Anyone done business with them? I'm looking for a hot light...something that turns night into day. I like the looks, power, and runtime on this one, but 300.00 is pretty much the max of what I want to spend, and $300.00 generaly does not buy a 4500lm light.

Are their power claims too optimistic for this price? It looks like this was made as a beam pattern and not a flood, which is what I want.

I just don't want to give my $$ to another "Spymodex" type outfit. This may be some outrageous power claim just to get your money... especially when they can't even get their ad right:

• 2+ HOUR BATTERY LIFE: Battery lasts 100 minutes on power-saver mode (4500 LM) and 90 minutes on high power (3500 LM).

That has me confused, it last LONGER on the higher output...which is still only 1.5 hrs...where are they getting 2+ hours?

they are also charging $80 for an extra 4000mAh battery. Looks like it holds 2 18650's or 26650's. Which cost $10-$20....
 
After doing a lot of reading, they are selling Chinese lights that you can get for 1/2 the price on ebay. Also, the power output may or may not be correct, but when compared to a LED light of half the output, the LED light is superior(whether thats because of output or reflector quality I don't know)....although the light in comparison(Olight sr90) is 400.00, and the light being tested(ebay 38/50w 4500lm) is under 200.00.

Now I think I just want a nice LED light around 1200-1500lm for under 200.00.
 
That's still an incandescent bulb light, but it did lead me to an "Ultrafire WF1200" Now that looks like my next light.
 
I decided I really didn't need a 200.00 light, and after looking a bit I really liked the Ultrafire WF-1200l which was around 70-80.00. I happened along Dino Direct's site today and saw it on sale for 43.00 with free shipping so I jumped on it.(I was going to buy it anyway so that sale was all it took to make me pull the trigger). It looks like a pretty good price for this light so here is the link if anyone is interested. No batteries, case or charger, just the light but it uses 2 18650's which I'm sure most of you have all over the place.(hurry only 4 days left)

I got my Ultrafire a few days ago and I really like it a lot...especially for the price. It's not as bright as I wanted but it's petty impressive for it's smaller size. Has a nice balance of flood and spot, but leans towards the spotlight. Probably makes around 6-700lm(my guestimate) I havent ran my first charge out of it yet and I have used it frequently. I'm taking it along with me on a night hike soon so it will definately get the battery life tested then.

I'm still wanting a super light around 2000lm or greater, but this will hold me over for a bit.
 
Stanley HID spotlights were supposedly on sale for $10 from $70 at "wallyworld"

Didn't find any at mine, just the halogen version :-(

Perhaps you folks will have better luck :D
 
I already have a Stanley HID, but I called my local walmart and no go. They didn't have any at all.
