Good news! Found SK-68 and other budget lights from US eBay seller for decent prices!

Same here Moto, or at least mine is a wobbly tailstand. Can you measure your tailcap current?

(Wishing my Tomtop's would arrive.)

1.8A with freshly charged 14500. Essentially the same tailcap current as my TomTop.

Wow such a quick response! How about on an NiMH and/or Alkaline? (Haven't yet tried a 14500 in mine.)

Haven't checked that, can check when I get home.

I just received one of the Ultrafire Sipik clones (Manafont). Build is much nicer than the two I received from Ebay seller "campingsurvivals". Haven't had time to compare brightness or try a 14500, but so far I really like this Ultrafire one.

Is that a single mode?

Yes, the Manafont Ultrafire clone is single mode. I really think soytnly's post to convert to 3 mode is probably the best way to go.

I forgot to add that the "el cheapo" flashlight does also thread into this Ultrafire clone. I believe someone questioned this in another thread, but I tried it and it does work. (Still different colors, as my Ultrafire is "gray" (it's not actually gray, but probably more what I would consider "gun metal" - it's a darker gray).

First post here on BLF I just received my first Sipik SK68 clone from ebay seller campingsurvivals. I can only compare it to my 3D LED maglight.. This little thing is blindingly bright and it throws like no tomorrow. I measured 1.77 amps at the tailcap with a fresh 2000mah eneloop. For 9 bucks shipped I am happy with this light. This light also tailstands on and off perfectly with no wobble.

note you can go to tomtop.com and buy direct as well as through ebay, free shipping either way
