DanceLite C8 CREE XM-L2 U3 10W 10xAMC7135 3500mA 5-MODE Classical LED Flashlight Torch Lamp

I collect lights, lots of light from all the big names but occasionally I like to check out the hundreds of lights availableon amazon just looking for that great find. Well I found two this light being one of them. I found this light after goingthrough 50 or more. It didn't just state lumens it gave detailed specs. A cree xm-l2 U3 that's a good chip if legit. A 7135 driver pushing 10 watts to a single emitter, great if the real thing. So I thought at $10 what do I have To loose.I have purchased several C8 style lights in the past for around $10 and none of them were as advertised. None ofthem were close to the stated lumens, the leds were usually xpe or xpg not xml chips and if it was an xml thedriver was only capable 2 or 3 watts. on top of that they usually had a plastic reflector.when the light arrived boy was I pleased it matched all of the advertised specs. In short this light has the pedigreeof the a high end light but at an ultra budget price. I think at that price I'll pick up some more for gifts.

I bought this as an interest in maybe being able to customize it to be brighter. I hate to say this, but the price actually seems too low for what you are getting, so I will immediately buy a couple more before the stock disappears or the price goes up. The quality is pretty good. I just wish they used a regular spring in the tail cap. I uploaded some pictures of this. I'm not sure of the exact LED used, it appears to be a real Cree though. In the max brightness the light only used 1.33 Amps max. That should be around 5-6 Watts used. I'm hoping the driver is legit and if I put a high end LED in this the driver will work fine. I'm ordering a couple more right now.

Excellent flashlight for the price, solid and feels and looks like good quality. It's as bright as my Convoy C8.
