Stars Cree XML Drop in at DD for $8.99, any good?

http://www.dinodirect.com/led-bulb-5mode-1000lm.html

Anyone have experience with the above? $8.99 is cheap compared to the UF from manafont. I've never put a flashlight together before. I was thinking of getting this body: http://www.solarforce-sales.com/product_detail.php?t=FB&s=1&id=20

Is this all the parts I need and will the drop in fit the body? Thanks.

That is an awesome deal. If it isn't a total dud then chances are it's as good as the rest of the mass-produced ones out there (decent). I have a 5 mode (kd or manafont...forget) and a single mode DX one and my 5 mode is awesome. I would buy this for sure if I didn't already have enough.

I also have that body (same place) and it's beautiful. You might look at grabbing a belt clip and bezel at the same time because that site charges $2 to ship each time you order.

It only charges that for 'insurance' which is optional and can be un-selected to save the $2. It's only really necessary on expensive orders..

I don't have experience with Dino, but looks like a super deal! Yeppers, that's all you'd need (assuming you have the 18650 battery).

A moment ago these were out of stock, seems like they are available again.

If I should gamble, I would say these are H-L-Strobe but who knows. A safe better takes 1 x these and 1 x proped driver from Kaidomain to go.

Just ordered one...can't go wrong for that price. Can't find an XM-L on a star for less than that.

Don't put too much hope on these, but still can try if you have one of those $4 504 host specials. As long as it puts out light man!

Lost control pf my finger and ordered one.

If they ship the one pictured(I’m sure they will) then it is a very good drop in. It should be configurable 2 mode with strob or your typical 5 mode and it uses very fast PWM and is hard driven.

You must be refering to DD, right?

My order has been shipped out just 5 hrs after i have paid. Very fast.

Yeah, just in response to the comment about it costing $2 to ship above mine, it doesnt have to ;)

The fake reviews of it on this page cracked me up........

You guys actually read the reviews?!

They already had one, but hidden for the same price

so if you want to get one with smooth reflector, click on link above!

even though the title doesnt show anything about the XML, the picture do

Case in point....

Hell, I can't get an emitter and pill for that let alone the whole works for that price! I bought three of them for $26 and change. Added a pair of trustfire 14500 cells to make it $31 and change then was able to use the "oneworldweshare" code to bring it back down to $26 and change.

Not a bad deal! 3 XM-L dropins PLUS a free pair of TF Flame 14500 cells. SHWEET!

asd

$9 You get a free pill and driver with your emitter ...

You have to shell out , even if you get stuck with High - Med - Blinky rubbish

Fonarevka, you pay usd8.45 only. And DD allows me to pay in local currency, so that is like 3% less also.

This is an XM-L emitter and an XP-G reflector.

Looking forward to reviews.
