This looks interesting, anyone have one yet?
200 lumens, with glass lens and aluminum reflector for $3.50

I’m a bit puzzled by “Runtime 6~8”
Six to eight what, hours? That seems optimistic on one AA cell at that brightness…
The specs are complete BS, 90 ma does not produce 200 lumens.
True that! Neither does that generic Chinese "egg drop" emitter at any amperage. I can believe the 90mA driver. You'd be lucky to see 10 lumens from that thing.
doesn’t look like the head can be removed for modding either.
There are loads of cheap small sun knock offs in local markets here, and they are cheap and nasty. I’m pretty sure I’ve come across this one. If it’s anything like I’ve seen and bought here, it will be consigned to your junk pile. Small suns with a decent emitter like an xml are a step up, but I wouldn’t bother with the bottom of the line cheapies such as this.
Thanks guys I think you saved me $3.50
It does in China. And around Uranus.
Lets see: .090A x 1.5V x 85% driver efficiency -> 0.115 W to the LED
0.115W * 60 lumens/watt * 75% optic efficiency -> 5.16 lumens OTF
200/5.16 -> 38.7:1 SinoLumenScumSuckingLie ratio (a new high?)
