*UPDATE 11/2* I recieved these on 10/29 but just got around to posting the arrival of my new torches. I bought three, they come assembled ready for CR123's with the body extension for 2-AA's. Glow In The dark clickie cap and then a Cree bezel shot. I was in a hurry so didn't get great pics of the knurling, whick is good for the money.

I really love these inexpensive, bright lights ..

I own 2 of these flashlights and I am stunned with the quality of build, brightness with just the right amount of spill.
I use the Sanyo Eneloops primarily in all my flashlights with great results.

I would do a review but I couldn't top the ones over at Candlepower forums by Ernsanada.


I just ordered another 3 for stocking stuffers !

not bad looking for $20. i need a good, quality flashlight and i was looking at surefires last night and some of them are up near $200.

did you get the AA or the 123 ones?

It's just over 17 bucks here with free shipping .


The light comes with two bodies, one for a single CR123 and a slightly longer one for two AA's. If you use quality rechargable batt's you cannot go wrong with this light.

I use one for my hunting flashlight. I have more expensive lights but usually grab the Romisen, if I drop it or lose it it won't hurt so bad .

Those are nice, I may have to order one or two up! Know what the tube dimensions are? Will it work with any weapon light mounts?? Be great to slap this on the AR!!

Dangit, I'm always up for another good, cheap flashlight. I thought my last find at Kmart was pretty good, an LED light that runs on 3-AAA's, with an 85 lumen output. 8-10 hours per set, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the CR123A's.

Thanks. I want a light for my BDAY to put bedside and another for my AR. I'll show my wife when she's in a good mood.

What is the bulkrate shipping they are talking about?

last time I ordered from dealExtreme it took about 4 weeks to get the order & I was wondering if bulkrate is faster?

That light seems interesting.

dude, you are totally whipped if you have to show her when she is in a good mood.

you need to walk in the bedroom and say "hey hun, i bought some flash lights, get over it".


<--- can you tell i'm not married?

You say, Hon, I bought some flashlights. Let' use one to look at the parkle in the new ring I bought you.

I just recieved the shipping confirmation from Dealextreme, the new torches should be here very soon ....


I truly love these lights for the moola, I'll post some pics (heck why not ) !

What did these run ya with shipping? I really need a light to carry with my CCW rig and don't want to overpay for a name brand light that my son may end up hiding.

It's just over 17 bucks here with free shipping .


I have Surefires, Fenix's, Pentagon's and they are all superb lights. But this light for 17 bux is an absolute must-have for an everyday light that won't break the bank. Buy three for 50 clams and there's one for each of you ..

I use the Sony Eneloop rechargable batts in all my torches. I was always hesitent using lights because of the cost of good batt's but after I took the rechargable plunge we all use them often.

Thanks

*Pics Added to original post*

What are Sony Eneloop rechargeable batts & where do ya get em???

Are these good lights for a teenage daughter to put in her purse & be banged/battered around & abused, or should I get a Sure Fire light for that?

The Sony Eneloops are the shiznit over at CPF. Thet's where I read about them, they are not as high a mAh as other batteries but hold their charge excellent. They are 2000mAh for the AA's. I buy the Costco bundle, it has 8-AA, 4AAA, C & D battery adapters that work with the AA's and a four place smart charger for around 28 clams.

I haven't really given one of the Romisen's a torture test but the kids run around with them all weekend when were at the cabin.. I think one would be great for a purse, and won't hurs so bad if it get's lost..

Shoot me your address brother, I'll send one to you to check out for a while . Just don't do any extrere torture tests on my torch .

Thanks, but I think I'll just order a couple as it's better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission

No costco round here, will see ifin I can find the Eneloops/charger on line someplace.

Finally got notice they shipped today (or so I really hope) & the e-mail says it takes 7-10 business days. Hopefully they will be here before Christmas
