I don’t have experience with either of these but I do have the OTR clone they sell and it is fine. Strange modes for many experts here but quality seems good.
Please note that the “ramping” levels are marked differently on these stores (and on this one I believe more in Amazon):
AliExpress: 1% > 100%
Amazon: 5% > 100%
Don’t forget this old standby (all over ebay too). Clone of a Spark headlamp. Here is a link to my simple mod to a mule done years ago. Still use frequently. Easy to mod, accepts any 17mm driver.
I’m not going to add that one to the list. I’d like the list to be lights of decent to high quality that people have tried and say “Yeah, that’s a good light”. If I put every 3 to 4 dollar ebay light the list would get super long and not be very helpful. I hope you understand.
Your link will still be here if anyone is interested in it.
Hum, it may be Jason, but only if the specs and incorrectly written.
The Boruit has all the modes Low>High>Strobe> OFF, but the “dimming” seems to go from UP to Down in 4 or 5 steps, while the Shuolide is Low>High>OFF and seems to have a real “ramping” style, not by modes! At least it was what I understood from the several readings I made on different models. Please let me know if I’m wrong here!
But, again, the specs are not always “understandable”
BTW, I just bought the Shuolide by 8.89€, meaning half the price it had yesterday Meaning, less than a quarter than the more than $40 USD it is priced on Amazon! :money_mouth_face:
I really hope it has a nice ramping from bottom to top an top to bottom!
I just received an Olight H2R Nova and I am blown away.

I have been interested in this headlamp form Amazon Headlamp
It claims to use “ULTRA-BRIGHT: CREE XPE-R3” so I’m not to familiar with the LED as far as color temperature.
200 lumen high might not be real exciting.
What has my interest is the included 14500 cell with USB charging function. This would be the first 14500 usb re-chargeable I have seen advertised.
A non- 14500 alkaline version is offered for $2 less.
I have to admit I ’m kinda cheap so I don’t know if I’d throw $20 at it. I think for $20 or so the Wowtac might be a better deal.
