I came across this trying to identify a flashlight last night and had to laugh..
barska FLX BA11630 Tactical Flaslight
http://ecostoredepot.com/barska-flx-ba11630-tactical-flashlight-12-w-18650/
obvious convoy c8 head and tailcap, they changed the battery tube and think it's worth $220 more than the XinTDs?! lol

Similar style to a C8, but it is a bit bigger. Takes 2 cells and has multiple emitters. Either way, it’s overpriced.

But it comes in a nice case with two CatchonFire batteries and a BurnYourHouseDown charger.

No wonder it’s so expensive it’s got strobe!

i am not surprised, barska makes crap rebranded products and tries to pass them off as good product.

It uses WF-500/900/1200 generic host and drop-in modules

That looks like it, not really close to being a C8 but the Barska is very over priced.

Yeah, that's just a really old WF-1500 with 5*XR-E emitters rated at 1200 lumens total. Actually a decent thrower at the time but $250 is ridiculous for a $32 light. ROFL!

That’s what I think, too.
5 LEDs and only claimed 1200 Lumens?
I remember those flashlights from DX.com 5 years ago.
THe other lights are overpriced too. Over 50$ for a 220 lumen one… yeah.

Go with the budget Maglite for $180.

I think that's a placeholder technique so they don't have to delete the page and re-create it when the items back in stock, while also keeping it active in the search engines' results.
