I like this one: Title: 1000 Lumen CREE XM-L T6 LED Flashlight Torch Light Lamp
It would match the grey Courui D01 nicely. Wonder how it throws?

^ That looks like a clone of the Trustfire X6. If it is, that seems like quite the deal. What throws me off though is how small it looks in that lady's hand.

Powerflash 2x18650 - $10.99 from Meritline
http://www.meritline.com/cree-q5-5-mode-320-lumen-led-flashlight—-p-759…
$10.99 w/Code: MLCG30UN (NOTE : At least when I ordered, they also added $1.99 shipping and handling)
Might be good as a potential 2×18650 host, or for a resistor mod depending on the driver?
There is a free shipping option that doesn't result in a $1.99 charge.

Ah, thanks Ima4Wheeler. I was wondering what I could compare it to. You’re right though…the size doesn’t seem the same…
In this review, the Trustfire X6 is at least 1 catlength… https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/5420

I'm guessing it's the smaller-sized clone of the X6. I had one for a bit; nice bit of throw after getting an upgrade to XM-L2 and a better driver. I sold it off to someone who needed a light. I think it came from Manafont.
So anyway, why do I gotta be so broke now? Christmas season hit me hard this year...

^ That makes sense. Comparing to TyBreaker's link, there are differences in the cooling fins and such.

That $1.99 light is apparently quite good as a host for some cheap modding .
……but as already noted, the crazy shipping charges completely kill the deal. You can get them for $1.67 delivered at BIC.

Well that fueled my fire, Jubeldum! I have a 5amp driver from mtnelectronics that might be perfect for it. Thanks for the link.

If it is a match, the pill has reverse threads and unscrews clockwise.

Guess I got so caught up looking into the light, that I failed to noticed the “Out of Stock” message on the page Can’t even add it to my wishlist. Oh well… I’ll have to find another deal on this style light.
