Lumitak Alphaelite Flashlight: "World's Brightest"

Still cheaper compared to this 100$+ 4pcs ultrafire battery.

Is it possible to request RMM to up the amps in the M23 Sniper?

I ordered a clone of this light from Amazon, which I was promptly refunded for after stating the not-so-obvious difference between a genuine CREE emitter and the “LatticeBright” or “LB” emitter the light came with. I am trying to replace the electronics of this light with a genuine MT-G2 emitter and a FET driver from mtnElectonics, however, the “reflector” and Teflon spacer provided with this light had to be drilled to accommodate the larger diameter of the emitter…. and I did a terrible job of it, and the “reflector” piece of thin metal is probably now ruined, as it has marks all over it. My question is, can I order replacement parts from somewhere reliable, or, is there a better zoomable host out there that I could get for cheaper than parts plus shipping? Thanks!

The Lumitaky site with that ridiculous light is still online? i;m surprised by now they haven’t seen this topic exposing their scam.

I tried ordering from Bangood and they cant get it past chinese customs. Any other suggested website? I want this for my husband.

Ah well it could be worse. Saw at Fry’s a year ago a battery charger / flashlight combo with “2000 lumen” output (according to the box). The light source was a single standard 5mm while LED.

SLO town, huh? I went to cow Poly in 1970 :stuck_out_tongue: Brother and his family live there. I miss it.

I still see posts on Facebook everyday with dozens of people saying that they purchased the light, and that it’s the brightest light they’ve ever seen. :expressionless: If they only knew! I’ve tried to warn people that they can buy the same light for 1/5th the price on Banggood, but people keep buying :weary:

I like how on their Facebook page they say they have special technology not found in stores that increases the output by 20%, I commented on it and asked if that technology was an xml2 used by just about every other manufacturer going.

Take a look at the hosts mtn electronics has added. Richard has added 3 new zoomies in the past month that should work. One is a single 18650 which could run a 6V led off of two 18350s, one is a single 26650/18650, and one is a two 26650/18650 host.

sadly that’s how these scammers make their way, is preying on the thousands of uneducated unaware buyers out there who are easily fooled by false ads.

Only 2 posts? I have to wonder if the OP ever got his money refunded by “Lumitak”.

I’ve edited my original post because “Lumitak” just called me back from the voicemail I had left them. They asked some good questions and say I should expect to be receiving a refund within about 5 days. Will post follow-up to let all know whether or not that occurs.

Actually, there were 32 posts before you posted your comments.

The first 30 were on the first page. What you were looking at was the second page. 0:)

. . .

And welcome to the BLF forum!

I was referring to the number of posts by the original poster. Apparently he hasn’t posted any follow-up to say how his transaction turned out.

I don’t think Yourrid bought anything:

BTW, he posted 5 times. 0:)

I have to say this company is a stand-up outfit, in that they promptly refunded my purchase price request.

I’m still in the market for a high quality brighter AA or solar panel rechargeable flashlight than this one, in case anyone has any recommendations:

Thank you for your help.

Aww! Never mind. Somehow I got it in my head that the other guy who bought this light was the OP…

It was actually Brandaloo and I wish he had posted follow-up.

They didn’t even want the flashlight back…

Usually when a company DOESN’T want their own product back, means they were selling anyways. Just my 2 cents, glad you got a refund.

Could not resist and sent him a FU greeting email with other niceties…

Our newly designed LED Emitter is 20% more efficient than the original XM-L models and emits a higher spectrum of whiter light. You WILL notice a significant improvement over the original XML-U2 version. Our revolutionary emitter has a silver backing and a more effective led pattern than the original XML LED.”

That’s just simply awesome. They have their own LED, a XM-L T-6…

Wow, under $10 for the world’s brightest flashlight? That’s very impressive! :open_mouth:
