I’ve been looking for a nice 18650 zoomy. There are not many to choose from or atleast from what I can find.
I would buy it for $11 and maybe $13 without strobe. It is very nice though. If only it were cheaper.

Looks really nice.
The light has an XML2, color-coded battery charge indicator, tailcap clicky with side-electronic switch, and USB charging. This doesn’t strike me as a $13 light with a generic driver. Supfire, like Convoy, also has a reputation for making relatively well-built budget flashlights.
My guess is maybe $25-40 range.
I do think an XPL HI makes a lot more sense for a zoomie than domed XML2. But presumably a little modding would fix that.
Nice flashlight! Picture in OP please?
It’s a nice light, I like it but probably has nxt mode memory
Yes! Yes! I agree with you. Sorry to imply declaring a value. Rather, I was merely referring to my own budget and wishes:)
Every time I read Supfire, I misread it as Supbeam. I’d like a Supbeam/Acebeam…
Anyone’s got any experience with this A2 yet? I’m curious.
Not a fan of zoomies but this looks really interesting.
I am afraid it will be pricey and I really don’t know if I like the idea of an 18650 charger built in… I do have a BD03 and it has not nuked on me yet.
I would be more interested if it did not have the stinkin’ blinkin’ going on.

I like the looks of it …I’d like it to be 7$ …….
I’ll buy a handful at seven bucks … seven is a much luckier number
The only reason I found this light is because my customers are very annoying. 90% of them are stuck in the old mag light days with the whole concept of focusing an incandescent bulb. They always come to me and pick up lights I sell. They start to take the head off a convoy s2+ or c8 and ask if it focuses. I say “no sorry” and they start to walk away. Then I show them an inferior sk98 and tell them that this light focuses. Their eyes light up and they buy it. I try to tell them that the s2 and c8 are better with reflectors. But they do not care about or understand a reflector light. Then they bitch if the sk98 doesn’t have a built in charger. Ugghhh. So if this A2 is built better than a sk98 then it will solve my problems. I think most of the sk98 are junk but my customers do not care. And I’m tired of getting shipments of sk98 with lattice bright leds. I have probably gone through 300 sk98 at this point.
Supfire has always produced some decent lights. I never liked their cheap glossy anodizing that they put on a majority of their lights. We will see how this A2 does.
I’m sure Richard at www.mtnelectronics.com could get a shipment of these and offer a good price without the unprotected supfire 18650
I had bad luck with this solarstorm starry light ex01. The usb charging worked but the green and red warning lights quit working properly . And the anodizing was very cheap and glossy.
I hope it has memory or always starts on low/high. I really hate next mode bs.
Looks like it has those really cheap dust and side switch covers too. Those things shear/fall/tear off with the lightest use.
There is a non-zoom version A5 for Supfire but the quality is not as good.
Are there any other nice little zoomy’s out there for under $20? Or… Maybe this isn’t the right question for this thread? If not, just ignor my question:)
I feel your pain brother. The only lights i’ve been really selling are green c8’s for blood tracking. Other than hunters, I can’t find many people interested in a premium (Convoy) light.
Please, when you get the light, let us know the UI (low to high or high to low) and does it have memory.
Hope someone can do a BG and then put in a better driver and XP-L HI in it. Been looking for a good zoomie for awhile.
