Christmas campaing? Hope DX bring us this in a cheaper version without gift box!
Ultrafire U20, XPG-R5 AA/14500.
But what is this?????
" switch: hight brightness when base is fixed, when loosened, three modes: high, low and strobe."
What means this? Like in the Fenix flashlights? Turn the bezel you have turbo mode and unturn the bezel you have 3 modes in the tailcap switch?

Those dont have xpg-R5 the ultrafire U20 is suposed to have xpg R5 and extrange bezel turbo mode
It's slightly cheaper at manafont $21.90
But really R5?
Umm EDIT: the photo showing only the led could be taken from another flashlight, but the one showing the led in the pill, shows something similar to xpg: I cant see the 3 holes surrounding the die.
PROBABLY XPG
Also, about the modes DO you see the extrange pill? the black part? can be the "rotation part" explained in kaido description?
"turn the bezel you have turbo mode and unturn the bezel you have 3 modes in the tailcap..."
Also: 148 grams??? is made of LEAD?
ship weight may include the box.
Got a few the other day and tested two. With bezel loose, you have a medium-low, a high setting and a strobe setting. Order seems to be high, medium-low and strobe.
With a fuly charged AA Enloop, the "turbo" setting seem very similar to the high setting. In both of the flashlights I got from Manafont, I have not found a way to go from "turbo" to any setting other than "strobe". i.e. if you start, say at medium-low or hight and then go to turbo, when you loosen the bezel you go automatically to strobe. Also, "Turbo" on an Enloop is not all that high, and not in the class of "high" or "turbo" on a Quark AA2.
It does seem well built though. Comes in a nice box with a strap. Instruction/spec sheet is in Chinese only.

Photos please!!!!!!!!!!
Aloha and welcome to BLF inrem! 
Probably the TURBO mode is only with 14500, meaning turbo mode as "direct drive" while HIGH-MED-LOW are probably current limited...
Now the U20 is also available WITHOUT gift box and cheaper, also at manafont:

I am waiting a review on this monster. Also waiting to be available to purchase at DX!
Mine is stuck in Hong Kong. Sometime in the next month or so with any luck. It was a birthday present to myself, but that birthday is past now...
Ah well, maybe it'll get here for Christmas instead.
My opinion has gone up.
-Well constructed - yes (same opinion as before)
-Three modes with a loose bezel (strobe, medium and high). Turbo on an Eneloop is no different than the "high" setting with a loose bezel.
-Unscrews to four parts (tail/clicky; tube; light part (with "Ultrafire" inscribed 3x on the back) and the bezel/reflector. 3 appropriate black o-rings, all threads are well machined, threads have a light coat of oil lube.
-Going from turbo to regular mode will automatically result in the flashlight going into strobe.
-Memory takes about 4 seconds to kick in.
-Medium is a bit lower than "high" on a Quark aa2, but a more "white" light (my Quark's light has a slightly green tone, where as this has perhaps a slightly purple tone). High is more than "high" on a Quark aa2, but not in the league as "turbo" on an aa2.
-Spread of the beam is similar to that on a Quark aa2.
So, I will basically ignore the "turbo" feature and treat it like a quality light with two practical modes and a strobe (and ignore the "turbo" feature). Next I will figure out the proximate Eneloop run-time.
Yep, could be.
Inrem, have you tried it with 14500?
I don't own any 14500s.
As to runtime, I took one U20 on the loose bezel higher setting, one on the medium setting and kept a third as a control (I had high hopes, so bought a few).
I popped in a fresh Enloop into each (Enloops not really broken in, but from a fresh pack and charged in a LaCrosse 900 last week.)
One on high: Got quite warm, but not uncomfortable, in under 10 minutes. By about 55 minutes, it was no longer brighter than the one on medium. By 1:02 I could look directly at the Led without a real problem (still a very usable low). Less than "moonlight" by 1:07. I tried to change modes at 1:13 and it went dead.
One on medum: Never got more than the slightest tough warm. Right now, we are at 1:20 with no changes. Has not gotten hot (perhaps the slightest bit warm). I just ran a quick test of loose bezel modes (high, medium and strobe) and they are all still options.
When flashlight #2 goes down, I will post that runtime as an update and what voltage the LaCrosse charger says the batteries are at.
Thx for the info, inrem. What about regulation?
Note: some individual flashlights are somewhat brighter than others. For most of the runtime (until things started to die) the brightness was close to how bright the lights were nearish the start of each test.Try #1:
High: 55 minutes until the "high" mode was no brighter than the medium.
Equal to a usable "low" by 1:02. Lost power while checking alternate
modes at 1:13. After resting the batteries for a while, I could get a
few more minutes of usable light on high.Medium: I noticed that the light was somewhat diminished at 2:13. Equal
to a usable "low" at 2:26. Lost power while checking alternate modes at
2:31 (I did that quickly every 10 minutes or so when things started to
fade on each mode). After resting the batteries for a while, I could get
a few more minutes of usable light.Try #2: same parameters as above. I took genuine Enloops (From Thomas Distributing) that were
fresh from the pack and were charged (straight charge, no
charge/discharge cycle) last week. Starting voltage: 1.35v as per my
LaCrosse BC-900 (the minute I took the batteries from the charger last week, they were reading
closer to 1.48v this PM before insertion, 1.35v).High: Same result. At 56 minutes, the high mode flashlight had the same apparent output of the one on medium.
Flashlight was a usable "low" at 1:05, and was usable moonlight at 1:08. I tried changing modes at 1:13 and lost power.
Voltage of battery immediately after full power loss: .91v as stated on a LaCrosse BC-900 chargerMedium: Relatively consistent until 2:14 (when I noticed a drop - very consistent with try #1). Usable low at 2:27.
Moonlight 2:33. I tried a mode change then and lost power. End voltage: 87v.Conclusion: The strobe setting in this light is completely useless for
me and annoying. If this was a truly bright light, it might have some
minimum functionality, but as-is, I can see no occasion where I would use
"Strobe" and not, in the alternative, pull out a can of pepper spray or,
if warranted, a handgun.The "turbo" setting is non-functional for
people using this light with AA batteries. The "turbo" setting is less
than useful for people using AA batteries, as going from "turbo" to a
loose bezel regular puts the flashlight in strobe mode (it might be of
some use if it went from "turbo" (even if turbo was the same as "high")
to low, but turbo-to-strobe is less than useless.The flashlights are well constructed and do tail stand, but the
run-times are not great. If "strobe" was eliminated and replaced with a
"low" or "very low" that might work for 24-36 or so hours, such a chage would be
a significant improvement. If "turbo" actually worked with AA
batteries, and loose-bezel to tight-bezel toggled from turbo to a low or
very low, this would be a great flashlight.
Will try my luck and order a couple Manafont stainless steel 3 mode C3s
(which may do most of the above).
Why the hell don't they build flashlights with low mode? This selection converts something very good in something nearly useless if long runtimes are needed in certain ocasions. And 3-mode with strobe is even worse than a 2-mode. I wonder who designs these flashlights.
Now there is available a new version of this flashlight but with xm-l LED
It will not throw much, but....
