    It might be worth it if you get all five "funky colors". I might even gift one to you, JV. Would you say you're more of a mate, or a partner?

  Don't get me wrong, it is a saving and I am incline to believe the quality is top notch, but… I think every Ozbargainer has at least 5 to 10 SIPIK clones for 1/3rd to 1/5th of this price, and most likely at least one stronger and possibly better built torch as well (>500lm).
  From practical point of view - this is way too small output for way too short time. For this occasional use I can use my mobile phone flashlight. For anything bigger the Sipik clone is better than this (comparing the light output).

    this is significantly smaller than a SIPIK clone tho…it serves a different purpose, as an "EDC" light.

    also, not all phones have an LED flash to use as a flashlight. my last three phones all have xenon flash (which is better for photos, but can't be used as a flashlight).

  This is 1/3 the size of a SIPIK and is intended as an actual EDC light that would happily hide amongst your keys any day of the week. Quality is indeed very high on Olight products.

  Does anyone know when this code expires?

    ebosh on 15/10/2014 - 09:28

    Bangood seems to have a whole lot of hidden codes for the name brand torches that don't go away. Usually if you enter the model code as a voucher it will take something off. Take Nitecore for example, "EA41" discounts the EA41 from $66US down to $49US

    EDIT: Actually, that makes the EA41 the cheapest I could find from a quick look around

  Be warned. I bought a waterproof torch from Banggood earlier this year and it looked like it was "pre-loved". The torch surface had minor scratches on it and the rubber ring that seals the battery compartment screw thing was snapped. I don't plan to use it underwater so no concerns with the rubber seal.

  The torch is great for the $10 I paid but if people expect quality, you may not get what you expect.

  $25 for a AAA torch is not a good deal.
  i.e http://www.banggood.com/TANK007-E08-CREE-XR-E-Q5-120LM-LED-F… $12.48, even claims more lumns

    Well, the Olight torch is made by a reputable brand and has been tested by several enthusiast sites. With the Chinese generics and knock-offs, the customer doesn't always know what they are getting and certainly the Lumens claimed and runtime are generally (sometimes highly) exaggerated.

    For those who want a good quality torch at a lower than usual price then this is clearly a bargain.

    • 

      ebosh on 15/10/2014 - 09:24

      Agreed. $15 for 80 real lumens in a torch that would last years, vs $3 for 250 Chinese lumens that will stop working after 6 months.

      This is a bargain.

  Be nice if you could choose the colour..

  edit I'm an idiot

  ebosh on 15/10/2014 - 09:12

  Great torch at a great price. Nice find OP. Would make a great stocking stuffer, and you wouldn't have to worry about it not working in 6 months time.

  I also wonder if you could drive it a bit harder with a 10440 battery and boost the output…

  • 

    aim54x on 15/10/2014 - 09:57

    I'm not sure the driver circuit will take it but if you are keen check out CPF to see if anyone has tried

  • 

    caprimulgus on 15/10/2014 - 10:24

    pretty sure you can use 10440…i remember seeing people mention it.

    (check for yourself tho…i wasn't interested in 10440, so wasn't paying particular attention to it)

  just received mine…nice little torch. not the brightest torch around, but decent for the size, and definitely an upgrade from my old maglite solitaire for a small emergency light / EDC.

  not sure how i feel about the mode cycling (L->H->moon, and L->H->moon->L->H->moon->blink).

  in terms of moon, it's kinda nasty to have to cycle through high to get to moonlight mode (given a likely reason for using moonlight mode is to not disturb with light)…but i guess with twist on/off being the only control, there aren't many options. probably the only way around this is making it moon->L-H (which i personally would prefer, but would be a hassle if you use H mode a lot).

  in terms of blink, i think having to cycle through all modes twice is a bit overkill. given you have to do the full cycles no matter what mode you're in, that's 7 twists (on/off) if it's off or in moon, 8 twists if it's in H, and 9 twists if it's in L! they could have just made it activate after moon mode if switching immediately (if not an immediate switch, cycle back to L as it does now). i just feel a bit stupid switching it on and off 7-8 times!

  but yeah, aside from those two things, i like it!
