TANK007 TK-360 Cree Q2-WC 3-Mode 150-Lumen LED Flashlight (1*CR123A)

Pros: TANK007 seems making the products better than acceptable so far according to the flashlights I order from DX. The quality of this TK-360 Cree Q2-WC really surprises me. The one I got has 5 modes instead of 3 modes. Hopefully I don’t need to use SOS mode. I like the bottom’s design. It’s easy to press the switch button and very steady for candle mode.

Cons: None so far.

Other: It’s worth to keep one at least for fun especially the price on this product. Hopefully, Fenix won’t buy TANK007 out like Microsoft doing the business.

Pros: This is one of the better built small LED Cree lights. The barrel is a little beefier & the fit & finish seems better than most Cree LED lights that use one CR123A batteries that DX sells. Partial collar around the rear push button switch to prevent accidental switching on is a nice touch. I prefer the smooth reflector that this one has.

Cons: Can't really think of any

Other: Good light that's well made. Has a good light output. Not the brightest but a good physical size with maximum light for the LED type & battery.

Pros: This is a great light. The build quality is exceptional at this price point, it is solid in the hand and the anodising seems pretty tough. The novel semi-recessed clicky means it will tailstand and it has useful hi/medium/low modes. The lanyard is a good size and I leave it on.

Cons: * There was a little grittiness in the threads. I assume this is left over from the lathing and I plan to clean and re-lube them and see if that fixes it.
* I can sort of see the point of the strobe mode, but does anyone really have a use for the SOS?

Other: If you are looking for a low-cost CR123A light for EDC this is the one.

Pros: Extremely bright. Very nearly the equal of my Surefire E1B. Good build quality. Nice clicky switch with a half-moon ring around it that will allow it to stand on it's tail; this is a great feature for camping and power outages.

Cons: All the material here says it's a 3 mode light, but it's not- it's a five mode light. And honestly that's 3 or 4 modes too many. A high and a low are both useful but the strobe, SOS, etc is just a waste of clicks.
It's also biased towards the blue more than I prefer. But at the price who cares.

Other: Bottom line is simple: This is a killer deal. Close to the power of the $140 Surefire E1B although not as white, and the spot isn't quite as clean. But is the SF 10x better? Probably not.
I really wish this really was a 3-mode as advertised. That's the main drawback. But unless this light craps out on me unexpectedly I have to say it's an insane, off-the-charts value for the money.
