And more.
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)

I’ve never bought from them, fwiw.

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

Smiling shark flashlights that don’t say the led brand, like most, may not be as bright as one would like. They also tend to have plastic pills, so a good mod would either have a new pill or a thick star in contact with the body. That said, the shape looks like it has good cooling, if the heat can get out to the body.

Help me out here if you can?

Please identify any of these you know has a “mode memory” — remembering the setting last used, so the same setting comes back when it’s turned on again.

(I use strobe mode a lot when walking, in crosswalks, to wake drivers up.
And I turn it on before starting into crosswalks even if I can’t see a car
coming — because I’ve had them come up so fast I didn’t have time to fiddle
with the flashlight — so I put a lot of wear on switches and have begun to
have them fail on my regularly used walking lights)

  1. looks like a nice compact zoomie, do you guys know where I can get one?
    Also where to get this one shown by Pregulla

I got mine from Meritline last year. Finish was ok, but it was no better than a typical SK68. I gave it away as a gift.

BIC has them for $.5.5
I got mine from ebay auction for $3.75

“next mode memory”

A capacitor keeps the MCU alive, you turn off the light, hours later you turn it back on, it will start immediately in the “next mode”

You can scrub a pencil tip across the capacitor on many of them making a layer of graphite which allows the capacitor to quickly drain rather than stay charged almost indefinitely, so the MCU resets back to “default” or HI every time you turn it off and leave it off for a few seconds

Start practicing bumping or 1/2 clicking the switch, not a complete click, but partially press the switch changing modes w/o actually clicking the switch

Mode memory, whatever level you were running on when you shut it off, it will come back on at that level next time
