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.
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.
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 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.
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.
