I think most people here would only be interested in that as a host, but there’s a message I want to get to all budget torch manufacturers:

If you make a torch with three modes, please make them low, medium, and high - don’t put strobe in the main mode group.

On the bright side, at least it’s not being advertised as 40,000lm or more, so that’s a good thing.

Info on the emitter? CT/tint?

Yeah, I might grab a few for hosts, especially if it’s got a cheap emitter. The driver for sure gotta be replaced, as it’s probably just one of those 3-pin controllers and a half-dozen chip-resistors acting as a ballast.

4bux, though, unless it’s really crappy inside, that’s quite nice!

Would be nice if this light was also made available to BLF-members outside the US.

The code is still available.
In addition, the flashlight’s packaging contains no batteries.
But if you are a member of the BLF, you can contact me after purchasing the flashlight.We can send you 2 rechargeable 18650 batteries for free.
Thanks!

Although these are probably G.N.F Good For Nothing

Oh, I missed out on getting that C8-looking light for 4bux. I’m so deeply saddened by this.

I’m not currently in need of any more headlamps, unfortunately.

Is there a remedy for this troubling situation?

Lightbringer · 2018-05-02T16:38:07.000Z

Okay, I got one, so here’s a little “review” of the C8-ish light…

It came in brown box, no damage at all from bouncing around in the rather huge Amazon box.

The light was in a drawstring carrier, like for a very very short umbrella, the light itself in a bubblewrap baggie, not a scratch on it.

Semigloss black ano, quite nice. Very very lightweight, threads are not anodised (so no tailcap lockout), but are buttery smooth.

Switch has a nice crisp click to it. Standard “pogo-stick” design. Half-press works nicely.

Now the disappointing parts…

Looks like a pretty cool (6500K+) XP-E, no thermal goop on the shelf, so it’s just floating around on there.

Plastic(!!) reflector, but glass front. Don’t go swapping an XP-L and pushing 10A through it, or the reflector will melt on ya.

Looks like a generic cheap driver, unregulated except for parallelled chip-resistors and probably the typische 3-pin µC doing the modes.

Thin spring had my flat-top LG bouncing around in there only making intermittent contact. Had to physically pull on the spring to stretch it to make good contact with the cell. I’m at work, so no meter to measure tailcap current in the different modes.

Speaking of which… modes: high, low, single-freq strobe. Could be good for light-painting.

Throws a nice tight hotspot, so it’ll reach, even if it doesn’t belt out 1000lm.

Now the really disappointing part. I was nicely offered a pair of 18650s, but they clocked in at only 1650mAh and 1250mAH on my brawny-but-not-almighty Opus ’3100. Eep!

So, all in all, it’s a C8-ish light, has some nice qualities like a nice finish and smooth threads, but I’d ditch the reflector and driver. The emitter might be usable, but I prefer warmer CTs. The reflector (plastic and all) and spacer fits nicely over the XP-E and holds together a decent beam, so it should be easy to swap in a colored XP-E2 (red, green, etc.) if you want a decent “hunting light”.

I mean, let’s face it, for 4bux or even 6bux, it’s not going to be in the same class as a C8F or C8T or anything, but it’ll be easy to do a little swapping and make a decent light out of it, even keeping the plastic reflector.

And since I still can’t find a Black Cat (made in Gemany), having a Street Cat is pretty kewl.
