Hi,
Could someone please tell me what brand and where is the best place to get one of these!! Also would you recommend the single led or the multiple led!!
Thanks!!
I have the single LED version, and I think that’s the one most people tend to recommend.
I just noticed Fasttech has it now!
You’re local so you can purchase from Tmart and it ships from their US warehouse

Fast Tech is great for overseas purchases though
True, Tmart ships from USA, plus if you order today, this code will give you 5% off all flashlights! “2NDLIGHT”
Of course Fasttech is also 5% off with code “BLF”
Thanks!!!
Looking at this light on Tmart and it shows no manufacture!! I know I’ve ordered from some sellers on Ebay that sell for Tmart and they show now markings in their photos as well… When I get them they are usually marked Ultrafire, Tangsfire, etc. is that the same thing here you think??
Don’t get the 3x T6 version. It has bad heatsinking. Just get the single LED version and you’ll be very happy with it.
I agree! My light from Tmart was a TangsFire. Nothing but good to report.
I’ve got a bunch of 18650 cells from laptop batteries and button top!! Should I invest in a 26650 batteries and a charger for the HD or just use the 18650’s in it??
Either will work, but best output will be using a 26650.
I hope it is a Tangsfire!! I ordered a Tangsfire TS-923 from them and its built like a tank!!
Thanks again!! This flashlight thing is getting a little addictive!! My wife is about to throw a fit but my boys are enjoying it so I’m using them as a scapegoat!! Lol
but you know you’re going to get a 26650 light sooner or later anyway, so…
the single emitter 2010 is awesome! i didn’t want to like it because it is a little large for the pocket, but it is really great and you should have one. as Richie086 said above, i’ve read all bad stuff about the triple, and all good about the single.
as BetweenRides said, mine is a tangsfire, whatever that means, it is a cool greyish color ( i know everyone likes black, but i get sick of it and don’t see why there can’t be more colors), and i got it from the tmart us warehouse. it rocks!
Is their a specific charger I should be looking for? For the 26650’s that is!!
My favorite charger is the Sysmax/Nitecore i4
This light is built around 26650 so definitely get one!
I use the King Kong INR and it’s fantastic. It’s well reviewed.
i think it is maybe model 005 that everyone likes. it probably charges faster than mine. i have an older tr-003p4 that i paid around $13 for, and is still available for that price (sorry, don’t know exactly where, but grandma google will find it for you). i have charged everything from 10440’s to 26650’s in it without issue. it is not fast, but that is better for cell lifespan anyway, and it stops charging when it is supposed to. i don’t ever recommend it, but i have fallen asleep and left it charging several times overnight without blowing anything up, so i do like this charger, especially for under $15.
Where’s the best place to get king kongs, possibly in the US?
And, not to thread-jack or be rude, but if I already own a DRY should ieven get a hd2010? Or does it out throw the turbo version of the DRY?
I have the TMart model on the way, should be here any day. Note that they no longer ship from Jersey. They changed it to Intl a while back. When I ordered it was Intl.
I also heard that they sometimes have brand names on them, other times blank, but I’ve heard nothing but good about this particular one.
The Dry isn't a thrower; it's a flooder, so yes get one! I bought my King Kong from Int'l Outdoor Store, but now they force you to buy in pairs.
The ML-102 (or ML-101 or ML-103) chargers are good too. That's what I use. The Trustfire TR-005 mentioned above is well liked for a faster charger. Stay away from the 2 bay TF-006 version though - many have burnt up (hope I got those model numbers right).
