    Great drop-in

    posted by gasbag11 on 05/31/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    Very bright. Probably close to 600 lm. but I have no way to measure it. It's brighter than a UF 502b rated 900 lm. Very nicely made and the emitter is well centered. It has memory too. Fit perfectly in a Ultrafire C8. Even the reflector fit perfectly after...
    Cons:
    No cons.

    It's a banana/flashlight. What more can I say?

    posted by gasbag11 on 05/26/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    They're cute and really do look like tiny bananas. The color is pretty realistic. Both work perfectly and the sliding switch will stay on if you want it to. Brighter than I thought. Maybe 8 ~ 10 lumens,which is enough to get around in the dark, or find som...
    Cons:
    They seem a little flimsy, but one has survived a few drops onto a cement floor. I don't know if the batteries are replaceable...

    For the military collector

    posted by gasbag11 on 05/25/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    Very solid feeling. Fairly well detailed but probably not an exact replica. It's the right shade of green for an army tank. The barrel swivels about 15 degrees in either direction, but returns to center when you let go. Just pull the little tab out of t...
    Cons:
    No real cons. It's hard to tell how well the turret is attached, and that might be it's weakest spot.

    It's really cute

    posted by gasbag11 on 05/25/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    It seems pretty well made. Made of soft plastic. It even has a foam pad on the back side, so it should be comfortable to wear. The band is much nicer than expected, and should last a long time. The color is nice, and done well. No sloppy edges.
    Cons:
    The battery cover looks a little flimsy, so care is needed when opening/closing. It's not 37 lumens. Probably about 8 ~ 10. ...

    Ultrafire C-8

    posted by gasbag11 on 04/25/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    Very nice looking. Good build quality. Two O-rings on head and one on tailcap. Glass lens. Fit and finish are very good. No blemishes anywhere. 5 modes. Reverse clicky. It's an excellent "thrower," and should be good for long distance. It still...
    Cons:
    It has "next mode memory." Whichever mode you shut it off in, when you turn it back on, it goes to the next mode. Als...

    Cutest little light

    posted by gasbag11 on 03/11/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    If you want a cute, little, light,this is it. And it's actually useful as a flashlight. Maybe about 10 lumens which is plenty for finding a keyhole in the dark, or something dropped under a car seat. It looks reasonably sturdy and the finish is nice. It's ...
    Cons:
    Both buttons are right next to each other on the left side, and it's a little hard to press just one at a time. I don't really ...

    Good light for the price

    posted by gasbag11 on 03/07/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    Build quality is good like all my Small Sun lights. O-rings on the tailcap and lens. The lens is glass. The fit and finish are good. It has a reverse clicky which feels good. Not too easy to switch on accidently. Has a deep reflector so it "throws"...
    Cons:
    The only con is that it's not 180lm. Probably closer to 40, but not bad for the price. Definitely brighter than most of my 1XAA...

    Nice !

    posted by gasbag11 on 03/07/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    Seems well made. O-rings front and rear, but none on the lens. Finish is very nice and the color looks much nicer than the picture. More like a titanium than gray. Small enough for a pocket. Reverse clicky feels good. Not cheap like a lot of lights. Also gi...
    Cons:
    Probably closer to 35 lumens than 70, but not really a con for it's price. No other cons that I could find.

    Amazing

    posted by gasbag11 on 02/19/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    The amount of light is amazing.Very good build quality. Fit and finish are very good. It's also a very good thrower. Much better than expected. Will throw some light about 250 meters, yet still has plenty of spill light for up close. It is definitely not j...
    Cons:
    The switch is a little too easy to press, so be careful it is not accidently turned on. You can unscrew the base about a half t...

    Nice Romisen

    posted by gasbag11 on 02/04/2013 Certified Owner

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

    Pros:
    Very well made. Very nice fit and finish. Typical 5 mode reverse clicky. No memory, and always starts on high mode. Really bright. Combination flooder/thrower. Should throw some light to 150 meters, more or less. Not too heavy, but nice and solid. Switch f...
    Cons:
    I can't find any cons. No scratches, or flaws.
