Under $10, 1x AA/ AAA/ 10440/ 14500 flashlight reference


No. 3 is on sales on BG @$3.30 after BLF coupon | non-aff-link

number 3
This one is the best I got:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200958055768?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&\_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
Has good optics and a not-hollow-pill and the 3 modes.
But it’s also the ugliest…
It’s gold, okay…
but it’s just less elegantly shaped, somehow…
Also, it is gold, with a GREEN switch boot, which is one of the ugliest colour combinations i ever saw…

Hey, green and gold are both my high school and college colors. Although, I guess I do agree that it’s not a good combo, especially if the two are not tonally balanced.

Mine arrived, ordered through aliexpress from the yupard seller for 6.5$ with tracked shipping.
It’s bigger than I thought, thick walls. Pill is hollow, it’s just a aluminium ring which sits inside the head. Reflector is a very cheap plastic reflector and the lens is also cheap plastic. No dust or scratches. Lockout not possible.
Modes 100,50 and strobe. Current is about 1.2A. Cool white tint.

I made an extra thread about the light because I couldn’t find information in the forum about it. I wrote “reference#7” in the thread topic, maybe this should be some standard so we can use this reference number because these lights have no names…

Where do we find the coupon code? What is the difference between those two links?
My expectation is that prices will settle at around this level. This design appears to be cheaper to produce in quantity than SK-68s (# 4). Less material, less metal to remove, and the head may be extruded or otherwise grooved in a quicker way. Lighter to ship.

See Trustfire Mini 01 clones .

These are often over $10 but some places listed under. They are functionally and in appearance similar to SK-68s, but are the only moving pill zoomies I have seen with good cooling. Interesting to collectors.

What is # 14?


A nice total internal reflection light. 14500 only. Could use a better led. My examples have loose tail cap thread.
Added: It looks like # 18, which is AA instead of 14500.

14 is another variety of “Police 3watt” :slight_smile:

I like 15 better. Link anybody? It’s not on any of my lists…

Hmmyes… They look nice in the pictures, but the blue one that tempted me into buying was really very disappointing… :frowning:
(but luckily much cheaper too)

These look interesting:

Cool looking light there Pregulla. Had to order one.

Smiling shark 16340. I believe DX has them too.

Edit: had them, sold out it seems.

I passed on it a while back because of the tailcap switch. I despise that type of switch that sticks out a mile. :Sp

Now that is pretty interesting…hmmm
