Been off the site for several months - Olight S15 ordered - plus other interesting lights discovered

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Hi everyone, I’ve been off the site completely since June. I’ve been lurking for several days and wow It’s amazing how there’s been a lot of new and exciting things here in the past 4 months! It’s good to be back.

Just ordered an Olight S15 and looking at several other new lights as well.

Got my S15 on ebay here (USA seller) for $35.90

I’m ordering a 3rd extension tube for it from Battery Junction to use the 3AA option.

I’m intrigued by the Olight S15 limited edition polished titanium version.

I’ve also recently discovered some other interesting lights while surfing the usual online shops:

@Wallbuys:
TrustFire TR-A9-2 (I’m a sucker for side switches, lots of knurling & stainless bezels) Plastic lens? Fasttech version shows glass lens
XinTD X3 (I’m a sucker for 26650 lights)
LusteFire 3XU2-X3 (I’m a sucker for big a flashlights)
Warsun ET26
Warsun CT9S
On The Road the Second Generation X6A Side switch w/Battery status indicator light & the “Must have” Lifesaving hammer function!
(Really I just like the name)

@ ShenZhen Wholesale
LusteFire 1x26650
15 x CREE XM-L T6 (UltraFire 15XT6 clone?) Anyone have a 15x ??

@ DX:
FANDYFIRE SP00 Just like the look of it (I’m a sucker for extra knurled parts)
Small Sun ZY-T23 (Did I mention I’m a sucker for side switches?)
RUSTU R43S 4 x Cree XM-L (I’m just a sucker for flashlights :slight_smile: )

@ Fasttech:
TrustFire TR-S700 (Wondering how this one would compare to my BST)
Trustfire TR-J19

@ebay:
Skyray M4 Kung Black version w/4 cheap batteries and 2 cheap chargers. Never got a KING so maybe I need a KUNG?
(Are these only sold on ebay??)

Please post about any other new lights out recently that I (or anyone new on here) should know about. Thanks.

Welcome back, you never really leave BLF. You just go on sabbatical.

Welcome back home beam0! :bigsmile:

Just to inform you.

The Xintd X3, can be bought from intl-outdoor, you then get more and better emitter options as well as a better Qlite driver. Price is slightly higher though so it depends on your preferences...

Edit: Its still on Group buy at WB for 33,99$

The TR-A9-A2 does not have the best pill..

Lots of nice lights on the list above! :beer:

That XinTd X3 from wallbuys is a mean heavy little bitch. Bright and solid with excellent maching/anodizing.

Thank you Boaz! (and phinvent) Don’t know how I missed that one, looks like an awesome little light, reminds me of my Olight S20. And I really like the optional charger head!

Also I’m wondering if it comes with the 2 different glass breaker/self defense spikes pictured that screw into the tail? (description says it includes “1 x attack head” but the photos show 2 different styles.
Plus I suppose it would screw on to a standard tripod?
What a great price: only $20.99 (without charger head) with coupon code bgf135 (Thanks phinvent….link here)

Strange 145 sold and not one review. Anyway at that price I need it!

Thanks for the welcome and the info, it’s great to be back! I really like the NW option from I/O, but the group buy price is hard to resist. Hmmmm.

10

Thanks phsinvent, very useful information! I suppose that XinTd X3 would be a good upgrade/replacement for my (loveable but unreliable) HD 2010?

11

Now you can get best both worlds here.

Use coupon bgf141, or BLF for even better price. ;)

12

banggood has the emitter options for the XinTd X3 and I think even has a better driver than the wallbuys one .

None come with the qlite as an option .even the one from international outdoors seems to not have the the q lite driver or as many emitter options .

13

Awesome, thank you!

14

Thanks again for the info and update! BTW, are you saying the banggood version may have the “qlite” driver? I couldn’t see anything much different in the descriptions so I was wondering why do you think the banggood version may have a better driver? And do you think it would be the same driver used in the T6-4C as would be in the U2-1A?

phsinvent, I’d like to use 26650 ion this light, what battery are you using in your XinTd X3?
