Does anyone have the "Police" light? Ebay 1.68

I just bought this light for under 2$, LOL.

Does anyone here have it - is it any good? From the pic it looks nice, and it was the cheapest AA LED I could find on Ebay, so I hope its okay.

I ordered a similar PowerHouse AA in early Jan, but it never arrived, so Im looking fwd to seeing what a really cheap AA can do.

no, do they have other colors?

Looks like it's been baked.

I saw the black but it was like 30cents more expensive so I went with the orange.

I still keep a fascination with these cheap lights and even save those that break.No step to hold the lens in place when dropped.

Yikes if the lens is just pressure fit then it must be pretty cheap.

If mine breaks I can hopefully use it as a learning experience to try to repair it with my solder iron, or epoxy on the lens etc (thanks for telling me about the lens.)

So far I have never worked on or modded my lights.

The only thing I have noted with any flashlight marked ”POLICE” is wanting to call 911 from the feeling being robbed after it arrived.

Inexpensive lights that I use to clean the boiler once a week.The twisty in the back is my EDC.

Police lights may be crap,but they do look flashy,don´t they?

They look very nice to me. May I ask why the light in the middle has a battery with elastic attached to it? Is it so it wont roll?

I learned here on the forum that it was handy to have a spare battery fixed with a rubber band. In real life the battery will last me a year but the band comes to good use hanging it to a hook.

LOL! Lennart, I have that one in the front of the above picture! It doesn't work any more because I loaded a battery wrong way round. Shame really, I kinda liked it in an inexplicable way. Roughly similar output as an average proper 'Low' mode. Not exactly a quality item, but it only cost me a quid. As an emergency tool/glove box light you can't really go wrong. If I can find it again on Ebay I'm going to buy another..

Have to admit they look better than those famous 1$ lights.

Ended up to ordering around 40 of them for give-aways.

I ordered one in black 2 days ago...

You know this is the best!!(this type of pictures, working lights in their most glorious form in the dirt and warned state)

That's horrible, don't buy that, please. I have the black version, ordered from tinydeal I think. Can't dig out where it came from at the moment.

On the other hand I can recommend a cheapo 1xAAA for $2.71: http://www.tinydeal.com/portable-mini-light-led-flashlight-lamp-with-keychain-ring-black-strap-1-x-aaa-battery-powered-fld-7186-p-6829.html

and a cheapo 1xAA for $2.47 (shipping included): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120820143003&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123#ht_2767wt_1398

These are double the brightness from the awful police 3W.

I can take some pics if you want.

HX-G011 is also good, and Small Sun ZY-309, both at DD, but right now they are way more expensive and not any better/brighter.

Buying one of those "Police" lights is like licking a 9-volt battery.

Well that's a pretty rude and stupid thing to say.

Thanks bro, Im going to order this one now. Its the same light I originally ordered from DD (PowerLight brand?) but never received it, hence this post.

And those Ebay shippers are quick, that orange light in my first post already shipped.
