Pros and cons of on/off via bezel turning or push button? Think I would prefer a button. The remote seems like a good idea for helmet mounts.

Ebay just adds to the cost. Go directly to the wholesale source that also sells retail to anyone with free shipping on most items.

If it has a plastic lens consider a replacement flashlightlens.com. A glass lens with ar coating really is an improvement over a scratched plastic lens, although the plastic lens will not shatter.

Be wary with these, sometimes they will claim to have a CREE or Luxeon emitter, but will have a cheap Chinese-made emitter or a noticeably coloured reject instead. Buyer beware!

[sumguy]

no real criticism of the flashlights other than the price/vendor and possibly lens so that's good. have asked vendor about lens. gotta wait until next week to buy - $ is a little crazy right now.

spoke too soon I guess :) that is a big concern. purchased a nano clone and it would overheat instead of charge. the replacement was OK; somebody else said theirs was set up for Chinese so they couldn't navigate the menus.
