I have never bothered to take one apart. My Son actually grabbed mine and has been using it stock for about a year now. Just don’t expect convoy quality from a $3.50 cent light. Still I like this light a lot better than a stock Sipik clone which is about the only thing else like this for the price.
Thanks, I ordered two. I also picked up two the svelte, cheap 14500/AA zoomies with 3mode drivers in black.
I just got email saying that my order shipped, but does it take like 2 months to get to the U.S.?
NO WAY! Just got the notice that mine have been shipped? 8:21pm? So it’s 8:21am there? Now let’s see how long it takes to get to the door….hmmm
You didn’t get any tracking, right? I did not.
Last time I ordered from them I didn’t get a tracking number either. It took about 2 weeks for it to arrive. They had a bunch of 502B’s fairly cheap that time. I think they get closeouts or overstocks or something like that.
Nope, no tracking number. 2 weeks not bad?
Wait….why am I seeing them for Price:US $0.99…ah (Shipping:
$2.50 Economy Shipping from outside US)
Definitely would like to see one broken down, just to see how it’s put together
got 2 for $6.88 just to have em…worse comes to worse…I will use em as loaners (and get my SK98 back from mother in law :D) [not like I don’t have a bunch of 18650’s 
Most of these have XPE on the cheaper version. There’s a chance vendor don’t even know what the emitter really is.
But at $3.50 shipped I’ll bite, can always use another beater.
Yep the ones I got were both XPE too and I would almost bet that these are. Probably why the beam is better on them.
I think this is the same light and ships to UK. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1200Lumens-CREE-XM-L-XP-HOT-3-Modes-Light-Flashlight-Torch1-18650-Battery-DS-UK2-/400760419066?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Camping_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item5d4f2eb2fa
Anybody know what the HOT stands for?
I’d guess “HOT” means it’s really cool.
“CREE XM-L XP” — clearly the seller doesn’t know what it is.
I see a whole lot of cheap ‘zoom’ lights from China showing up on Ebay lately.
Was thinking winXP, a Windows flashlight.
ordered one, thanks!
57 sold in 24 hrs… BLF power? 
I’m sure this would come with an XPE, but I did grab one anyway for the price. I would have grabbed much more (3-4?) if not for the existence of the Zeusray. But if this one did come with XML - gonna have serious buyer’s remorse for not grabbing more.
Just about to order one of these to add to the collection.
Thanks,I am a push over when it comes to a bargain,the worst that can Happen is I lose $10.
I ordered Three of them!! My first light was an aspheric zoomie,“Sipik” like light!
I will give my roommate One and keep the other Two.
,it is the addiction!! Now I can say I have 36 torches!
I think ALL of us would agree that this will not be 1200 Lumens!
Any guesses for those who may have it and for those waiting?
With out seeing it I am going to say 400, 500 max. 
I have one like or similar to that, that was, the best I can figure, sent to me accidentally. It fills the role of the smallest and lightest 18650 zoomy I have, but I rarely use it because it is ugly.
