the crown….
I got the first of my Tangsfire C8s today. With a freshly charged Sony US18650VTC3 I got a 5A reading.
Maybe it was in your review and I missed it, but is there any timed based step down when it’s on high?

It’s direct drive on high, so the current readings can drop down fast depending on the cells used.
Ahhhh, sweet. Thanks

Here it is from one of Tmart’s ebay accounts on sale for only $16.73, 3 days only.

Thanks, I’ve been wanting another light…
hmm…so i just recieved my tmart c8 today, and sadly to say, it was still beaten by my lightmalls xml2 c8
the lightmalls c8 has a bigger less defined hotspot, and has more spill/flood,
and the tmart c8 has a much nicer beam and tighter hotspot.
the lightmalls seems brighter and seems to throw further, but only judging by eye.
im using 20 R’s.
Same here. Got both of mine yesterday and neither perform very well. They don’t suck, but they are not much brighter than my standard C8s out there from any vendor. Granted, they are well built and very nice, with a defined hotspot, but they are blue as heck (no more U3s for me) and just not very impressive. I tested mine on unprotected 3400 Panas from FT. Didn’t spend long playing around, but I’ll do more some time tomorrow when I get back home.
This is not the same light - XML U3, not XM-L2 U3 (Not sure I believe that anyway - probably a XM-L2 T6).
Seems it is a very bright flashlight…
Blow up the first picture shown, Side of flashlight reads XM-L2 U3 clear as day.
Listing says other way as you point out.
Ooops, my 56 year old eyes couldn't make that out. Still, I wouldn't believe it's really a XM-L2 U3. There was one batch made by CREE, none we've heard of since. ArmyTek was the only manufacturer I heard of that actually got them, and since, can't get anymore. For one vendor that has repeatedly claimed XM-L2 U3 emitter (willbuying.com), I did a pretty rigorous test on and proved them to be equal to a T6 bin in output.
Most likely, the manufacturers have left-over XM-L2 U3 labeled hosts, or they were hoping on more to come out, or they simply like to falsify the claims because they get away with it and they think they can sell more, or get a higher price. Lightmalls, TMART, various eBay and AliExpress sources are all the same. They can claim innocence because their sources are telling them the lies, or not. Doesn't mean I would boycott the vendors, but sometimes you just got to accept it like their outrageous lumens claims, or claims of regulated output at a specific amp level. What they use in place of the U3's is the question. If they use U2's, great, but if they use T6's, and/or bad tints like a T6 0D, that sucks.
This light is sounding like a T6 at best, based on the high amps and relatively low output. Might have something to do with the reflector too, because there is a lot of variations in C8 reflectors, some better than others.
Tom,
I hear ya.
I sold stereo equipment in the early 80’s and there were no enforceable laws against overstating wattage of car stereo amps, head units, etc.
Even the home stereo laws were lax.
Same applies here, they can slap any label on the side of a light they want and no one is going to say boo.
Q5’s rated at 1000 lumens? Sure, why not.
There are probably lots and lots of T6 emitters left in the supply chain, hence the reason we are seeing T6 lights for $6.
I still think this particular flashlight is worth the money with the east 092 driver. If you don’t like the tint or want better heat sink/ more output, just throw in a Copper Noctigon with your favorite emitter and flavor of tint and be done. The hot spot is very well defined.
JMHO
Thanks,
Keith
Is the blue is due to high current draw of direct drive but with poor heatsinking thus the LED turns blue over the time?
Not at all. Just like the XM-L2 U3 C12s from Aliexpress blue, but not quite as bright, just blue. Looked almost P7 blue. Then again, I’m in the dust bowl of Texas right now, so I will play more when I get back home.
