*3/13 Update the Review is in!* G700 "Chip In Fund"

Maybe ship the cells to HKJ, and the G700 to someone who has an integrated sphere and is willing to make a comprehensive review?

I just bought almost exactly the same package deal for a relative. Mc2, 3 protected Samsung cells, and 2 S2+.

There's $25 not listed yet, with your $5 it's up to $45.

Nice
Four more for $5 and weā€™re there
Probable easiest if we give slim pickings a gift card at RMM?

Look like they are labeled ā€œKlonefireā€ :slight_smile:
That is hilarious.

Truth in advertising, people!

That is an excellent idea!

Count me in for a $5.00 contribution. :slight_smile:

MtnE is out of stock of S2+ unfortunately.

Richard told me that there are Convoys on the way.

Anything happening here?

all this does is get a review out in the wild for the spiders to index.might save someone else the disappointment and danger(of the shitfire batteries)
our little contribution to the flashlight world.
btw i ā€œwonā€ one of these for $1.99 shipped.
it is what it appears to be.
a cheap n nasty $1.99 zoomie.with incendiary bomblets on the side.
a bit of tightening here and heatsink compound there and a bit of superlube made it useful.its in my neighbors toolbox now.
this one came in the same case with ā€œanlookā€ ultrafire copies.same recycled junk.
this light had no markings other than the typical zoomie marks on the head they all have.
edit batteries are anlook.

yes it is.
but they are really ā€œalonefireā€
in an emergency you will be alone and on fire due to these crap batteries!

Sorry for not updating my post. Iā€™ve been working nonstop all last week, and weekend, so I havenā€™t had a chance to do anything with this yet.

Iā€™m going to reach out to a few users this week who have the g700, and see if we can borrow their lights for a week or two for a review. I figured a gift card to Mountain Electronics would be fair compensation for letting us borrow the lights for the review.

That way these scammers donā€™t get any more money, everyone gets their lights back, and we can still get a review done. How about that?

I saw a few reviewsā€¦ if you can call them that, on YouTube this past weekend.

I was disgusted by what I saw. Guys extolling itā€™s virtues, basically using the scam emails and web ads as a scriptā€¦ and yet, the beam looked unremarkable. Good flood, of course, itsā€™ aspheric. But overall lumen and candela output, poor.

There was one guy who bought threeā€¦ annoyed me to no end when he kept calling the LED emitter a ā€œbulbā€. I canā€™t stand that.

About as bad as the guy who pronounced Fenix as ā€œfenn-icksā€.

Sounds like a plan. :party:

At your leisure, please PM me with billing details for my contribution. :slight_smile:

Until Fenix learns how to spell Phoenix correctly, Iā€™ll keep calling ā€œFenn-icksā€ā€¦ lol

This isn't much better from Fasttech. There's a few over priced kit models with this one at $67:

They only go up to G90 though, haven't reached the G700 pinnacle yet Smile.

^ Watched that videoā€¦. itā€™s a joke of a demonstration. It clearly is not any different than any other aspheric zooming light. Nothing at all like the doctored up and fake images in the advertisements. The guy using the light in the video handles it as if it is some super dangerous weapon. Not impressed.

Itā€™s a decent flood light, thatā€™s really about all. And worth $6.99 on the slow boat from China.

i will look and see if i can borrow this light for shipment to a reviewer.
going to feel weird printing postage in excess of what it cost shipped from china to ship it to someone in the usa!
but a virgin sample should be reviewed.this one is tainted with my improvements.

How about a sign-up list for users who would review this, then forward it along to the next one on the list? See if we can swamp youtube with unbiased reviews regarding this lights abysmal performance. The packet could contain the G700 and the $6 generic model, to do a side-by-side comparison review.
