hi guys! after a long time lurking in this site, i finaly
decided to register since i think it would be fun talking
to you guys. I am proud to say that led lenser made me
fall in love with flashlights…

a few chapters later . . .

by the way, what can you say about this flashlight?

www.qinhuadq.com.cn/offer/35994273080.html

xpe with 3800 mah battery (800 mah actually)
and charger.

cost about 3.5$ when you buy it online. costs about
4$ when i directly buy it here in our place.

do you think it is a good deal? could there be cheaper options?
thank you

Not much, under the forum rules such language would get me banned.

Are you the seller spamming this #@X&* merchandise?

Hmmm? do i really look like a spammer?

I just thought one of the purpose of this site is to
get the best bang for the buck flashlight?

so people here are just as rude as cpf guys(not all)

I guess I will just go back to lurking then.pfft

As rude as CPF?! No way! You asked a question and Gj gave you a very straight and to the point answer that that’s a POS light, there are much better ways to spend $4, and any battery that comes with any $4 light should by thrown away instantly…

If you want to double your budget, to $8-10 we can get you an actually pretty nice light.

Welcome to BLF, stay a while and learn, this place is SO MUCH better that CPF.

I'm not saying it's a good light, but $4 is an okay deal. I'd rather get a SK68. I'm not familiar with that many lights around that price. The cheapest lights I buy are the F13 and Small Sun ZY-T11.

I have family from Cebu.

Unfortunately you followed the pattern of spammers. New account, and then quickly posted a link to a site that none of us have probably heard of before. It's not surprising that someone thought you were a spammer too. Even if that is your business, you would be welcome here, but you have to be clear about your affiliation with the business and post in the commercial sellers sub forum.

hmph! you say this is POS but some of you are even drooling
on that 3$ ebay xml wanabee xpe ftt light.

I am in no way selling these lights to you. I
just want to add some stuff in the book of
flashlights here. I know this brand is never heard
of but for the benefit of the doubt, will do a
review the moment i get this light.

sk68 is a great light but can only be only be
bought online ( online shopping here is a bit shady)

retail stores sell them as high as 30$ here for
a plain 3$ sk68, talking about overprice in a whole new level

about the battery, based on hkj’s teardown on these,
they are brand new but lower capacity.

so lower energy means lower chances of
becoming a pipebomb?

thanks for the welcome guys, I think
i am gonna enjoy it here.

Just see to it that you shop from reputable online stores. :wink:

Thirty-four of my fifty-six flashlights were all bought online and I did not encounter any problem on purchasing them except for the personalized BTU Shocker wherein customs charged me P2,205 or roughly $47.42. I was only charged P50 or $1.07 for all the other packages. The same is true with the seventy-eight lithium ions (26650s, 18650s, 16340s, 14500s & 10440s) I currently have and the twenty-eight lithium ions in transit - all bought online.

Therefore if you wish to buy an SK68 online, you’ll only pay extra $1.07 when your parcel arrives instead of buying it from Ayala Maze in Cebu where you’ll have to pay P1,500 or $32.26.

By the way I’m from Ormoc, Leyte and welcome to BLF. :slight_smile:

Seriously, that’s a piece of crap flashlight. I’d rather give my money to the poor than spend it on that because at least the poor know how to get the best bang for your buck.

go back to the other forum, you’re drunk

Says the guy who is asking if a $4 flashlight is any good.

says the guy who is in “budget” light forum.

bring your gold plated flashlight somewhere
else

come at my review and hate it too. thank you!

You’re absolutely right, this is a budget forum. Having this light is better than having no light. You win! I’ll stick with my expensive $20 Convoy lights.
