Nice find!

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder on that one. /shrug

Thesen TwoSun lights are also in AliExpress!

To bad the UIs are normally H-L-Strobe. And to bad that this AAA light is probably similar to the one reviewed here where the driver and the led are in the same platform :weary: It would be a nice host otherwiseâ€Ķ

Too expensive.

Not very budget LEP from Maxtoch . Powered by 2x 20350 :disappointed:

When it comes to hunting LEP has so many sensitive parts that I don’t even doubt it would fail under heavy recoil plus non adjustable beam would cover only 200+ hunting situations and most hunting situations are up to 100 meter.

But you noticed right Maxtoch LEP is the cheapest of them allâ€Ķ Not expensive at all IMHO if someone want to play with it.

The short or ‘slim’ L2K is the most attractive of the larger LEPs IMO. Its on my ‘if I win a scratch off ticket’ list. Just wish it worked on 1S liion.

For almost the same price you can have this LEP powered by more common batteries - 2x 21700

March K8S

This one is basically in the style of those 18650 tactical ring tube lights we have seen so many of but upsized to 21700.

  • It’s a tank
  • It’s very nicely machined (very smooth, chamfer in right spots) and anodized (smooth ano)
  • SS bezel
  • Tons of spare parts (extra switch, extra glass, extra o rings, extra switch boot) & accessories (18650 adapter “bands”, wrist strap not pictured)
  • Retaining rings everywhere
  • Tail stands
  • Reverse switch
  • Can be locked out via tail
  • LMH modes w/ memory (dbl click strobe)

I got the SST-40 in Sand color. It’s about ~115/770/1600 lumens on each mode. Bezel inside diameter is about 26.5mm

Ordered 4/26, delivered 5/17 to US.

One of my favorite budget friendly brand.

Not from 2021, butâ€ĶSupfire G20: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002587188375.html

Ordered one yesterday! :slight_smile:
Front led + Laser + Side Led

Ramping on front and side led, High CRI on the side led, red laser to be used with my aunt’s cats! Magnetic tailcap, USB-C, Powerbank, only 2000mAh, back clip, and hook to hang! :sunglasses: :beer:

Supfire M20.

FIRE-FOXES-FF5. Best looking XEON to date.

Supfire GT60

that FF5 is a $1300 USD light which is hardly a “budget” light. Looks very impressive, but spec is only 10k lumen, looks very throwy?

Anyone try the Alonefire SV370(or SV310 as engraved on the body?) yet? Seems like a good multi-emitter light to mess around with I assume it lights up one LED at a time since it’s has a white/yellow/UV LED.

Would like to see more OLED screen integrated into more advanced light models.

So I ended up buying this to play around with. Build is what you would expect from a cheap light. Driver is seated on a cheap spring wire to make negative(?) contact with the body. Not too well versed with the technical stuff. I did slightly disassemble it to get photos for BLF. 1 click for on/off. half press to switch between LEDs. Might need to make better contact with the battery since switching LEDs is finicky and flickers when on.
