Just saw this and thought it looked pretty cool…
…
18650 powered, XP-G3, metal “1288” tail switch, USB charging, Titanium.
Must have been a lower price recently, when google’d it still shows ” US$31.50”
Here’s some more eye candy:
I don’t know much about XP-G3 though. Better than XP-G2 I suppose?

Is there a discount code for this light?
Looks sweet. What are the chances it’s actually titanium?
Also, if you have to unscrew the head from the battery tube to access the charging port, how does it work at all? Am I looking at this wrong?

This gouges just make me think ‘Ow! My hand!’. How deep are they?

My thoughts exactly on both points.

My Hexbright works that way. You unscrew it part way and insert the USB cable. Works well for in-vehicle charging, for example. You can even tighten it up a little to prevent the cable from pulling out.
Who knows if this one works the same.
I honestly think this is a very very pretty light, but I would be more likely to buy it if it was confirmed to not be heavy stainless steel.

They say “Titanium Alloy”. Maybe made from grade 5 bar stock, but coming from china it’s anyone’s guess what it really is.

Not sure about the light itself, but I find the “twist” to be very aesthetic!

BG specs are 49.8 g w/o battery. Very good looking light. I’d swap out the XP-G3 for an XP-L HI and a non-disco mode driver.

It’s a nice looking flashlight and I was interested to know more about the brand and find out that their AA flashlight is pretty much the same with BTU’s flashlight

Titanum price isnt that high btw, it actualy dropped over 3 times past 5 years( 3.8$ per kg atm) and it will continue to fall since Russia develops several new foundings
I keep my eye for a S2 looking Ti EDC for some time
