When I lit a piece of paper with it, the paper literally glared me. On bicycle, I was able to see everything even in the darkest forest. One of the O rings went apart when I screwed together the parts. The body looks like a little bit weak: the extender is already dented. Unfortunately, the lower power modes are solved with PWM instead of steady current. The 3000lm is credible only with good quality, fresh batteries. After several minutes, it drops to around 2000lm judged from the measured power consumption, and the visible drop in brightness. However still should look into it even when the batteries are about to die! This is a very good light if you can accept the about 45minutes run time (18650 2000mA batteries), or the PWM lower, but still very light modes. Read more

It is pretty configurable: one can use either two or three batteries, and two different kinds of batteries are supported. It doesn't get too hot when operating. The build is generally very solid, the case seems well insulated - though I didn't try to use it in heavy rain conditions. It is heavy. Not a kind of torch you want to carry with all the other stuff on a long journey - though it does feature a handy belt pouch. Excellent thing to have in the car. Comparing it with my old UltraFire C8-T6 Cree XM-L T6 800LM torch - that one seems better value. Its life time is long enough, it is bright enough for virtually any application and it is muuuch easier to carry around. This one is bright and "cool" but not terribly useful. Read more

Great Falshlight. Nice heft. Extremely bright, though NOT 8000 Lumens as printed on the head. Nice touch with extra O-rings and adapter tubes for use with 18650 batteries. Mediocre nylon pouch; uses expensive 26650 batteries, which you must buy for greater amperage. Could be less expensive. Great... Great Falshlight. Nice heft. Extremely bright, though NOT 8000 Lumens as printed on the head. Nice touch with extra O-rings and adapter tubes for use with 18650 batteries. Mediocre nylon pouch; uses expensive 26650 batteries, which you must buy for greater amperage. Could be less expensive. Great addition to my collection of flashlights; this is the brightest one in the group, though it still falls short of the 8000 Lumens printed on the head. A must have, if you're like me. Read more

I got my Trustfire TR-J18 flashlight 13 days after placing the order, the flashlight delivers an intensely bright light that is great for any employment, it has a good solid construction and I would truly recommend this product. The flashlight did not come with any instructions, but that is not a big problem as I think that most people can work out how to use a Flashlight. The cardboard box that it came in could have been stronger as I found the box had been dented in transit. Anyone looking for a great flashlight at a great price, you should get this one from Dealextreme. Read more

You can see the beam on the ground in direct full sunlight Price and build quality. Heat sinking seems to do well. It will get really hot after 10 min Heat None yet With two 26650 batteries it will draw 7 amps from the tail cap .And go down to 2.4. 7 amps WOW! great light at a bargain price. i took a square of toilet paper and magic marked a 1/2 inch spot. I then put the square on top of the lens and stood the light on its tail cap as i turned it on. @ seconds later smoke. This to me is a very powerful light.and with a run time with 3 26650 batteries it'll last you for a real emergency. Read more

Looks great, nicely weighted. Brighter than most car headlights.

Memory function works great - remembers what mode it was in last Supplied belt holster works well Has an over optimistic rating - 8000lumens is proudly listed on the device. Its probably closer to 6000 lumens, which is what DX lists it as. Haven't had a chance to test it out with 3 x 18650 batteries. Theoretically, it should be brighter - you get 7.4 volts with two batteries and 11.1 with three (the batteries are in series). Using them with 18660 red-black protected Trustfire. Brightest handheld flashlight I have ever owned. Sure, it is more expensive than other units with the same Cree XML T6 emitters, but its still great value overall. Read more

really bright flash light up close my ultrafire 1200 looks a bit brighter bcz its more focused on 1 spot but outside when you have a bit of distance you can tell is mutch brighter not sure that its really 6000 lumen it even said on the side of the lens that its 8000 lumen compared it to a 4300 of... really bright flash light up close my ultrafire 1200 looks a bit brighter bcz its more focused on 1 spot but outside when you have a bit of distance you can tell is mutch brighter not sure that its really 6000 lumen it even said on the side of the lens that its 8000 lumen compared it to a 4300 lumen flash light of a friend and its just a little bit brighter whit the 26650 li-ion battery fits good if you use the 26650 li-ion bit rately whit the 18650 and the battery tube looks like a good quality flash light not to expensive for what you get and build quality look fine but have to see how it holds up on the long run great light for the price Read more

Maybe the brightest light you can get for the price. Comes with a belt holder, and you can use 2 or 3 18650s (I didn't notice a difference in brightness, both were blinding).

Comes with a belt holder, and you can use 2 or 3 18650s (I didn't notice a difference in brightness, both were blinding). It comes with plastic sleeves so the 18650s do not rattle around, and extra O-rings. Quite a wide flood angle (probably around 30 degrees). Well manufactured (no burrs on the threads, good tight fit for the components). None yet, but just don't point it at anyone that is near you. I bought this light as a replacement for a trail tech 30W HID lamp that is on it's way out. Since the HID lamp is dying (cuts out during a ride after it heats up and draws too much current) and the replacement cost is $75 for a lamp, I thought this cheaper option was worth trying. The HID is 1800 lumens. This light claims to be 6000 lumens (the flashlight has 8000 lumens printed on it), and I believe it delivers 6000 lumens. I compared it side by side with my trail tech light, and it blew it away. It was so much brighter, that I won't need to go higher than the "low" mode on a ride. With 3 18650s this light is almost 12 inches long, 2 18650s drops that to about 9.5 inches. I plan to experiment so that I can hook it up to an external LiPo pack. If you want a lot of light at a cheap price, this will give you it. Too bright for a "around the house" light, but if you camp, or enjoy night hiking or riding, this will give you plenty of light.

Price. Very white light with a even spread. Threaded body parts fit loosely causing cross threading. Has a plastic reducer for the batteries that is to short and slides back and forth when in motion. Switch is on the tailpiece causing you to use two hands to turn it on and off. I own other TrustFire flashlights and this is not their best build. It does however put out some seriously bright white light. It is a medium flood pattern that is very evenly disbursed and can light up half of a school field. I have a 4000lm Fandyfire using 5 of the same LED elements and this light outperforms it. For me it is a keeper. I will take it to a machinist and have a custom body made for the lamp assembly and add it to my collection. If your looking for something perfect, or a spotlight, this is not it, but if you want a really bright flood light for the best price, you found the right one. Read more
