Got this in very recently:

BEWARE! Seller will possibly send you CRAP in stead of the initial model…

And it’s not bad at all!
It performs like an MXDL, which is okay.
Only a hint of purple, and only $1.83 shipped.
One mode Hank, so maybe it’s just the brightness you need?

Jerommel, does it look moddable? I don’t use 1-mode much — usually I want to start at low (it’s never low enough), with brighter as an option.
(Don’t have a driver for that yet — looking for one at 350ma, 3v, so I can swap in PC Rebel emitters— which I find scary bright for my purposes)

Has anyone seen host/kit offerings for AA/AAA size?
The only ones I’ve seen are upwards of $10 so not mentioning those here.

WarHawkAVG mentioned a 15mm driver for the SK68 — did that ever appear?
Thanks Jerommel for pointing out the #3 with a solid pill from
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200958055768?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&\_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
I got one and it has a nice flat solid mount for the emitter and smooth zoom.
(another #3 bought elsewhere has a tiny little rim for the emitter to sit on and a zoom so loose it’s useless)
The #4s also take a 15mm driver — it seems to be just press fit into place.

It’s built like all ‘police 3Watt’: Main tube with the business pressed in from the front, so no head part, only main tube + tailcap.
But there must be a better driver in there, and a better LED (later generation?) than in most of them.
I had it in France last week(s) for the kids that were along with us, and it’s really good and definitely brighter than an MXDL.
We were all surprised by its performance.
Just ordered 3 more…
$8 for a decent looking polished SS. Don't know anything about the vendor.

Sorry to have to post about this cheapy again:
DO NOT BUY, YOU’LL RECEIVE A DIFFERENT AND VERY CRAPPY ’ALTERNATIVE’

…and he sent me crappy ones…
Different model and crappy light…
What a seller… No brains, just greed?
I don’t know, but i opened a case for a refund.
Such a shame how an initially fine offer turns out to suck….
What are those sellers (not) thinking…

^Oh well. You win some, you lose some. I agree about light vendor. I ordered a couple and was sent one and then some other "police" light. I too opened a case.

Gearbest 1x AA headlamp Osram LED $4.55
Allright folks, this is not as good as i hoped…
Plastic body…
This picture here is not correct, i think…
Zooms from a small spot to a projection of the Osram LED.
I’m modding it as we speak.
It gets a new short head and flood optics.
Because it has one big advantage:
Very light weight!
No shaking mass on the forehead. Smile
I may get this as a curiosity.
Are there any other right-angle lights or headlamps worth buying in this category?

I just ordered it. I hope the GB flashlight has the magnetic base, but I’d guess by the price that it doesn’t.
