done!

Just noticed that the site I found it on said the deal is for 3 days, but it had just been changed to 1 day in the last few hours.

Anyone know if this next mode memory?

Looks exactly like ebay cheapie with generic 1W emitter (and of course, next mode memory).

Anyone can confirm this has real XRE? No emitter picture on Tmart site.

ez: care to share the site you get these from? :smiley:

ezarc, you sure do find some bargains!

Definitely looks like the one that floods my eBay searches for cheap lights; those tend to go for $6+ irrc.

Got one - Code worked at check out.

@ezarc : thanks for the code.

Looks nice to me.

The Review is of a different light you linked to ezarc. They look identical but appear to have different drivers and Leds.

Yeah I just realized that and deleted my comment, I told the rep and she said they are Q5. I’m still trying to get pics of it from her.

:beer: Good luck

LOL, I still can't believe they actually put an XML running at 2A into this. Link here for the XML version review (which is not this one) for those who didn't read it.

I'll pass on this one, already have one of the generic version. Just some info based on mine for you guys, feel free to choose whether you want to buy it:

Good:
1. Can run 3xAAA or one 18650 if using the extension (standard thread, by itself worth $1)
2. Can remove head and run as mule, great for lighting whole room
3. Unexpectedly good thermal transfer to body, probably due to screw-in style of the pill

Bad:
1. Body is really thin.
2. Clicky button a bit flimsy (these differs between sellers)
3. Tailcap boot quite thin and not standard size
4. Next-mode-memory on mine that remembers forever. Easily fixed though with the new pencil trace method.

My opinion - the EDI-T at $4 on Wallbuys last sale was a much better value foor zoomie. For this price though, it's worth it, as some backup AAA you keep around the house.

Like lots of the cheap generic zoomies there are good ones and bad ones .clones of clones of a clone.

any of them with a cree emitter are generally pretty decent lights for the money . 3.50 is cheap

I bought a few really bad ones from bestincoin before with a silly colored plastic ring around the head and an odd emitter

I forget what these were called ..c78's?. c30?

these have the extra 18650 ring which is nice ..The ring to go from 3AAA's to an 18650 used to sell for a buck.

They took a few pics, looks to be XR-E.

Shrunk down version below:

Yep, it works — only $3.50, Thanks ezarc

For $3.50 you better believe I ordered one… because I need another 3xAAA sitting on my desk… clearly. :smiley:

If nothing else I can always give it away.

This flashlight will be sent to you from Hongkong warehouse.

No tube for 18650?

Battery Configuration : 1 x 18650 / 3 x AAA batteries
