Bought two of these on Ebay, direct from China.

With shipping they are $9.80 per flashlight. ($5.85 + $3.95 shipping)

Not bad really, pretty solid, bright (only did some quick dark walk in closet tests).

Batteries fit nice and snug, no battery rattle. Seems to be made pretty well in my humble opinion. Thinking about buying a few more as gifts.

Here is the review from Flashlightreviews.com

Quake 2 and Inova X-5 for comparison

That's a cool looking flashlight. In other news, Gary007 has a mural in the back of his closet.

Actually, having looked at the photo a second time, that is no mural, but a heap of clothing. Kinda looks like a Japanese painting of mountains.
 
I think I'll pick one up just for fun and to have around the house. I like my SF G2, but at 120 lumens, it's a bit bright for checking the mail late at night (don't wanna wake up the whole neighborhood). What's the run time like?

I thought the same thing when I looked at it the first time.
 
Let me know how you like it.

Runtime I think is around 2 1/2 hours.

Komondor , that made me choke on part of a candy bar lol....
Gary , I bought a similiar light on ebay a while back , it has several LED's and runs on one AA battery.
I do like the light for what it is , but for the amount of LED's ithas in it one would think it would be really bright , not so... It is bright enough for a backup "survival light" but it's barely brighter than my single LED Photon in white. The best feature I think is that it runs on a normal , easily replaced battery as opposed to something "exotic".
