Has anyone summed up all the variations on #3? I know there are a lot of zoomies that look like that for sale now, and I recall one of them has a good solid pill — but I’m not sure which.
Of course maybe it’s the lottery thing, but I’m hoping. Someone above mentioned that same variation, some junk, some solid.
I realize I really like this thread’s approach — since there are so many clones/copies/lookalikes,
For the #3, I’ll hunt’em up and note them here.
PM me if you have a pointer to a thread where someone already did this, or recommends one.
I’ve come up with
3-mode Zoom AA/1450 EXPIRED ! "Black" $1.99 Max 3ea (Wallbuys and Ebay)
Slick looking 1-AA Q5 Zoom, price Drop, $4.24 from $5.99 shipped (Ebay)
What is This Torch ? (several sources)
Aha — this is the one I saw recommended (by Firelight2) as better quality:
Rustu XL-03 from one place at DX

Under $10, 1x AA/ AAA/ 10440/ 14500 flashlight reference is maybe same, maybe different, with several sources
