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


I like the look of this UltraFire AT-007 AA/14500 zoomie from FastTech for $4.77.


Available in this ugly color combo as well…$4.77.

Looks like a nice AA prospect for gifting.

It occurred to me to buy one of each and swap bezels — blue/black for cool white stock, and red/gold for a neutral white or amber mod …
if these by some wild chance come with a mod-friendly solid pill instead of the expected hollow pill … but no, I can’t be that optimistic.

Clone (of the SolarStorm), just hit the wire

Anybody know about this 1xAA Powerlight B21 side-switch light? I can’t find it anywhere but WB. :~

$3.08-$3.25/ea. Depending on qty.

I think there’s a group buy for $2.99 on that one at the moment. :slight_smile:

Boom…ordered 4…kids Christmas stocking stuffers if they make it here fast enuff

I bought one of those a while back and got a solid pill that made it easy to modify. Best #3 Zoomie out of many tries.

I (stupid, stupid, stupid!) bought three more recently.

They came in the same nice color-printed Rustu cardboard box.

But they’re crap now, same crap #3s you get for $2.99 on eBay that makes you feel burned when it arrives.

Burned, burned, burned.

Hollow pill, dirty dinged up pill, almost no ledge inside for heat transfer at all, BLUE-white emitter, oil inside on the threads which are pretty chewed up looking.

Oh, and the threads no longer even match the threads on the “3W Police” lights that used to work as extension tube donors.

Even cuter — although no review appears from me on the DX page, they won’t let me review it saying I reviewed it previously.

Okay, it was my turn on the big lottery spin, I had gotten decent products and decent treatment from DX for several years in a row.

They got me this time.

EDIT — and they did give me a refund —
BUT NOTE: I asked several times to change the old review on their site, when I praised the earlier version — and they never let that happen.

I can’t believe none of the Hugsbys made the list.
The XP-1 and XP-2 are superb quality AAA lights for the price (around $5).
Likewise the P31 for AA.

you’re right!
I have xp-1 and is very good, and the xp-2 in on his way :wink:
Maybe they are not here because we all have buy them on 11.11 deals on aliexpress. Serching last days, I’ve found only one or two seller with a budget price for Xp-2!

I am thinking about it, but like the others model, the only cons is sometime is difficoult to push the bottom to start. If they will have a better tailcap, probably will be the best budget flashlight around!

I’ve been wanting to order both Hugsby’s but they don’t accept paypal. How do you get
them w/out using a CC?

I got my XP-2 from ebay. Arrived in 10 days.

Aliexpress must be losing so much business by not using Paypal.

Done.

— that’s from bikedude at Can BangGood/GearBest staff learn how to identify a hollow or solid pill?

Cool! I somehow missed that. The collection is growing nicely. :slight_smile:

Well new to me anyway. Hugsby XP-11 looks like the AA version of the popular XP-1

Only downside for me is the lack of a clip.

There is also a 2xAA version (XP-12) and a 3xAAA version (XP-13)


Awesome thanks. I really like the XP1 and been wanting one in AA format for about the same price. Must be a new model.

“Hi, my name is Lancman and I’m a Hugsbyholic.”

I must be; I want all 3 of them. :heart_eyes:

There, I’ve said it. I can no longer be in denial. Time to confront my demons.
Resist man, resist!….

I already got 5 XP1s and don’t have enough AAA Eneloops for them but I have a bunch of AAs so I need to get lights for them. So far got 5 AA Super Lights but I like the XP1 is better.

Me too!
