  Every one of the Cree flashlights I've bought from Chinese stores has either started playing up in one way or another or stopped working altogether. Am I just an unlucky dude or is this a common experience?

    No, you are not alone. I've never had one that lasts more than a couple of months.

    My most recent starts flickering and then eventually turns off. It needs a good whack to get it working again :)

      Are we talking about this torch in particular.

      Spewing I wasn't able to grab one, I'm guessing pricing error. Best price I've seen on this torch

      Now I'll probably wait another year

    Yep all my chinese ones are dead pretty quickly too.
    But my 3 led lenser ones keep surviving and usually get heaps more abuse than the chinese ones.

    Treat the "Cree" lights as a test. If you find yourself using it a lot then you would benefit from stepping up to 18650 batteries and a Convoy S2 where you will get a much nicer tint, a broader range of outputs, MUCH better build quality, and an honest maximum lumen level. Then, once you've been using the Convoy, you'll think to yourself "gee, I could use something with more throw" and you'll probably get a Convoy C8. Then after a while you'll think "a right angled headlamp could come in handy" and you'll grab a Skillhunt H03. Then you'll think "wow, the neutral white of this emitter sure is nice. The same in a standard torch form factor would be great", and you'll grab something like an Armytek partner C2 Pro. By now you would have done enough research and you would have come across Zebralight. "I wonder what a neutral white XHP50 would be like in a single 18650 form factor" and you'll order a SC600fd+ MKIV. After a while, you'll think to yourself, "man, I'm tired of all my lights being under 2000 lumens and I'd love something really floody" so you'll buy a BLF Q8. "Gee, this thing throws as far as my C8. Time to step up my throwing game!" And you'll grab something like an Olight M2X-UT. At this point, you'll start to question whether there is anything else worth pursuing, then you'll come across the Emisar D4. By now you are so far down the rabbit hole there is no point going back so you'll grab a soldering iron and start building your own custom lights out of the bodies of Convoy S2's.

    Or not. YMMV.

      Sounds like an assignment your Therapist set you. Hope you are recovering.

        I left out about 15 other lights from that list. My 3yo's first word was "torch". I kind of wish I was joking

  This deal is still active, not nearly as cheap. Can't fault mine for build quality.
