amazon has something called “Flashlight,Baomabao Mini 3500LM Zoomable CREE Q5 LED Flashlight 3 Mode Torch Super Bright Light Lamp”
i bought one.
for $1.90, plus $1.00 shipping.
the description is a total lie.
i wanted it to have light level modes, other than “ON”.
it doesn’t.
it also is not 3500 lumens, cree q5, did not have a ‘strap’, is probably not very waterproof, it is not Powered by 18650 battery” (actually 1 x AAA)
the light color is bluish, the finish is probably paint instead of anodizing.
lumens maybe 100 at most.
what it is, though, is the smallest AAA light ever with a tail switch.
shorter than the singfire 348.
the zoom isn;t bad
it;s so light it can go on a hat brim, and it is fairly bright.
i complained to the company and they refunded me all the money $3 woo hoo, but in the end it was free, i didn;t have to send the light back
amazon says it is currently unavailable.
—this was my review, some may be redundant—-
2.0 out of 5 stars
SUPER Cheap, small, but VERY poor product description:1 mode not 3, 100 lumens not 3800,not 10 watts, AAA not 18650, no strap.

Cheap, small, but VERY poor product description:1 mode not 3, 100 lumens not 3800,not 10 watts, AAA not 18650, no strap.
—on the plus side—
cheap
very small, smallest AAA ever
light (weight)
it does work
fairly bright, though probably battery life is not great, or it gets dimmer and lasts a few hours at reduced brightness
it zooms, i don;t really like zooming but at least that part was accurate
==more minuses-
BIG: 1 mode, having dimming modes is why i BOUGHT the thing, but it does not have them
button is very hard to press
does not tail-stand
light color is poor/cheap - very blue, some pink tinge
clip works but would be hard to turn around to put on a baseball cap, to make a headlight
—you can do it but it sort of makes the zoom be stuck on spotlight mode
