I have no reason to buy this one, since I already have Convoy S2 and S2+. But it is for $2.99, so I pulled the trigger. I hope it is not totally bad.

So you where just curious and bought it?
Well let us know how you like it …
Also available in silver:
If it has proper memory, I'd probably be down for one.
That's not too bad for $3 I bought 1 for $5 It had a plastic reflector and XRE Q5
$3? I'll bite. Looks like it may have potential if the pill is okay...
how is the pill ? can be moded?
looks like same flashlight and same price. You never really know how they compare indeed until you get one though.
Yes, looks like the classic cheapy S5 - I got a bunch and nice to play modding with. Mine worked well with TIR optics. It's cheap, pretty poor heat sinking of course...
Yes, I was just curious and bought it. I didn’t know about the topic that Pregulla mentioned above, that was before I joined the forum. I think this is the same light as mentioned in that topic.
The one from seller poozoo (other thread) was good. Not the XPE part but the host/driver is reasonably good. I especially like that I can’t see the PWM for all modes.
Remove the head and the body actually fits B&D Versapak tools. 
I revived my old wizard, now it’s running on a $3 flashlight LOL…
How can they do it? $3.00 including shipping from China. Must mean that they are making the complete light for in the region of 30 cents or so. Amazing. I did not know that you could buy the LED and switch for that.
I bought two of these in Wallbuys year end sales last year for $3. They both come with XP-E actually and they have solid pill.
I have the S5 version of that…
the pill isn’t even threaded in, it’s a smooth block that just slides down and uses a screw ring to hold it in…
Threads are thin and unanodized, body is thin, no real thermal management so driving it hard is out of the question
The kids enjoy it but it is NOWHERE near the quality of the Convoy
Plus I have to replace the click switch in it…it’s split and no longer works
For $3, it makes a good toolbox or beater light…
The UF S5 I bought both have threaded in pill, but the switch is not very good.
Mine are all the floating pill model, pictured in post #90 here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/20152 - the thread referred to earlier. Looks like there are 2 distinctive cheap S5 designs then - chinese lottery, but I'd expect the floating pill model. If you get the threaded one - you got lucky 
. Switch's will always have issues in these cheap lights unfortunately - sometimes piece by piece, or just poor in general, or you can get lucky.
I guess for 3 bucks you take what you get. Any confirmation as yet as to the actual status of the pills in these particular lights?
As to the form factor, as mentioned in another thread, I’ve become quite enamored of mine, with 60° Optics. But I got threaded pills so they get warm quite quickly.
More likely it means they made bazillions of them thinking they’d all sell for 3x Cost, then after the layers of dust blocked the silk-screened logos, they cut prices (perhaps several times — I notice eBay claims them to be “4.99” until you click on them) to make room for the next bazillion gimmicks.
Or maybe the Chinese taxpayers subsidized the whole lot…
these are couple last picture of it before i gifted them away, somewhat similar i guess
its extremely throwy on mine, probably around 100~150 lumens on my estimation. cheap anodization that chips off easily- the whole thing is super cheap overall.
its an okay light overall for the price, but for us probably just another crap, but good for modders
Another one for $2.98 at AliExpress.
If you trust the pics (no guarantee you get what you see) it’s XR-E and solid top brass pill.
If it actually has a pill, might just be worth it
