Looking for a Budget/Quality 1AA Flashlight for Christmas gifts.
I need 50+.
A friend has told me about these:
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
The Sipik SK68 and it’s clones have been my most popular light with non flashlight people. I don’t even tell them about 14500s, they don’t need to know, most of the time. Them using AA only helps me sleep at night. 
Do you have a working link to these ‘BLF Delight’ lights to purchase?
the numbers they give are junk, 7 watts would deplete the battery in about 15 minutes, it would also suggest 42 lumens/watt which is a lot lower then a Q5 LED would give, at 200ma you should have over 10 hours of life where they say 2-3, so you have no idea how many lumens it actually gives off, it may be 25 or it may be 200
Yep, I have two of these (one black, one blue), VERY nice lights. Mine dont have momentary which I prefect, but for the price, awesome. Very nice beam pattern too.
I forget how much I paid, I think 2-3$…anyway I am happy with these lights.
I have the Sipik too, but its double-triple the price, probably nicer, and has a clip, but I like them both.
I am finding this one: 2012 3w LED New Hot Salt Torch
and this one: C679 3w 1AA Super Torch
Either of these the 'BLF DeLight'?
Recommendations on either?
This is the one I was talking about.
I bought several of the “BLF Delight” flashlight from different sellers, all were rather disappointing and didn’t live up to reviews.
I think there are many variations and its pretty much luck of the draw if you get one that is any good.
Mrs photon1k bought me a package of 5 of the BLF Delight bargains about a year ago.
It took parts from all five to make one light that would function somewhat reliably and put out enough light to tell that it was turned on. I had fun taking them apart and testing to find the parts that worked the best, and was happy to get at least one working light out of the bunch…
But I cannot recommend the light as a gift, at least not if you like the person you are giving it to. It has very thin walls, inconsistent threading, an ill fitting lens and very low output. I have no experience with the sipik, but based on its appearance alone it would have to be a much nicer light than the BLF Delight.
For gifts I would buy 50 of these with the bulk rate discount from DX you can get a great little light for $8.30 each.
A couple points these are single mode run on either AAs or 14500s so non flashlight people will not be confused by them plus they have a clip are very bright and decent quality.
