Budget Luminus SST-50 Aurora flashlights

id: jaykijayki

A bunch of new Aurora flashlights appeared on DX today using the Luminus SST-50 emitters.

Luminus SST-50 emitters are brighter than the SSC-P7 / Cree MC-E and have no donut hole.

Aurora SH-40 - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.33615

 

They all use standard Aurora 18650 light bodies and all seem to use the same 5-mode drivers.

I don't expect 1000 lumens out of these but at worst, 500 lumens should be eaily possible.

btw, SH-44 and SH-40 have smooth reflectors. So it should theoretically throw a bit better.

You would..

Having tried to buy one, they have no stock of any of these. This is after cancelling another order for a large light that they never actually appeared to have any stock of either. Now trying to see if they have one of the ultrafire SST90 lights instead.

They don't. Test marketing I wonder? They have been unable to supply any of the more powerful lights I've tried to order on the day of announcement since November.

Flashlights New Small Sun lights on DX [4] imagefile id: jaykijayki 327 Jan 31, 2010 Feb 04, 2010 00:11
Here's some new budget lights from the company Small Sun which appeared at DX few days ago. Smallsun ZY-C81 Cree Q3-WC 3-Mode (Black or Grey) This looks to me like a pretty decent budget RCR light for only $10. 3 modes. High-Low-Strobe. Tactical-like rear clickie. Looks like the more expensive Nitecore light.... =P http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.33602 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.33603 Smallsun ZY-C...

Romisen RC-A5 Q5 AA/RCR 3 mode. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32948 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32947 As seen by the name, it has a Cree XR-E Q5 emitter. It also supports 1 x AA/14500 using an extender or 1 x RCR without. Although it doesn't say 14500, it's a given that it can be used also. =) Lastly, ...

Just got an Aurora SH-032, a Trustfire F22, an Uniquefire S10 and an Aurora SH0030 single mode light. Links Aurora SH-032 Stainless Steel Cree Q3-WC 3-Mode 160-Lumen Memory LED Flashlight (1*18650) (Bottom Left) This has Cree R2 engraved on the head and seems rather brighter than a Q3. Will do tests shortly. It is pretty small for an 18650 light and is so shiny it looks like it has been chromed. Nicely made...

Has a simple twisty activation and comes with Low-Med-High 3 mode by default. (does have hidden strobe/sos modes) It's very bright! Apparently up to around 190 lumens out the front. That's at least 220+ lumens at emitter imo. Comes in a gif...
