Sunwayman V11R on Ebay, $18.99. 2 left.

For the record,I bought a brand new Efest 850 mAh 16340 for this light. I thought it would fit, but it is about 1 mm longer than the Surefire primaries. if I could just make one more turn of the threads it would make electrical contact, but even with the spring compressed flat, the head will not screw on all the way.
If anyone has a battery that they have put in the light, I am happy to buy a battery that is a good fit…

I have used the Nitecore NL 650mah protected batteries in the V10R and V11R without issues. Maybe not the best protected 16340 battery but I do know they fit.
.
Well I just went thru my 16340 battery stash. The Fenix 700mah ARB-L16-700 is a protected battery and Is a very decent battery. It also fits without problems and is short for a protected 16340.

I had a Jetbeam protected cell laying around. I don’t know who makes it for them. It fits and works just fine as well.

I have the Keeppower protected 16340 in mine from Illumn

hiuintahs:

Another question is that I got one that is a lot higher of a low than all the rest. It works just the same as the others………just that the low is 3.6 lumens instead of the typical V11R low of just a glow on the LED. Wondering if anyone would be interested in that one or if I should return it. (Thanks Todd)

I grabbed a couple of these as well and have the same issue. One is fine and the other has a “low” that is way brighter. Not a huge deal, just a data point.

Strange. I am using a couple older Efest V2 (red) 700mAh button-top and they fit perfectly. Just measured them @ 34mm x 16.75mm.

My AA spacer is due for delivery by the end of the week. Hopefully it’s the same for everyone else.

Been busy and missed that my pair had been shipped out . After looking again I realized they had been shipped to the wrong address. Maybe that’s why looking in the mailbox was futile . Bought from the later cheaper vendor :( He actually sent them ... just not to me .

Was it from a vendor selling at $16.88 each? Mine was, except he never sent as promised. After I got a refund through PayPal, I get a “shipped” message through Ebay with tracking for that refunded order…Strange…. Showed that my shipment originated in California and was delivered in California. I say SCAM ! Anyways, hope you get yours soon.

Boaz · 2018-11-19T21:54:53.000Z

I was being patient and busy so I waited .. they ended up shipping to somewhere in texas . I doubt it’s a scam since fed ex tracked it . Someone in alvaraz texas got 2 free lights .. I wrote the bendor saying I really wanted the lights and he explained the wait from china would be VERY long time. OR I could have it fixed locally ... wth ?? Wait they never showed up??? Fix what??

Instead I opted for the full refund

Streamer · 2018-11-19T21:59:03.000Z

I still say scam. He did to you what he did to me. Mine was delivered in California. I say BS. Seller can send you others tracking info to cover his ass. SCAMMMER

Boaz · 2018-11-19T22:10:33.000Z

Yeah that could be ... he was selling other junk.. seems like a lot of trouble just to get someone $ for a few weeks . Sad thing was to get refunded I think it implied it was a buyers mistake so you couldn’t leave him bad feedback .. like he was doing u a favor . Either shady or really dumb

SHADY INDEED

BlancoFire · 2018-11-19T22:22:04.000Z

I bought 3 for $18.99, along with 2 AA Extenders for $9.98, everything fine and dandy here.

Boaz · 2018-11-19T22:39:06.000Z

This was a later guy who had them for 16.99$??

i don’t think anyone here got lights from him .

I got two also from the original source at 18.99 but the lows weren’t sub lumen low like they were supposed to be ... and thought maybe a few more lights might not be a bad idea . Clearly it was

toddcshoe · 2018-11-19T23:02:19.000Z

All the ones I got were from the $18.99 guy. They all had sub lumen lows but they were all slightly different in brightness. Nothing too bright that would warrant me returning them or asking for a refund. I almost bit on the $16.99 guy but I had already ordered enough and didn’t really need them. Didn’t want to get too greedy. I did get one from hiuintahs here on BLF, he told me the low wasn’t sub lumen so it was expected. It’s in the wifes purse and she didn’t need a super low anyway so it worked out great. I gave most of mine away as gifts but kept 2 for myself. I do check and see if anyone is selling any at those good prices once in a while and haven’t seen any as low as they were but, it did seem to get a few of the sellers of them to get the prices down to a more reasonable level. I am sure a few folks even got them and reposted them for higher prices once they got them. Fair enough I reckon. I am just happy I got a light I had been wanting for a while but thought were too expensive. Now if I could find the same deal on a few Jetbeam RRT01’s I would be a happy camper. Have the feeling I’m not going to get that lucky though.

Boaz · 2018-11-19T23:19:44.000Z

They need emitters swapped out anyway so I’ll get the lowdown.. dirty low down.

Boaz · 2018-11-19T23:32:02.000Z

low low down
