It seems to be really compact with only 17mm in diameter and 88mm in length.
Basic L-M-H boost driver, SS tail clicky and TIR optic, on paper this is a great light for 18$ !
I got 3 on the way! 2 bought, 1 as an offer! They may arrive next week, I hope!
When I get them I can make a “sort” of review. Not that technical, of course
But for the comments on their store, it seems to be a nice light!
A similar model is/was sold in Amazon, I guess, but this seems to be better and made by a “professional” company! The other lights on their store are quite nice too!
EDIT: I asked the seller if they take 14500 batteries, and the answer was “No”! However, a buyer mentioned he was using 14500 batteries without burning the driver! So…this may be a really nice deal, if one can use them with AA (alkaline, Ni-MH) and 14500 Li-Ion!
Looks good! Though I think I’ll prefer function over form and get a Zanflare F2, unless a review shows that comparatively speaking, it is a bad idea because this one is AMAZING
I don’t know for sure about the F2, but the F2S has a XP-G2 not XP-G3 as this light has. It is also a 2AA light, whereas this one uses single AA. And, this light is steel, compared to the anodized Aluminum F2S. The Zanflare F2S seems to me to be a very well-made light, but it isn’t directly comparable to this one in any way. What is it that you’re going for?
Well, in that case, the Zanflare is probably a better light for you. It takes 2xAA, so it will have better run time than this light. And it’s cheaper than this one by a couple USD. More-for-less! :money_mouth_face:
I was going to say something a couple days ago regarding the use of a 14500 cell, but I forgot. If you want a little more output without burning up the driver, you should try a LiFePO4 14500. Most of these boost drivers are actually rated for either 1S or 2S alkaline. So, the LiFePO4 max charge voltage of ~3.6V is close enough. Most of these boost drivers do happen to survive the 4.2V Li-Ion max charge as well, but that’s way outside the range and could cause problems.
