14500 Cree T6 for only $3.34. Looks interesting for the price
One of the photos included seems to shwo a damaged O ring.
Looks like a charging port cover. I hate those, always flopping open.
i am quite sure all(ot) of the cheapos have a Latticebright (aka fake Cree) LED in them… 
we should be a responsible forum and point that out in case uneducated people reading here…
Thanks. I will get one to try.
I guess this is the same flashlight Pulsar13 was talking about?
Can this flashligjt get an AA battery and work? or it is only for 14500 battery.
The listing only mentions a 14500 battery. Being so cheap it’s probably got a fake LED. I’ve not bought one.
I received this flashlight today and it doesnt work with any of the 3 batteries I have. So I opened it up and its got a Cree xpe looks genuine. Of course nowhere near 2500 lumens by a long shot even if it was an xml. Lol. Where do they get these numbers? So I emailed the seller amd he can refund or send me another. I asked if he can send me a different light of equal value. The side button feels cheesy. Id rather have a standard driver so I picked an 18650 zoomie. I hope he can send me that different light.
matg, which light did you buy? The 14500 one? Mind you it listed as XMT - LOL.
If it really didn’t work with 14500 as listed then I’d recommend getting money back and then repurchase a different light. One of the ebay Do’s (at least mine, anyway). Both seller and buyer benefit from this - seller gets rating point, buyer gets renewed protection with the new purchase.
I’m not talking about your seller here, just FYI in my experience if the seller REALLY insist on sending a new one instead of refund then he/she does not intend to send anything.
Yes i bought the 14500 one woth the side switch. Doesnt turn on. I only had time to breifly check the wiring and everything looks good just no light.
I got a message back from the seller and he will send me the other light I wanted. Its an 18650 zoomie light with an xml at 20 million lumens. Cant go wrong with that Lol. I would be happy if it actually has an official cree led in it.
Anyone try this one? $2.94

ust won a bunch of auctions for c8s for under $6 and a Bunch of wf-502b for under $4.
Any of the C8 that you bought accept 20mm LED stars with solid pills? The ones I found on Ebay seem only using hollow pills and accepting 18mm starts.
actually solid pill with shelf + two holes for pos+ and neg- leads on a 16mm star not 20 without flattening the shelf off the top. plenty of threading on it to make good contact with the body. glass lens. reverse clicky tailcap threaded most of the way to the back. came out of proper focus. used shims and brought it to near perfection. good little car light for $5.33 plus time tinkering with it.
The weirdest thing is it came from china in like 5 days. WTMF?
check out the honest lumens and the disassemble photos.

Thanks. Looks like a good one. 16 mm is o.k. as long as it is solid pill. I may get one to try. Hope it will be the same as shown on the photo.
Gad, who are these people?
You can even get one with big red stars on the bezel, for your Party friends.
Just a few flashlights for sale among dozens and dozens of listings for women’s clothes.
Seems I’ve seen that exact same collection of items for sale under quite a few different company names recently, too.
That one at 2.94 is in the mail for me after the other one didnt work. Turns out that light with the side switch had a bad emitter. I swapped it out for a q5 I had laying around and it is a decent light. For some reason it had a charging port with no included charger. I have my own charger thank you. Lol
I just received from the mail. I ordered it by chance from ebay bidding for 1 cent plus $1.99 shipping. No one outbid me. I really don’t need it but paid for that anyway. I don’t know if this one is similar to yours. If it is, maybe you can answer two questions for me.
- It appear difficult to access the LED without damage the cover (see photo). Any suggestions?
- What type of charger I can use? Not sure what is plug’s size.
Thanks.
I have a light that is just like that with the way the led is placed in it. I pried out the zoomie glass lens after chipping the corner of it and once i got to the led it seemed i would have to destroy the ring holding the led. Im pretty sure it is a lattice bright so they hide it this way. I stopped trying to pry out the led for fear of destroying the light.
As far as the charging thing i wouldnt use it. No telling how its going to charge or damage your battery. Stick with whatever the charger you have.
