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.

yup my suspicions were correct ,, another crappy flashlight with the fake website to make it look legit...but since i know nothing about flashlights i figured i might as well ask

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.

lol well like i said... i know lasers pretty well now but know nothing about flashlights...

how bout one with a happy medium.. flood but still light up the trees in the distance kind of thing
 
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.

alright ill have to check these out .. but here is something interesting i found ... 45 65 85W 8500LUMEN HID Xenon 8700mAh Torch Flashlight Camping Without Carry Box | eBay

certainly if size doesn't matter but is this one actually worth the price ? 8500 lumen seems truck high beams bright lol
 
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

yea i saw those scam ones going around but at least this seller has plenty of reports of people getting theirs on time in the feedback.. and thats why i said if size didn't matter lol ,, dont think i have ever seen a flashlight that big....
 
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

ok ill check out some of those LED lights they may be selling on that budgetlightforum page.. too bad for stammers forum pages like these exist lol.. if only everyone read them
 
No one reads them, look at all the people who buy crappy lasers and then complain about them
 
Led all the way! My 2300lm mtg2 custom ships out today.. Very excited. Will be my brightest light I've ever owned. 1 led! That's just nuts.
