I tend not to order from dx cuz I hate waiting almost a month to get my order, so I don’t have any of these lights, but the best zoomer you can get is only $5 at fastech the ultrafire z-06 ….oh wait it’s 18650. sorry my post is not helpful at all. lol
BTW, don’t know if there’re zoomie’s out there where you’d ‘turn’ to zoom. I find that mechanism works better than the sliding mechanism if you want the zoom level not to be accidentally changed easily.
No looking for a professional light that gets me best of both worlds at this price point. Somewhat zoomable is good enough. I just need a wider flood when needed and change to spot when I need to hightlight the target object.
I like the somewhat slimmer ones as they’d fit better (non-tactical means it won’t tear my jeans).
Th option for AA battery means in a power outage I can grab some alkaline batteries and it’s good to go for a short while.
I might try out some of these on the list from DX — as long as the runtime is > 1hr (for NiMH) and they don’t come DOA that makes my day.
