Should show in my avatar/profile pic. Disassembled it and put in the oven at it’s highest temp and kept an eye on it - took somewhere around 45 min it I remember correctly. There are some threads on baking lights…
EDIT: Here is a thread on baking: What's for dinner? Baked UltraFire!!

Ultrafire SK68 clone in cargo pants
AA and 14500 - one in the light and one in pocket.
Small, cheap, tailstands, strong clip, zoomie is versatile, single mode with variable light by switching cells.
Carrying it over a year.
Used 1-2 times a day - lend it out occasionally.
Been working great.
Anodizing is worn on a few places - I baked it for an orange finish.
No - cell phone is backup light. When home, carry P60 or C8 in jacket pocket in the evenings.

I was carrying a P60 light for awhile, but found it was a bit too big, and having to explain modes when lending out was a bit of a pain. LOL No one else I work with carries a light, so it get’s a bit of use. Mostly indoor stuff. Most are surprised it only cost $3… Nice flood for close up and it throws surprisingly well when zoomed on a 14500.
Works for me!

I carry a Sipik SK68 as well in my EDC sling bag along with a Maglite XL50. I agree that for the price it’s an awesome light. Hard to believe the price you can buy them at. Just ordered 10 of them off Amazon for $3.33.

You mentioned you baked the light to get an orange finish, how did you do that? And do you have any pics?
