Banggood, Aliexpress, Gearbest etc etc. Websites previously deemed dodgy.

I guess they have now agreed to pay the click through fees to HUKD?

Just received mine - very solid am impressed.
Have just ordered another £1.31 (or £1.38 by the time Paypal adds its commission) for #2 & #5

I received my 3x a few days ago. Very quick delivery

Astounded how bright these wee flashlights are using the red and black Trustfire 14500 batteries

Very useful

I take it all back. One way or another, I'll definitely use Gearbest again

Great little torch very bright.

13 Nov 15 #70

After ordering the 3 flashlights I tried to put through another order for 14500 batteries

It adds on postage costs despite the batteries clearly stating "free delivery"

I also sent a ticket enquiry about it (2 days ago) but I've yet to receive a reply

With all this uncertainty, in future I'll take my business elsewhere

I ordered the 14500 batteries from Deal Extreme and a 14500/18650 charger from Ebay. Both cheaper than at GearBest. Plus free delivery

Just ordered two of these and have been charged $7.22 (£4.90) but still showing as £1.31 on their site yet I've paid £2.45 each. Rip off merchants!

So they make a brilliant tiny torch which takes standard AA batteries just that you would need a special 14500 AA battery to get the full performance?

Sounds Chinese

scrumpypaul

12 Nov 15 1 #63

By the way, these "dual-fuel" torches will only achieve maximum lumens if used with 14500 batteries, not AA. Whilst these look outwardly very similar to AA batteries they are a different beast altogether, need special care and a dedicated charger. If you mishandle them they can cause you problems. In extreme circumstances they can quickly overheat, catch fire or even explode.

So do your research carefully if you want to use high power cells. In a nutshell, if that's the way you want to go, don't skimp for the sake of a few pennies or pounds as you may regret it.

If you stick with AA batteries you'll not get as much brightness but AA are universally available and if you use rechargeables (such as the brilliant Eneloop - well worth it) you don't necessarily need an incredible charger to get the best out of them, though a "smart charger" would help you get the best results.

Well said, even though I use a 2300mah AA, it's still very bright and as the led isn't running at full capacity, it will have a longer lifespan

12 Nov 15 #57

Are these actually any good quality or just to you get what you pay for?

DarkReborn11 to scnickr

12 Nov 15 #60

Although I don't have the exact version as op they all seem to be similar build quality which are pretty decent. Mine isn't even a so called waterproof version but the screw cap had a rubber seal and put black tape over the front part of torch which pulls out for zoom in/out.

Use a 2300mah battery and its incredibly bright which is probably around 200lumens, use as a bike light for day/night and can't fault it. Has taken plenty of bumps being on a bike and dropped it once, 2months on and no issues. Makes a mockery over the expensive bike lights when 2 of these would do a stellar job, 1 AA is a bonus too rather than 3 AAA

These take 14500 or AA batteries

Not the 18650 batteries posted in that Amazon link. They ones are huge and for the bigger flashlights

Hugsby XP-1 are widely acknowledged to be much better than these (admittedly pretty good) SK68 clones for about £3 delivered.

Somebody mentioned best batteries? Go for latest generation Eneloop. Not cheap but superb.

2 of #4 came to £2.71 as GBP is converted at paypal checkout from USD ($1.99ea)
At least I have paypal security and not giving details to a random site.

All thats left now is to measure the width to see if they will fit a cheap bike mount http://www.amazon.co.uk/Holder-Bicycle-Flashlight-rotation-Cycling/dp/B00ADLUDSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447275407&sr=8-1&keywords=bike+mount+for+torch
