Just thought if post a pic of the actual size and confirm that it's actually 3AAA batteries not 3AA like on the advert.

It states 2 brightness levels and a projecting beam of (approx 120m).

Also says 480-500 lumen output.

Comes with a bag too, nice little bit of kit.

5w from 3 AAAs...battery life likely to be 40m? (900mAh batteries)

Sorry, just thinking aloud...

Yeah it's going on my helmet with a smudge light on the bars, I'll carry spare AAA but the bars should be fine when it runs out.

It also has an SOS function and a zoom.

It will do me nicely as an extra helmet torch.

Do you think it's better than an ultrafire wf-502b with R5 led?

But given up getting any further in, given the two dimples a real vice and bash both ways and nothing is budging. Not even too sure they are attached to a thread. No way near as bright as a triple XPG. But a super dinky torch that bashing in a vice does not break. However with batteries in I would not want anything heavier on my bonce. I needed a torch for wood gathering anyway.

Would it be feasable to use an external battery? Hole in the backend for cable gland etc.
