this gets posted every so often
its a tough torch… i've dropped mine on concrete and for my purposes, its fine
its not too bright even on 2,500 mah nimhs but for $5 its great
my cree that runs on cr123s kills it but doesnt last too long
Umm, tried it with a 14500 ?
The mah rating is how long it will last, the voltage is what you want for brightness. An NiMH AA will only give 1.2V, a 14500 will give 3.7V
Personally I would pay the dollar or two extra for a genuine sipik SK-68. I beleive dinodirect have them for about the same price anyway!

I'm not a fan of dinodirect. But focalprice and most sundry chinese etailers will sell them too.
I've had 2 different generic sipik clones like these and both failed within minutes. The genuine ones keep on going.
I completely agree, the sipik is really a great little torch.
Meritline sell the genuine Sipik and it's been as low as $6.99 on the daily deals page recently. Best little torch I've ever owned.
Wait I don't get this. I thought Q5 is brighter than Q3???
It is, but you're only really going to notice a difference if you use a lithium battery, and if you do expect your torch to get a little toasty to hold.
so also good for keeping your hand warm
nice link, but I love this quote from it
"This Bright LED flashlight has correctly specified LEDs, or un-lubed joints, or missing O-rings, high quality and reasonable price, "
Cross your fingers to get the correctly specified LED, rather than the other options.
I actually have one of these (Sipik/clone), not sure where I bought it - will it run on a 14500 ?
Not bright enough for Lightsaber use…
