My first Ganzo came in, pretty good quality for the price. It doesn’t have an automatic blade or assisted opening. 440c steel allegedly. with points applied it was around 6.75 $US.
It is not razor sharp (doesn’t cut paper or arm hair) but I will sharpen it soon.
I received my 75mm UniqueFire 1508 host ordered via n10sivern’s group buy a couple of weeks ago:
Host is very clean, a couple of minor dings on the anodizing, but looks good otherwise. Nice feature is that the light has NO BRANDING or marking of any sort! No “High Temp” warnings, no “2000x” zoom print.
The lens itself is 75 mm OD, with the head of the light being 78mm at the widest point. The lens is very clean, and has good clarity, as compared to my DX budget lenses I’ve ordered before.
First complaint; the pills are threaded for a driver retaining ring, but a ring is not included. I have a spare ring from an S2 type host in my kit; I’ll have to see if it will fit.
Second complaint; the battery tube has a grip ring at the base. Unfortunately, it is a part of the main battery tube, and can’t be moved to the end of the light for use with the extension tube. If using this light with two cells, the grip ring will be located in the center of the tube.
Unfortunately, due to my unexpected need to move to a new home, all of my parts and tools have been packed up, and I’m spending all of my available time packing to move. It may be two or more months before I’ll be able to actually build this light up and test it.
Sorry, no pics of mine at the moment, but you can read about it on luminarium iaculator’s thread here:
he VG10 I bought from BLFer X3 just arrived.
Wauw
Very high quality
Nice modes
Spare orings, lens, tail switch and rubber cover for switch
A very good lanyard
A nice holster
Very very complete package.
Lockout possible on both tail and head half unscrew, very nice
Already one of the favorites and the following days it will be in my pocket
Oh nice, I had a couple of zalman heatsinks and my wife and I had an ongoing battle.
I put them on the mantle (just the copper, all plastic and fans removed) since I really like them
She put them at the back of a shelf of a bookcase, she did not like them as much
Got 1 on a desk now, to put mail and notes in, works nice

Got a couple of those little knifes, size credit card for wallet, the metal blade folds out and the plastic parts hold it nicely, nice for paper and board
Foldable leds, size creditcard, white with a little plastic shape of a lightbulb that folds out over a little led, for wallet

And my second order of this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cheapest-2-IN-1-6-LED-Q5-LED-Mini-Headlamp-Headlight-Head-Light-Torch-Flashlight-AAA/32257101836.html
Had a gold one, it hangs on the fridge by the magnet.
Today the red one came and it is nicely placed next to its sister.
Yes I know the leds are no cree and the beams are not the most beautifull or strongest.
But the placement of the leds make this such a usefull light, I hang it on my sidepoket with the sideleds on and can do things in de dark with both hands and without one of those anoying headbands (they came wth a headband, I do not like headbands)
So I use it very often and tey look very nice, the finish looks really good.
(with the two, 1 for lighting the area in front of me and the second to light other directions if needed. Very nice when splitting some wood after dark when the heater is about to go out.
Looks nice! (I’d order the blue one though 8) ) How about a teardown review with pics of the internals? I’d be interested in any upgrade possibilities (heat path, etc). I really like lights with pocket clips…
