FandyFire UV-S5 CREE XM-L T6 3-Mode 3000LM 3-LED White Flashlight w/ Strap - Yellow (4 x 18650)

Pros: Not meausured A output yet, but:
200% brighter than any C8 light
Brighter than 3x UF-2100 with 2.8A (yes, three in one hand :))) ).
50% brighter than Trustfire TR-3T6
The build qulity is outstanding! Never seen this before from chinalights. Electronic switch!!!
Comparing to Trustfire TR-3T6 it is much more compact.

Cons: - Gets pretty hot :)
- Using not flat top 18650 can scratch the driver. I ma using 18650 Panasonic 3100Mah from xtar - they scratch the surface.
-nothing to add more.

Other: P.S. The same as Sky Ray King.

Pros: Insanely bright: This thing is even brighter than the Trustfire XML-3T6. Both utilise 3 x XM-L LEDs but this one easily outshines the other torch.
Comfortable: This torch fits nicely in the hand, has a nice weight to it without feeling overly heavy, and nicely balanced.
Compact: This thing is about the same length as a WF-502b though much thicker carries 4 x 18650s in parallel
The MODES!!!: Using an electronic switch on the side (which is very easy to use) you have 2 modes immediately available to you - High, and Low. There is a strobe mode too but you have to hold the button down for approx. 2 seconds to activate it. Pressing the button again will return you to High mode.

Cons: No lube on the threads and o-rings
Only an o-ring included as spare. No glass lens or lube included
Could be a little fat for some people
Lanyard could be awkward to attach, if you decide to use it
You may not like the colour?

Other: This is definitely a good buy, if not for your everyday use then buy it for the bragging rights. You won't regret it.

Pros: Amazingliy bright sturdy design Fits in hand well great for showing off

Cons: Gets very warm/hot after about 5 minutes on high won't fit in your pocket (although I never expected this to be a daily use light)

Other: Great light for the money. Buy this and you'll definitely have "bragging rights". Just don't leave it on high unattended.

Pros: *Extremely bright: almost use max potential of each xm-l t6 led *Small compared to a long 2x or 3x 18650 flashlight *Awesome quality build *I estimate 1800-2500 lumen output *look cool

Cons: *Become hot after 1-2 min but doesn't go higher than 50C after 5 min *If battery doesn't have flat top, it will scratch driver. Inverting an unprotected battery could be extremely dangerous *No lube on the threads *Hard to disassembly

Other: You want a powerful flashlight? Definitely, buy this one. I tried many, but this one is teh best. It burns skin! Maybe I could bake an egg with it? Ill try!!

Pros: WHAT a nasty (even mean) short flashlight, an AMAZING fotoncannon, at short distance almost as dangerous as a laser. Throw is (untill now) unbeatable High quality housing. It is an odd experience when you see this work.

Cons: Becomes hot, the 3X t6 are pulled to the limit, what can shorten the lifetime of the leds. Dangerous when changing batteries, because these are in parallel, only one cell in opposite direction gives you the firework you dont like.

Other: Nice flashlight , top of the bill with an unusual form wich gives more light than a headlight from a car even equipped with HID

Pros: -The machining and finish on this is almost perfect -Nicely balanced -O-ring and simple cord lanyard included -Hard anodized finish

Cons: -The threads holding the two halves of the flashlight together are not lubed, so a thin coating of silicone grease should be applied to help prevent galling. - As the top is screwed down, the flat part rubs against the battery terminals and the plate gets scratched very quickly. - after about 5 minutes of us it can get up to 40 C (100 degrees F) or so. - presentation box inadequately protects the flashlight

Other: During the daylight inside the house, the FandyFire UV-S5 seems powerful when it's turned on, but it's not really super impressive until you fire it up at night. Go outside and turn it on and it's absolutely mind-blowingly amazing -- by far the most powerful flashlight I have ever seen. It almost feels like the thing kicks back in your hand when you press the button!

Other: Great light for the money. Buy this and you'll definitely have "bragging rights". Just don't leave it on high unattended.

Pros: Really really REALLY powerful. And good quality aswell. Seems to be good quality and my batteries (trustfire flames protected 2400mah) fits perfect.

Cons: Price could be lower as always :) .. but its not really a cons.. its well worth the money.

Other: None really.

Pros: Extremely well designed. The four 18650 cells operate in parallel, so there can be no dangerous reverse charging of the cells and also no flickering of the light if the unit gets bumped. The finish appears to be gold-tone anodized aluminum, with a nice bead-blasted texture to the flashlight body. The protective lens appears to be glass. This light is MUCH BRIGHTER than my 1400 lumen 24 watt HID light. I truly believe this could be around 3000 lumens. It's absolutely astonishing how much light comes out of this little package, and also how long the batteries last. It's mind blowing. Press the button once for bright mode, press it again for dim mode (maybe 10% of its full brightness via square wave) and again turns it off. Hold the button for a few seconds to get flashing mode. It comes in a nice box with a spare O-Ring and a high quality lanyard. After several minutes it warms a bit, but only moderately and the batteries themselves remain cool.

Cons: Not a "con" really, but the button is very easy to press and I'll need to get used to the prospect of unleashing so much power with such a light touch. Once, I accidentally turned on flash mode just by holding it wrong. (Yikes!) But that's not a defect, it's my own problem. I just need to get used to it.

Other: If you like powerful quality flashlights, you must get this light! Or if you can even occasionally use something that is lightweight yet shines brighter than a car's headlight, you must get this light!

Pros: what a powerful torch is brighter than my new $250 Nitecore TM11 that I just buy and return.

Cons: the relation cost-benefit and luminosity-battery duration, is better than other more expensive flashlights.

Other: I'am going to buy 6 more to take to vietnam for give when the price come down a liter bit. Very bright flashlight + well build, you should buy this one.
