Lights. CREE XML XM-L T6 / U2 etc Thread

I have just received a Fandyfire waterproof battery box from Ollyboyd on eBay for 13 quid, and some decent quality 18650 Xtar batteries for another 25. The batteries goe straight int the case, and can be charged using the plug in adapter that came with the lamp. Make sure you get protected 18650s, and make sure they are proper Panasonic, Xtar, Efest, Sanyo or Samsung.

Looks like he has sold out. I've seen these from DX.com and another seller possibly lightmalls, but I'd be up for ordering a group of these boxes if anyone else is interested. They are about £5 each from the cheapest seller, but then there is shipping, which adds on a similar amount, so Ollyboyd was selling at a decent price.

Found a link from a seller in China on ebay

What's wrong with a sandwich bag and a couple of lacky bands found dropped by your local postie?

 

[fossyant]

I've taken a punt on an order of 10 cases (postage is as much as 10 cases). I want a few for myself, but will pass onto others if the order goes through. Will let you know IF they arrive !

Edit. Payment takes 24 hours to verify via AliExpress and the order is direct with the Solarstorm manufacturer.

Well after 3 days of use i can say the xml t6 is bright enough for unlit roads and comapred to the magicshine it seems to me to have a more concentrated spot but overall it seems to be not quite as bright after maybe 1 hour of full beam over 3 days the light at the back is still green unless that indicator is a a bit dodgy ?
As for waterproofing my battery pack sits in the pannier bag so thats not an issue for me.
Definitely worth the sub £20 price tag.
