Which of these budget ebay 2x18650 lights should I get

So I’m after a cheap 2x18650 light and these I think are the cheapest for what they are but what do you think?

light no.1 an ultrafire x8 clone for £13 ($20)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121021214397

or

light no.2 a 4000 magic Chinese lumen 3 xm-l t6 led for £18.50 ($28)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370729110282

or

no.3 a different one of these 4000lm’ers for £20 ($30)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281055278370

so which would you get from that lot? or do you have any other suggestions for £20/$30 or less

I would go for the 3T6 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281055278370) since it is well known that it has good heatsinking and is fairly well made.

Yes, Sir, 3T6s are a good light, not a bad throw and does spread well. Go with scaru’s advice.

the 2nd one and the 3rd one are generic 3xT6 don’t you guys think so?

Ok, this is the* 3 cell version*, true Trustfire from Fasttech, who we all recommend:

Hey fury, I’ve got the no.1 on your list, it was my first decent thrower, nice, well made light!!, but 1800 lumens it aint, lol

lipo99 · January 26, 2013, 8:04am

XML2 has 1000+ lumen at 3A, how can it has 1800 lumen?

This TR 3T6, can work with 1x and/or 2x and/or 3x18650?

Is it the same light as in DinoDirect? With some coupons it could be even cheaper than FastTech

Thanks in advance
