Tiny torch with attitude..

#1 Post by special » Fri Sep 11, 2009 6:55 pm

Hi Guys..
I grabbed a couple of UltraFire WF-501B torches directly from China via ebay...2 torches each with a rifle mounting bracket..two switches(one bush button end cap and another end cap with a tactical pressure swith on a lead)a lithium charger and two 18650 3.7v 3000Mah batteries(it takes one and has a spare)or it comes with 123a's if prefered...
All up the lot cost around $120AUD to my door for two..
They are super bright new generation CREE globes and are rated at 300 Lumens :shock:
With a very deep reflector and very compact in size they are a must for the back pack...We have ours mounted in place of our compound stabs for smackin' Bunnies after dark :P
A quick flash in the face in bright daylight is painfull..and they perform very well after dark..heres a few pics,sorry for the shoddy photography :oops:

Cheers for that ... it looks like a good light .those CREE EMITTERS sure are good . I might have to get one .... even though the wife thinks I have a Fetish for Torches :lol: The price is good as well . How long did it take you to get it delivered ?

We were looking at these just a couple of days ago. Great to know that they are as good as they are supposed to be, thanks :)

It took around 7 days..not bad.
they come with either 18650 or 123a lithiums and can take either..I chose the 18650 because of the more grunt..but ill carry a handfull of disposable 123A's in my pack when away :wink:
