TrustFire TR-801 Cree Q5-WC 230-Lumen LED Flashlight (1*18650)

Pros: Very bright considering it runs off a single 18650 battery. Awesome light for close to mid range; large bright hot spot with C2 like spill really lights things nearby up. Finish seemed harder than other lights I've gotten, and will scratch but not easily. Reverse clicky seems perfectly set as it does not protrude, yet doesn't kink my thumb to activate. Chrome or nickel plated steel pill, first one I've seen is very beefy (18gms!) gives this light an overall hefty feel I like; seems to sink well as this light gets quite warm but never seems to reach hot. Good, as it's apparent this critter is driven quite hard.

Cons: Early flickering seems to have gone away with use; I blame over-anodizing on the cap threads as it must be screwed down tight or the light will not fire up. No front O-ring, and the clicky seems a little cheaply made. Reminds me of the newer C2 switches which are fragile.

Other: It was a great deal before the price drop; now it's a steal. Buy one or more and enjoy! This form function has been a long time coming and I look forward to an R2 version (in stainless please!).

Pros: Bright flashlight with no unnecessary annoying modes
No problem so far with batteries jamming (used TrustFire 2400mAh sku 5776)
O-rings at all important joins (lens/reflector to lamp, lamp to body, body to tail/switch) and all the threads are well cut. Haven't tested if it's actually waterproof yet.
Glow in the dark switch

Cons: Almost perfectly round, it will not stay put on sloped surfaces.
Started flickering after a couple of weeks, I took some sandpaper to the positive contact and it hasn't done it since.
Switch is only momentary off, this doesn't make a lot of sense. Doesn't affect using the light much though.
Not a flashlight for modders. everything is soldered, glued, or otherwise stuck in permanently (or permanently enough that I'd worry about breaking things getting them out).

Other: It's not perfect, but the price is right and the construction is solid.

Pros: I have other one 18650 battery flashlights and this one seems to have one of the best and power beam light.
Design, color and finishing are very nice and attractive.

Cons: Mine came with very little construction defects in the body (like small holes or bubbles in the aluminium)
It doesn't come with holster.

Other: you will not be disappointed with this close to mid range power flashlight.

Pros: Five stars all round! I really love this flashlight. On a freshly charged battery it's very bright and lights up anything within 10 meters very nicely, but it's not what I'd call a thrower. That's one of it's best features in my opinion - the beam is nice and wide with plenty of spill which makes it much more useful for around the home and a great bike light. Build quality of mine is very good. Looks great. Nice finish. Switch has a good positive feel.

Cons: Getting such a bright light for this price I guess you can't expect everything - I would love to have a low or medium mode. That's my only complaint.

Other: This would have to be one of the best value lights on DX!

Pros: Nice single 18650 cell light. Good fit and finish, looks great, fairly bright but not 230lm I would say.

Cons: Not 230lm, the coating/finish was a bit over enhusiastic and coated the threads so the torch didn't actually work to start with due to lack of electrical conduction. Had to sand the finish on the threads back to show the metal then all was good.

Other: Definitely get one and see what you think. I'm glad I did.

Pros: A lanterna é muito boa, tem um ótimo foco de luz, mesmo sem fazer uma recarga previa das baterias (TrustFire 2500 mA). Muito legal estas lanternas de LED.

Cons: Fora o fato de ela aquecer um pouco (isto é normal neste tipo de lanternas), só ficou faltando dois modos ( luz alta e luz baixa).
Seria interessante um manual, que não tem.

Other: Sem mais comentários.

Pros: -The flashlight is very bright to start out with (only arrived an hour ago).
-Uses only ONE 18650, which is a huge advantage for me (less money spent on batteries)
-Small size
-Uses 14-16mm round LED board (not stars)
-Modable (only LED's are, as far as I know)
-Head of flashlight works excellent for getting hard to reach itchy areas (lol)
-Glow-in-the-dark tailswitch for finding in the dark
-FIRM clicky
-When flashlight is on, you can lightly push the tailswitch, and it will momentarily shut off (great for sneaking around the house at night if you don't want to be heard/seen)

Cons: All problems on one of the 2 flashlights:
-Shattered lens
-Battery cover doesn't screw on fully (about 1-2mm gap)
-LED is dimmer
-LED flickers
-Doesn't fit star boards
-Doesn't tailstand
-GITD tailswitch doesn't glow for long
-Flashlight head makes it uncomfortable to have in the front pocket

Other: If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a flashlight, this is the one to buy.

Pros: Bright light ... really nice workmanship. Looking this light over, it would not surprise me it was made by Romisen. The fit 'n finish are THAT good. I love the stainless steel band and the front threads, they are a nice touch.
Very compact for a light taking a 18650 cell. Can't imagine lights more compact than this with the same power source.

Cons: One REALLY big con, here: The light would not fire reliably when I got it. I tried all kinds of things: wiping the silicone lube off the threads, overtightening the light and even removing some of the anodizing from the threads. Eventually I got it to work ... but what a hassle! It's a shame, too, because this is a very attractive design with excellent fit n' finish.

Other: Buy it ... but only if you are prepared to really work it over to get it to function. Once I did so, I was able to get it to produce a nice, bright beam (like a slightly over-clocked P4) without flicker.

Pros: It is a small, bright, and solidly built light. I use it at work a lot and the battery life is great for that. It fits nicely in my pocket and I find the lanyard makes it easy to retrieve. 18650 protected (sku 05790) fits like a glove.

Cons: The light won't come on unless the tailcap is screwed 100% of the way down. No play at all is allowed. Not much of a problem though.

Other: This was my first flashlight I purchased here. It won't be the last, but as a first light, I am amazed.

Pros: I like the type of light it gives out. I have these torches strapped to my mountain bike helmet nowadays. I previously used Romisen RC-K4 (sku.5379), and found the spot too intense. The RC-K4's would reflect light off the dust, creating a fog effect that I could not see past. I have since switched to these. Whilst their spot is not as intense as the Romisen RC-K4, the amount of light these things put out lights up more of the night time trail, without the spot that reflects off the dust. They are also a very compact torch - which means they are smaller and less likely to get caught on branches.

Cons: The switch. Tail cap has to be screwed in all the way, and the switch may sometimes not activate on 1st press.

Other: Compact and bright. The brightness of a Q5 is definately worth the extra power consumption!
