    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    This is an excellent product for its price. I dropped it into my UltraFire WF-501B torch and it worked fantastically. It gives off more light than the 12-led flashlight, and this fits to all wf-501 series lights. Good build quality, heavy enough to help wi...
    Cons:
    I can not think of anything that is negative to this article.

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    This is a good choice if you need to make lighting for nightvision cameras at long distances. Wide input voltage range allows to use a popular power adapters.
    Cons:
    The real power is approximately 2 W or a little less (8.4V, 0.24A; 6.5V, 0.3A; 5V, 0.37A). In continuous operation requires add...

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    This is an excellent product for its price. I dropped it into my WF-502B torch and it worked fantastically. Coupled with my Sony Camcorder I can now see in the dark!!! 'It does what it says on the tin'!! Obviously it is not as bright as an infrared illumina...
    Cons:
    none that I can see.

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Easy drop-in for any P60 body, my UltraFire L2 didnt require the outer spring to be removed. Very high output, worked well with low end webcam's and some mobile phones. Comes with a smooth relector
    Cons:
    Not the greatest build quality, after a couple uses, one of the three emitters fail to light up. Also this emitter runs quite h...

    Good and sheap

    posted by kallesballe on 08/18/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    I put this bulb in my surefire G2 to use my infrared rifle scope. It works very well and gives a much wider beam pattern than my old lamp which is on the rifle scope. I ordered earlier, a similar lamp from Sweden, which cost about four times as much. I have...

    Decent enough

    posted by avester on 04/12/2009 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    It gives off more light than the 12-led flashlight, and this fits to all wf-501 series lights. Voltage range allows me to use this in the WF-501D light with 2x 18650, giving me a nice amount of runtime.
    Cons:
    Some smudges and a tiny scratch at the reflector, but nothing that bad.

    Pros:
    Works well in intended areas. Good for short to medium ranges, in fact it may be too bright in short ranges!
    Cons:
    Runs HOT ! Mine stopped working after 3 x 5 minute uses which was disappointing

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Good build quality, heavy enough to help with the heat management. Nice mirror finish on the reflector, fits well into suitable flashlights. Does not emit much of visible light. Works with 6volts too.
    Cons:
    Current consumption is lower than reported. Could be brighter, not very bright on 6 volts, must test with higher voltages. Quit...
