opinions on ebay flashlights
Flashlight1
Flashlight2
# Flashlight Bulb : CREE 225 lumems
# ON/OFF click switch end cap
# Operated Voltage : 3-9V
# Operated by : 2x CR123A Battery OR 1x 17670 Rechargeable Battery (NOT included)
# 2x Ultrafire protective CR123A rechargeable battery
# World voltage charger with US power cord
# Knight's style mount for 20mm rail
# Remote pressure switch (with 5 mode function)
# 5 operation mode control by ON/OFF click switch end cap.
# (Max, High, Low, Strobe and SOS signal)
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.

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!

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.
