I have 2 really budget lights, a 1AA TrustFire C3 with P4 LED and a Sipik SK58 with OGD LED.
Now I'm looking for something more serious, a decent but good value XM-L light, 1 or 2 * 18650, since I've already got batteries (flames and unprotected TF) and a charger.
I also got a load of LEDs, 3mm, 5mm, 1W and 3W emitters on stars and some 18650 battery holders, so will try my hand at building some lights myself.
The price was right and I really like the look and size of it.
I'm gonna order a couple of 8x7135 5-mode drivers from KD anyways and might swap the driver if I don't like the output of the X9.
I read that it's hit and miss when it comes to current readings with X9's bought on ebay.
The KD C8 will be on my list as a possible next buy, as so many here seem to like it a lot. I've been checking C8's on ebay before, but I didn't trust some of the offers, as feedback wasn't always possitive (wrong emitters and such).
I'll remember to check out KD when the time has come to buy something new.
