HEIDER CFX SUPER TORCH

i came across this in a link ans was wondering how good of a deal it was, is there a place i could buy this cheaper? is this decent quality and as bright as they describe? thanks just looking for an ultra bright flashlight that i can run for a while without worrying about it breaking and has a zoom feature, spotlight/ floodlight

$90 for that!? That is by no means a good deal, well a good deal for them since they are ripping people off.

They dont even rate lumen, they just say 700 meter throw. 700 meter out of that short reflector? HA, you have a better chance getting 5W out of a 9mm

yea did notice that.. even went to do a word search on the page for lumen.. the best part is their message at the top... there are big bad counterfeits selling cheaply .. you mean selling it what its worth to buy..15 bucks or whatever ...

where would i get a real one of these? or simply a very bright flashlight with a zoom . flood/spot for under 100, ? size doesn't matter too much.

Zoomies are crap IMO so I will never recommend one, ever. IMO there is no good flood and throw light, they are two completely different things and need separate lights to accomplish this.

WTT Olight SR51 or Crelant 7G5 CS with aspheric lens U3 | BudgetLightForum.com

Crelant light, buy it. They dont sell the aspheric head anymore. Thats what zoom lights are trying to copy. Normal head = good flood/throw, aspheric head = pure throw. Best of both worlds with just a head swap away.

EDIT: It will either have three modes l-m-h or two modes l-h depending on when it was made. either way it has variable ramping so you can get anything from 5 lumen to 800 lumen, just stop the ramp where you want.

You do realize that its like 1.5 ft long right? Those are also found to be part of the biggest scam ever. They have been pointed out on here as well. They sell you a "light" take 60 days to deliver and when it does arrive, its a keychain

Im also not a fan of HID lights. To me a LED is the way to go. Small, super bright and compact sizes. Also feedback is as easy as having your chinese minions create fake ebay accounts and buy your crap, mark as paid and then give feedback. Scammers go the extra mile to make it seem legit

No one reads them, look at all the people who buy crappy lasers and then complain about them
