You may have set the standard for reviews many of us “noobies” really want to see, especially for budget lights.
For those of us from the BLF “parent thread,” here’s a link to the questions, issues and unknowns which koyotee was kind enough to respond to: A New 1xAA/1x14500 light with Side Switch (Stepless Version Added)
Great job, and Thanks!

Aliexpress, soon at other vendors too. I think a groupbuy is also very likely to happen.
Nice review, this is a handsome light. I think it looks better than the solarstorm .
Thanks for the review koyotee. Am I just being selfish hoping for a UI comparable to zebralight’s?

Beam shots are with 14500 battery? Maybe adding some with AA would be helpful.

This sounds like a really interesting light. On the outside it looks like it was modeled after an Olight S15.
I wonder what the internal construction is like. Is there a pill? If so, does the pill screw in or does it simply slot in with an alignment tab like the S15?
I might get one of these. I like the styling. I’m a fan of small sideswitch lights.

nice review… but surprisingly 3.8A Convoy C8’s spill is so dim, I thought it would light up the garage even more

FT has its sibling, the Solarstorm sc01, for a lot less... not sure if its the same or not,

You should pull the trigger and do a review

If all goes well I'll let everyone know in a few weeks.

Be great if they came with an extension tube, and a black reversible deep carry clip.
