Please excuse me stretching the definition of a flashlight but I think this way of using flex PCBs and magnets is interesting yet not worth its own thread.

The seller claims itās titanium:
Looks a lot like the old (and new) 47ās ML light.
Yep looks like the old 47ās Titanium mini ā¦
.
. And 47ās Quark MiNi AA Titanium Gen 2
.
Iād take 1 of eachā¦ who wants the other 599?
That short fat one is definitely cute.
18350 or 16340?
That MOQ thoughā¦
And they seem to be twisties, which isā¦ hmmmā¦
ā¦which is interesting for QTC dimming.
Hey, I havenāt realized that. I wonder if itās the OEM or a cloneā¦
Iām in for 1 AA.
Anyway, 600 pieces seems a lot for a BLF-only GB. But maybe it would be reasonable for someone like Astrolux?
BTW, they have also this:

BTW, searching by image has led me to this:
Iād absolutely be in for those 47s Ti clones/oem hosts. Theyāve always been the on my short list for best looking lights. Definitely a group buy Iād be excited about.
Thus looks like a magnetic ring rotary switch light. Beautiful. Too bad minimum 10 pieces to order.
Magnetic ring rotary switch on a titanium AAA light at that price? I just assumed it was a simple twisty light. On/off. Maybe high/low.
Itās spot on Sunwayman M11R Ti.
It says minimum order of 10 @35$...
Maybe a GB?
But in details itās shown something else :/
Purchases on alibaba.com need to bought with a single payment and a shipment of the entire lot to one address. Shipping costs are extra and the shipment will likely be charged import duty. Here in the US, a small shipment of a few items never has a tarriff collected but a large shipment will, as customs looks at it as a commercial order. I do not have any idea at what $ value tarriffs kick in or if there are other criteria considered as well.
I contacted tatasal with the hope that he could convince Banggood to stock them. I think it could be a win-win situation, 600 lights is probably too much for us but not for them.
The choice of tatasal might not have been perfect as he said he had just shallow BG contacts.
BTW, another host:

I wonder if itās possible to swap the LEDs for the rngwn ones.
Another interesting host:

AC input, USB input, built-in batteryā¦not bad for a humble light bulb.
Very interesting concept, a single flashlight head that can be used as a handheld flashlight or as a headlamp.

I donāt think Iāve seen this AAA twisty before. I kinda like it:
