Sorry to report that you had better luck with that light than I. My example had a very poor quality lens with defects, and only pulled between 0.67A and 0.82A on high. The body and switch are of very good quality, however.
My sub-$10 gem is the Sipik-68 and the clones thereof. I wrote a thread about it at the other site (pre-crash), and it converted quite a few to the Gospel of the Finite Wallet....
I'm very pleased with my protected 3100s, BTW. Noticing about 100mAh more capacity after 3 full cycles. Thanks again !!!
This, its 19 cents over your $10.99 budget including delivery but well worth it. And the seller is a highly trusted ebay outlet. You won't get a better 18650 light for the price.
That was my first 18650 light. It has a fair share of well earned battle scars. It's been used for gun light (predator control) the poor thing has been in snow mud water and even took a 20' fall from my tree stand. It should not be working but for some reason it is. The only issue with it is the tail cap threads are bad. My fault for not lubeing. A piece of tape or plastic wrap around them and it's back in business. They should rename it (Timex) for some reason keeps on ticking.
VFMaddict, thats funny I was just looking at that today for the first time and thinking wow, for that price its got to be about the best deal going or a pile of junk lol. Maybe I could talk them down the $0.19?
It just makes my life easier when I can tell my wife it was only Ten Bucks
Chicago X, I have had a few other people say the same thing. I may throw one in the charger for some back to back cycles and see what happens.
A close-up enlargement of the pill picture shows it to be solid so its modable at a later date although should have decent throw to start with. Given this one can't go that far wrong for a 40mm head host at $11.18p or less
