You need to search the net for a Taoboa agent in your country or nearest who can order on your behalf. The price as indicated in the link is 270 RMB + shipping fee. Should be slightly more than $US64. I collected it from the agent directly so no extra here.
Just to add for my Taobao 870 lm light after using it.
It is hot after 2 min of continuous use at max mode. It is even HOTTER after 10 min of continuous use at max mode.
I suppose its higher current draw for the stated high lumen and the very small physical size of the light results in poor heat sinking.
Did not test beyond 10 min....afraid that it might explode.
Well, for safe use, I recommend you do NOT use continuously for more than 10 min especailly in a warm/hot environment. Also, do not wear gloves when using it otherwise you would not know how hot it is.
It is supposed to get hot. I really dislike small hosts for properly driven XM-L's. A good P60 host is what i would settle as far as minimum heatsinking required. That includes the aluminum or other tricks to improve the heatsinking.
The one from taobao seems to be a great FTT flashlight but i don't like to use agent and it's not a low budget light.

If you bought something at DX you have tested it as a supplier. ;)

Good to know..
I see this Romisen. Is really good but the twisting mechanism is not the best for heatsink because the pill habe to move inside the body so there is not direct contact.
I only need a flood to throw body to make some test wit different emitter. So in need a flashlight that can use different battery, not to difficult to mod and low budget.
I found the C30 clone on UltraOk that has an adapter for 18650 but then i see the Sacredfire that can use 3 kind of battery but has a P4 instead of Q5. I try to find a review on Sacredfire but, except for opinion on Dx, i didn't find anything.
Thanks Be-Seen-Triker, your link are very helpful. I think i'll go with one of these light.
I also would try to improve heatsink introducing an aluminium divider (with some thermal compound) between emitter and circuit. I would create the Frankenstein flashlight!
No one of the seller ships to Italy... I'll go with UltraOk and i will cross fingers. I know that italian Postal Service is one of the worst in the world but a seller that use China Post shouldn't be so squeamish!
I've noticed Italy being excluded on a lot of eBay items as well and never new why, it's odd to think one European country would have a post service so much worse than the others.
Are the postmen to busy at bunga-bunga parties? :P
can you not use a shipping program where you ship it to them and they ship it to you? family, friends outside italy? hell i'd do it for you but it would cost u more on the shipping..
btw.. I ordered one of the zoom lights from the one guy..I need a zoomy and it looks half decent..
