Marc.

So how much is GBP 1.57 in dollars?

Just under 2.50

Marc

I just ordered one for $2.51 USD! :evil:

Thanks Marc,

I just bought one for myself to find out what you guys like about it, and I sent one to an out of state girlfriend who will only use alkalines and who thinks that the Fenix E01 that I sent her is all the flashlight that she needs.

If this is a real deal, then by her standards, this should be a fairly bright flashlight for the yard.

I ordered one for 99p plus 58p shipping, but when it took me to paypal the invoice was for £3.98! For some reason the shipping to the UK is 6 times the price. So What’s the point in listing in GBP if you cannot have it at that price? Problem is Ebay say you cannot cancel a ‘buy it now’ sale, but i’m not paying that much for it.

Bit sneaky for us UK customers if you ask me.

Marc

I just received one from Tomtop and it is very bright! It’s pulling 2A which equates to about 180lms at the emitter and that is on an AA battery! the zoom is OK but it losses about half it’s output. But thats fine with me as I prefer flood.

You’ll like it.

Marc.

Very sneaky, I wondered if there was a trap after the commitment to buy.

I’m seeing £3.98=$6.18 for you.

Yeah, very cheaky, after all the sale is in GBP and at no point does it change to £3.98 until after you have committed to buy.

Marc.

Ouch sorry bout that. I’ll relay that info ^ to my post.

Hey, it’s not your fault mate, no worries.

Marc.

I just realized this said “clone”. that means fake, openly fake, advertised as fake.

We have have no idea what this is or how it performs do we?

Don’t worry, they are all clones.

Marc.

I used the word clone just to describe the similarity between that light and the original sipik68 which was the first I think to make that body style.
IMO the clones are better than the real thing. They are all pretty good and for $2.50 you don’t lose much anyway. :slight_smile:

I know that, this is a cool, fun thread.

I’m glad that I bought those lights and will bet money that it fills the needs of that girlfriend.

My clone comments/questions are expressions of a pre-modern American who still thinks of retailers and products in the old way.

k just was saying it was me who used the word “clone” as to describe that body style :slight_smile: And if it is like most of the other clones, she should be happy.

I am so out of touch in this area.

You are right, and I just looked at the listing “CREE Q5 LED 7 W 300-Lumen Adjustable focus Zoom In/Out Mini flashlight torch”.

But I appreciate you guys revealing that it will be a pretty bright AA light, and if we are lucky, a pretty darn bright little AA light.

Great price i will probably buy a few
