I bought a Sipik SK68 from Manafont @ $10 after reading the big review thread.
Yesterday I won an Ebay auction and paid $6.50 for a spare. I have seen the light go for as low at $6.
Some Ebay dealers sell the light at under $8 on "Buy it Now", thus making the cutoff for this thread.
Search using the terms cree Q5 adjustable. Some dealers do not use sipik in the title but it is in the pics. Some lights are marked Sipik, some Cree, some with other labels or none at all. They all seem to be the same light.
I love the Sipik 68, it's well worth the money. Think the $2 MXDL light is lovely, but invest like 4 times more and the Sipik is the best light (for me at least) under $8 :-).
The Sipik zoomer? It has an OSRAM, pretty nice for the price. The Powerlight? It has a blob of glowing putty. Actually has a beautiful beam profile and warm tint, though.
The chinese emitter is a 100% hit or miss as far as tint goes ..i think there is someone lighting them all up and tossing 90% of them in the purple bin to sell them at cost plus a nickel on ebay .the two that match modded had nice tints and I wanted to scream NO !! you won the tint lottery and found the two buttery yellow tints out of 20,000 ..i'm sure he saved them and will sell them to me really cheap :P
