For that price, It might be worth buying just for comparison. It's $18.88 "But it now" at thier ebay store. Might make a good beater. They also have UV flashlights as well for the same price that look like maglights.

A Surefire G2 Nitrolon is $28 or so from TAD. Why not get the real thing?

I wouldn't buy it. It's the principle of the matter.

Below is a link to CPF with some comments on this light. Also, seems some have bought it for $10.

Get the real thing, you'll be happier.

Brinkmann has the Legend LX for 20 bucks at Wal-Mart, but you might as well get an actual Sure-Fire. Had one for about 6 years now. Expensive to start with, but well worth it down the road.

What's TAD?

I'm assuming a website retailer... Or is it an actual store?

TAD stands for Triple Aught Design: http://www.tadgear.com/

Very cool website, with all the knives and gadgets to make you drool.
