Check these out… but these prices is good only for today, hurry! :smiley:
F Roche clone XM-L2 $8.50
One of my favorite light Ultrafire 502B XM-L2 $7.99
SK98 XM-L2 $8.50
Zoomie headlamp XM-L2 $11.48
this is very insteresting Zoomie light

and there’s more on other sites too, my wallet is just too lazy to find more :weary:
PS: if you played Aliexpress games few days ago, you could redeem those coupons and bring it even cheaper :money_mouth_face:

The 98 and the headlamp is very tempting.

Is that Roche good…is it a real Roche or a cheapo clone?
oh it says clone…hmm

and damnit…if these are good…my wife is going to kill me!

Last thing I ordered from aliexpress was http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6011319209.html and it wasn’t all that great…even after I modded it

anyone have these and can vouch for em please?

Those SK98 have a 20mm driver…a PERFECT candidate for TexasPyro 20mm Nanjg 105C OSHPark driver…I upgraded mine and LOVE the 4 level w/ no flashies

Keep scrolling down for some lights.

XM-L2 for under $10?!? come on it’s a no brainer :wink: ( not too mention I have few coupons from Aliexpress too )
I don’t even need more light… but for these prices? I think I’m going to giveaway or sell my old XM-L T6 lights for cheap :smiley:

I’ve been watching the build up to this sale and a lot of sellers have jacked up their prices so they’re are actually higher with the sale than they were before.

LOL… I don’t know which store you’ve been watching, but for me this store is definitely dishing out discounts.
I bought few lights from them in the past and about to buy some more when I saw the Spring deals Ads, then I decided to wait 5 days and played their “defender” game for more coupons… now it’s time to buy! :bigsmile:

but seriously… where else you’re going to find lights with XM-L2 for under $10? :bigsmile:

How about this side clicky: $5,95

Before you put anything in your cart, first place it on your wish list. Almost every time I put something on my wish list, I immediately get a notice that the it’s price has just been reduced. I just added 3 lights to my wish list that are not on sale, and the price in my wish list dropped 20%.

If that was an AA battery light, Id get a dozen for gifts.

like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Q5-LED-Portable-Flashlight-Torch-14500-Lamp-3-modes-free-shipping/938524_1700962060.html

So many stuff… too much on the wallet… I’m already out over $100+ (that’s after about $20 festival discount on top of 15–25 price cut), bought a car HUD meter display, a couple of Baofeng 888s talkies, and some smaller stuff.

One serious item to note is this 16mm pure copper board:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/50pcs-Lot-16mm-High-thermal-conductivity-pure-copper-LED-PCB-board-CREE-LED-XML-T5-T6/1443646951.html

That’s like 50c apiece!

I bought this before the sale, I found out the item has arrived just waiting for me to pickup though, and it’s midnight here! I was hoping to confirm whether the copper thermal pad is directly connected to bottom… but unfortunately by the time I got this tomorrow it may be too late to post here for confirmation.

Another notable item:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/10PCS-ORIGINAL-CREE-Xlamp-XML2-XM-L2-T6-10W-WHITE-COOL-WHITE-High-Power-LED-Emitter/102034_1245664900.html

After shipping, less than $3 apiece. Tint (according to seller): White=1A, Cold White=0D for the above.

Those copper boards do not have a copper path all the way to the emitter. They still have a dielectric layer on top the copper.
This doesn’t mean they are bad boards, they just are not the same as a Noctigon.

I bought 2 of these :smiley:

um… maybe because it’s on sale today only? i had several on my wish list for months… it didn’t go down, but today it did:)
lol… keep those light on your wish list longer… a year or two from now, you can get the same light with the next generation of LED on it for the same price :stuck_out_tongue:

how do you knowthese board doesn’t have copper path all the way to the bottom? do you have one of these board on hand? or you’re just guessing it by looking at the picture?
please educate me on this board before I waste my money on these board :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you happen to test this exact one?

IMO this doesn’t look like the copper DX/FT ones (which do have the dielectric layer). I’ve never seen this design before, and the weight is similar to Noctigon, hence my desire to try it.

I just started shopping Aliexpress about a month ago but it’s been like this with almost everything I placed in my wish list. It didn’t just start doing this today.
The only reason I noticed this effect is because I have the Aliexpress app on my phone and I would get a notice on the app that items in my wish list had been reduced.

No, not from this seller. I got some that look the same from LCK-LED and they are non conductive from the LED pad to the base copper layer. Give them a try and let us know if they are copper all the way through. You don’t really lose anything since these are still better than the aluminum MCPCBs and they are cheap :bigsmile:

After that fiasco with the Keenwin flashlights, I am still upset with Ali. I understand that it was the fault of the individual store, not Ali - but Ultra-E is still listed as a vendor on their site.

Of course, it looks like DX may be doing the same with their listing for the 6x XL-L2 SkyRay for 25.76, because they are "out of stock", and probably will be until everyone cancels the orders they made at that price.
