I would buy this one. $8.60 delivered and it takes a 18650s or 26650 or 3AAA.

It’s going to be about as good as any of them you can find unless you go for big bucks and if you are going to spend big bucks buy yourself something better than a zoomie.

I like zoomies and own a few but beam wise they are about the same unless you get a ringy one and those stink. This one will honestly do as good a job as any of them for a lot less and it has the advantage of taking the different batteries.

mmm, thanks guys, i want bright as possible

What kind of battery are you looking at using?

Unless you want to modify it you will not find them to be extremely bright at least not any of the half dozen that I have tried. I don’t know of any of them that are super bright. Don’t go by the lumens either the descriptions are never even close.

Bright at what? Max lumens won’t always mean most throw, there are other factors at play.

Holy crap that's a good price! I paid $16.33 for my Poppas W-878 version from Manafont! (Not sure on this Ultrafire version, but some have been found having hollow pills.)

This one all the way! Only $12.99 shipped. Has a ringless beam and superb construction overall. Reviewed here by jmpaul320, the first BLF'er to get one.

SmallSun ZY-C10-S - Great throw small beam - Link

“Wallbuys Zoomie”, WF-838 - Nice zoom descent throw, flood is huge - possible hollow pill - Wallbuys Link
This looks like like the same one from FastTech LINK

UF-T20 - Easy to mod, there is replacement pills, can get some great numbers - LINK

+1 on this. I really can’t fault mine and not for the price certainly.

I’ve also ordered, but not yet recieved a Pop Lite, which seems to be a Led Lenser copy (or maybe made in the same factory???). It’s a 3xAAA light and has an XP-E, big difference is it uses a TIR optic. No idea on performance yet though. They also offer a 4xAAA one and if you want an XR-E emitter you can get an 18650 one too.

The Pop Lite R34 (4AAA) looks similar to the LED Lenser T7 however it does not have the same type of lens, and the T7’s lens is a very good shape giving a great beam.
