TrustFire TR-J18 7 x Cree XM-L T6 3000lm 5-Mode Memory White Flashlight - Black (2/3 x 18650/26650)

Pros: Bright as daylight. Well built reflector and head assembly. Price. Very white light with a even spread.

Cons: Threaded body parts fit loosely causing cross threading. Has a plastic reducer for the batteries that is to short and slides back and forth when in motion. Switch is on the tailpiece causing you to use two hands to turn it on and off.

Other: For me it is a keeper. I will take it to a machinist and have a custom body made for the lamp assembly and add it to my collection. If your looking for something perfect, or a spotlight, this is not it, but if you want a really bright flood light for the best price, you found the right one.

Pros: Maybe the brightest light you can get for the price. Comes with a belt holder, and you can use 2 or 3 18650s (I didn't notice a difference in brightness, both were blinding). It comes with plastic sleeves so the 18650s do not rattle around, and extra O-rings. Quite a wide flood angle (probably around 30 degrees). Well manufactured (no burrs on the threads, good tight fit for the components).

Cons: None yet, but just don't point it at anyone that is near you.

Other: If you want a lot of light at a cheap price, this will give you it. Too bright for a "around the house" light, but if you camp, or enjoy night hiking or riding, this will give you plenty of light.

Pros: really bright flash light up close my ultrafire 1200 looks a bit brighter bcz its more focused on 1 spot but outside when you have a bit of distance you can tell is mutch brighter

Cons: not sure that its really 6000 lumen it even said on the side of the lens that its 8000 lumen compared it to a 4300 lumen flash light of a friend and its just a little bit brighter whit the 26650 li-ion battery fits good if you use the 26650 li-ion bit rately whit the 18650 and the battery tube

Other: great light for the price

Pros: Looks great, nicely weighted. Brighter than most car headlights. Memory function works great - remembers what mode it was in last Supplied belt holster works well

Cons: Has an over optimistic rating - 8000lumens is proudly listed on the device. Its probably closer to 6000 lumens, which is what DX lists it as.

Other: Brightest handheld flashlight I have ever owned. Sure, it is more expensive than other units with the same Cree XML T6 emitters, but its still great value overall.

Pros: Excellent performance for a torch at this price level! Easy to operate, just a slight press on the button will shift light emission modes Sturdy design, smart housing extension for extra battery

Cons: none found.

Other: Great value for money, recommend this torch to anyone who needs a torch for profeesional purposes, not just for fun

Pros: Can use 18650 and 25560 batteries. Brighter then daylight. You can see the beam on the ground in direct full sunlight Price and build quality. Heat sinking seems to do well. It will get really hot after 10 min Heat

Cons: None yet

Other: great light at a bargain price. i took a square of toilet paper and magic marked a 1/2 inch spot. I then put the square on top of the lens and stood the light on its tail cap as i turned it on. @ seconds later smoke. This to me is a very powerful light.and with a run time with 3 26650 batteries it'll last you for a real emergency.

Pros: I got my Trustfire TR-J18 flashlight 13 days after placing the order, the flashlight delivers an intensely bright light that is great for any employment, it has a good solid construction and I would truly recommend this product.

Cons: The flashlight did not come with any instructions, but that is not a big problem as I think that most people can work out how to use a Flashlight.

Other: Anyone looking for a great flashlight at a great price, you should get this one from Dealextreme.

Pros: Great Falshlight. Nice heft. Extremely bright, though NOT 8000 Lumens as printed on the head. Nice touch with extra O-rings and adapter tubes for use with 18650 batteries.

Cons: Mediocre nylon pouch; uses expensive 26650 batteries, which you must buy for greater amperage. Could be less expensive.

Other: A must have, if you're like me.

Pros: This is certainly the brightest torch I ever had. Substantially brighter than the beam of my car. It is pretty configurable: one can use either two or three batteries, and two different kinds of batteries are supported. It doesn't get too hot when operating. The build is generally very solid, the case seems well insulated - though I didn't try to use it in heavy rain conditions.

Cons: It is heavy. Not a kind of torch you want to carry with all the other stuff on a long journey - though it does feature a handy belt pouch.

Other: Comparing it with my old UltraFire C8-T6 Cree XM-L T6 800LM torch - that one seems better value. Its life time is long enough, it is bright enough for virtually any application and it is muuuch easier to carry around. This one is bright and "cool" but not terribly useful.
